Blackstreet has also collaborated with Jay-Z on his single "The City is Mine". With the help of the Janet Jackson single "Girlfriend", Blackstreet finally had a top ten album with Finally. But personnel shifts wracked the group and contributed to the relative failure of Finally in 1999, and Blackstreet soon broke up. After rumors of legal action and a preemptive countersuit, the group reformed and released Level II in 2003.

this is the remix remat
brought you by Blackstreet (1,1,1,2)
no diggity no doubt
play on, playa
she was a gold digger
yo, dre drop the verse
said 'I don't mind but what do you mean I am the one
who will dance,on the floor,in around?" (No, No, No diggity)
She said I am the one
who will dance,
on the floor in around
She told me her name was Billie Jean as she caused a scene,
then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of bein' the one
who will dance,
on the floor,
in around,
People always told me, "be careful what you do,
don't go around breakin young girls' hearts"
And mama always told me, "be careful who you love
be careful what you do, because a lie become the truth."
Billie Jean is not my lover
she's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son (No diggity, no doubt about it)
she said I am the one
but the kid is not my son (No, No, No, no diggity)
for forty days and for forty nights I was on the scene
but who could stand when she's in demand her schemes and blames
gonna dance,
on a floor,
in around, (No, No, No, diggity)
so take my strong advice:
Just remember to always think twice (No)
Don't think twice
She told my baby imagined free and she looked at me
and showed a photo of a baby cry his eyes were like mine
so we danced,
on a floor,
in around,
people always told me, "be careful what you do
Don't go around brakin' young girls' hearts"
But she she came and stood right by me and i smalled her sweet perfume (hehehe)
it happend much too soon,
she called me to the room
(Repeat 2x)
Billie Jean is not my lover,
she's just a girl who claims that I am the one,
but the kid is not my
(Repeat till end of song)
Billie Jean's not my lover
The lyrics to Blackstreet's song "Billie Jean" are a remix of Michael Jackson's famous hit of the same name. The song tells the story of the singer and his encounter with a woman named Billie Jean, who claims that he is the father of her child. However, the singer denies these claims, saying that Billie Jean is not his lover and the child is not his son. The lyrics also touch on the themes of love, deceit, and caution.
The first verse of the song introduces Billie Jean as a beauty queen from a movie scene. The singer is intrigued by her, asking her what she means when she says she is the one who will dance on the floor in around. The second verse describes how Billie Jean causes a scene and turns the heads of everyone in the room. It is here that she reveals her name, and the proceedings take a turn for the worse as she accuses the singer of being the father of her child.
The chorus repeats the message that Billie Jean is not the singer's lover and the child is not his, but Billie Jean continues to try and convince him otherwise. The song ends with the singer's conclusion that caution should always be taken when it comes to matters of the heart.
Overall, "Billie Jean" is a cautionary tale of love and the importance of being careful when it comes to matters of the heart. It showcases Blackstreet's talent for creating a remix of a popular song that both honors the original while giving it a new twist.
