Blackstreet
Blackstreet Lyrics

One morning, I came across a star
I stumbled upon something special and unique one morning

Trying to find her way back home
The star was lost and needed help finding her way

As the day changed, it rained
The weather changed, reflecting the uncertainty of the situation

And she said
The star spoke up, seeking guidance

Just look into the water
The star suggested looking beyond the surface to find answers

There's no better place to be, uh-huh
The star believed that the truth and solutions could be found through introspection

It will take you to that Blackstreet
The star believed that this introspection could lead to a better place or state of being

Where things change
Blackstreet represents a transformative place where things can improve

It's nothing better, it's nothing better
There is no greater or more beneficial place to be than Blackstreet

Ooh, Blackstreet
Blackstreet is a desirable and exciting place

Take me there (take me there)
The singer longs to go to Blackstreet

I wanna go, I've gotta go, I
The desire to go to Blackstreet is strong and urgent

Can you take me there?
The singer requests help or guidance in reaching Blackstreet

Welcome to Blackstreet
Blackstreet is a welcoming and inclusive place

(Yo, yo, yo)
An exclamation or greeting

(Can you feel it?)
An invitation to experience the excitement and energy of Blackstreet

Feel this
Experience this sensation, feeling or vibe

Twelve cars, mansion, beautiful kids
The singer lists off signs of wealth and success

Fly life, my life
The singer's life is glamorous and exciting

Wanna be here to see it on TV
The artist's life is worthy of being televised and admired by others

Listen to my CD, easily
The artist has made music that is easy to listen to and enjoy

Dough flow, blow, do the show, all across the globe
The artist has made a lot of money, performed everywhere, and has an international reach

Lotta carats in my earlobe, chillin', twenty million
The singer has expensive jewelry and is casually enjoying their wealth

Wanna jam with Mike, hear those Blackstreet heroes
The artist desires to collaborate with Michael Jackson and listen to Blackstreet's influential music

Do they thing, whatcha got?
Blackstreet is talented and impressive, and the singer is curious to see what they can do

New jack swing, Teddy, stay ready
Blackstreet plays a type of music called new jack swing, and Teddy is always prepared to perform

Deadly on the remix
Blackstreet is skilled at making remixes of songs

I'm the prefix and suffix, got enough chips
The artist is important and influential, and has plenty of money

Not enough hits though, don't get it twisted
The artist has not achieved as much musical success as they would like

Over a hundred of mine listed, why?
The singer has created a lot of music, but still feels unsatisfied or unfulfilled

K-sick widows and six zeroes in the blink of a eye
The singer has the potential to make a lot of money very quickly

In the game I'm ahead of, spread love, call my fleet
The artist is successful in their profession, and promotes positivity and teamwork

When I break bread, we all'll eat
When the artist succeeds, everyone around them benefits

That's how we play from Motown to VA
This is the artist's style of business and collaboration, from Motown to the state of Virginia

T.R., mad PR, Cuban cigar, never illegal
The singer has connections and enjoys luxury items like Cuban cigars, but never engages in anything illegal

None of y'all equal, peek-a-boo, I see you
The artist is superior to their competition, and sees through their façade

Now I'll leave you with just a little sneak preview
The singer will give the audience a glimpse of their talent or upcoming work

You know how we do, music for the people
The singer's music is aimed at pleasing and entertaining a broad audience

Got to give the people
It is important to satisfy the audience's desires and expectations

Give the people what they want
The audience knows what they want, and it is up to the artist to fulfill those wants

Want y'all to feel this
The artist desires for the audience to connect with their music and experience it fully

Get near this, hear this, it's the realest
The music is authentic, powerful, and worth experiencing
