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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Chorus: Mýa and Blackstreet
Take me there, I wanna go there
Take me there, Let's go there
Take me to that great place with wonders and wishes
Take me there, I wanna go there
Just take me to that great place with wonders and wishes
Verse One: Mýa
Sittin here thinkin bout yesterday
About what we did and how we used to play
Just the thought of you brings a smile upon my face
That's how it makes me feel to see you everyday
Where we go, nobody knows
And what we do, is between me and you
So c'mon and take my hand, to that special place
Where smiles come to life, and dreams come true
(Chorus)
Verse Two: Chauncey Of Blackstreet
Let's make a wish
Close your eyes and count to five
Cuz you know that everything will be alright
See the magic in your eyes
Strong enough you know
To bring your dreams to life
Where we go, Nobody knows
And what we do, is between me and you
So c'mon and take my hand, to that special place
I don't want this dream to ever go away
(Chorus)
Rap One: Mase
Angelica's the one with all the exposure
Dil is the one who drop in the stroller
Tommy got the whole world on his shoulders
While Dil cries to sleep,
Til' his eyes get bleak
I'm identical to Chucky, Chucky to petro
Chucky get scared, Chucky says "Let's Go."
If I was a rugrat, it would've been so real
Me and my twin would've been just like Phil and Lil
Rap Two: Blinky Blink
Got one wish, Blink grant you one trip
Where we going, it's an adventure, who you wanna come with
See you my little brother that I'll come get
Run with, But it gotta be done quick
See Chucky is scared and Tommy is sad
And Phil and Lil misses their mommy and dad
So take the time and day
And we'll find the place
And I guarantee that we will all get home safe
Mýa: Just Take me there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
