Written by Michael Jackson and Dr. Freeze
A little bit info about the song:
Was one of three songs Jackson worked on with Dr. Freeze during the early "Invincible"
session in 1999 (the other two being "A Place Without No Name", and "Break of
Dawn", the latter of which was featured on "Invincible"). BG is a sequel of
sorts to the film noir gangster classic, "Smooth Criminal". Jackson was
fascinated by the gangster figure in film and folklore, from Al Capone to Legs
Diamond (in his planned 2009 concert series, This Is It, he incorporated a scene
from the 1946 film, Gilda, in which he stood in for Humphrey Bogart). Many of
the unioque features of the original version of the recording are retained here,
including the big cinematic brass and accordion (perhaps a tip of hat to The
Godfather). Timbaland accentuates the tracks's dark tension with a foreboding
soundscape, rapid-fire snare percussion and pounding beat, over which Jackson
delivers alternately aggressive verses and plaintive chorus cries.

What you're gonna do
You ain't no friend of mine
Look what you've put me through
Now that I'm the blue gangsta
What you're gonna do
You ain't no friend of mine
The blue gangsta
What you're gonna do, cause I'm gonna get you
No where to run no where to hide
All the things you've said and the things you've done to me
You can no longer make me cry
Look what you've done to me, baby
I can no longer smile, baby
And I've waited so long, just to carry on
I'm the blue gangsta
What you're gonna do
You ain't no friend of mine (Gangster)
Look at what you've put me through
Now that I'm the blue gangsta (I'm the blue gangsta)
What you're gonna do
You ain't no friend of mine
(I could never fall in Love)
The blue gangsta
What you're gonna do
You ain't no friend of mine (What you're gonna do)
Look what you've put me through
Now I'm the blue gangsta (Aaaah)
What you're gonna do
You ain't no friend of mine
(I can never fall in Love)
The blue gangsta
You've tricked me nine to five, left and you said a crime
People telling me, you've got another guy
I've been abused, watch me light in fuse
Said you'd be my wife, nothing but big lies
Don't know what I've done, everything you've got
Things you've done to me, are coming back to you
You know just what I've done, the things you've done to me
I'm the blue gangsta
What you're gonna do
You ain't no friend of mine (Oh No)
Look what you've put me through
Now that I'm the blue gangsta (I'm the blue gangsta)
What you're gonna do
You ain't no friend of mine
(I can never fall in Love)
The blue gangsta
What you're gonna do (What you're gonna do)
You ain't no friend of mine (What you're gonna do)
Look what you've put me through
Now that I'm the blue gangsta (Naaah)
(Look what you've done girl)
What you're gonna do
You ain't no friend of mine (Oh No)
(I can never fall in Love)
The blue gangsta
See, I am so amused to the things you've said
And the things you have done to me
There is nothing in this world make me change
You make me wanna sing
Aaaah
Aaaah
Aaaah
What you're gonna do
You ain't no friend of mine
Look what you've put me through
Now that I'm the blue gangsta
(Aaaah)
What you're gonna do
You ain't no friend of mine
The blue gangsta (blue gangsta)
What you're gonna do
You ain't no friend of mine (What you're gonna do)
Look what you've put me through
Now that I'm the blue gangsta (Look what you've put me through, Baby!)
What you're gonna do
You ain't no friend of mine
(I never thought I fall in Love)
The blue gangsta
What you're gonna do (What you're gonna do)
You ain't no friend of mine (What you're gonna do)
Look what you've put me through (Look what you've put me through, girl)
Now that I'm the blue gangsta
What you're gonna do (Oh No)
You ain't no friend of mine
(I never wanna fall in Love)
The blue gangsta
What you're gonna do
You ain't no friend of mine (You ain't no friend of mine)
Look what you've put me through
Now that I'm the Blue Gangsta (You ain't no friend of mine)
What you're gonna do
You ain't no friend of mine (Oh No)
(I never thought I fall in Love)
The blue gangsta
What you're gonna do (What you're gonna do do)
You ain't no friend of mine (Look what you've put me through)
Look what you've put me through (What are you gonna do)
Now that I'm the blue gangsta (What you're gonna do)
What you're gonna do
You ain't no friend of mine (Oh No)
(I never thought I fall in Love)
