Mya
Mya is a dancer turned smooth urban R&B vocalist who released her eponymous debut in the spring of 1998, when she was just 18 years old.
Mya was born in Washington, D.C., where she took dance classes as a child. After briefly losing interest in the art, she returned to dancing in her pre-teens, eventually joining the dance troupe T.W.A. (Tappers With Attitude). She left the group after a short while, heading to New York to study at the Dance Theater of Harlem with Savion Glover, best known as the choreographer/mastermind behind the Broadway spectacular Bring in da Noise, Bring in da Funk. Her passion for improvisation made her a favorite of Glover, who had her perform solo at the Kennedy Center.
Although Mya was best known as a dancer, she was also musically inclined, learning how to sing and play the violin as a child. When her father -- a professional musician -- learned that his daughter could sing and was serious about a musical career, he shopped around the demo tapes, eventually earning the attention of Haqq Islam, president of University Music. Impressed with Mya's audition, Islam signed her to Interscope Records.
Mya and Interscope spent the next two years working on her debut record, hiring an impressive list of collaborators, including Darryl Pearson, Babyface, Diane Warren, Raphael Brown, Wyclef Jean, Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott, and Sisqo and Moko from Dru Hill. The resulting album was a smooth urban song cycle about love and growing up; it was released in April 1998. Two years later, her more mature second album, Fear of Flying, which featured collaborations with Lisa "Left Eye" Lopez, Jadakiss, Wyclef Jean, and Swizz Beatz, arrived. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

Lyrics
Silkk da Shocker]
Yo Mya
I know you got a man and all
but uhh I been watchin yall
And if he ain't treatin you right
'bout time you move on
Now I'm not trying to get in between yall two,
but you gonna move, move this way
[Mya - Verse 1]
I'm so confused
I don't know what to do ( gonna be aiight, gonna be aiight)
But I gotta be a woman
I gotta get over you ( yeah aiight, yeah aiight)
I think I saw your baby's mother
Creeping at your back door (Yeah-ee Yeah-ee)
And your lying ass been cheatin
And I can't take it no more oh oh
I'm movin on (move on)
Chorus:
On
(movin on)(and move my way)
On
(movin on-on) (move on)
Oh-on
I'll be movin on (and move my way, say what say what)
[Mya - Verse 2]
Whose drawers are these
You know I wear a size four (huh what, say what)
And if you say that you've been faithful
Who was at your back door
You ain't got no money ( it don't matter about all that, I got some)
I should've left you long ago (Yea-ee Yea-ee Yea-ee)
And your stroke ain't strokin no more
So I've been sleepin all alone
(she shouldn't have to sleep by herself you know what I'm sayin)
If you know what I mean
I'm movin on ( move on)
Chorus (2x's)
[Silkk]
Well now I'm a No Limit Soldier
Known to keep it rowdy
You know one's that make you say uhh
And Bout It, Bout It
Now one to the two
Two to the three
I aint sayin leave him
But you need to like roll wit me
Cause I can see you aint happy here
When I look in your eye
You a bird
You gotta spread your wings
So now it's time to fly
You aint never gotta trip
Or remind me
I'm trying to live ghetto fab
Like takin baths
In bottles of Don P
But I aint perfect
Just imagine me with no flaws
Like a parking lot
Wit no cars
Cell block
Wit no bars
World wit no wars
L.A.wit no stars
Check this out
I can heal your broken heart
So don't be so fast
To react so quick
Or get all mad
And try to scratch up my 6
Now you know I get paid
For bustin all kind of tight verses
See I need a girl
That I can see on top
Like Silkk and Mya
Or vice versa

We decided to assign verses and chorus in the song so the parts where you see our logos is what we've done. I LOVE the outcome and this is one of my fav videos now.
