| A lonely mother gazining out of the window | |
| Staring at her son that she just can’t touch | |
| If at any time he’s in a jam she’ll be by his side | |
| But he doesn’t realize he hurts her so much | |
| But all the praying just ain’t helping at all | |
| Cuz he can’t seem to keep his self out of trouble | |
| So he goes out and he makes his money | |
| The best way he knows how | |
| Another body layin cold in the gutter | |
| Listen to me | |
| Don’t go chasing waterfalls | |
| Please stick to the rivers | |
| And the lakes that you’re used to | |
| I know that you’re gonna have it | |
| Your way or nothing at all | |
| But I think you’re moving too fast | |
| Little precious has a natural obsession | |
| For temptation but he just can’t see | |
| She gives him loving that his body | |
| Can’t handle but all he can say | |
| Is “baby is good to me” | |
| One day he goes and take a glimpse in the mirror | |
| But he doesn’t recognize his own face | |
| His health is fading and he doesn’t know why | |
| 3 letters took him to his final resting place… | |
| Y’all don’t you hear me | |
| Don’t go chasing waterfalls | |
| Please stick to the rivers | |
| And the lakes that you’re used to | |
| I know that you’re gonna have it | |
| Your way or nothing at all | |
| But I think your moving too fast(2x) | |
| Come on | |
| I seen a rainbow yesterday | |
| But to many storms have come and gone | |
| Leaving a trace | |
| Of not one God giving ray | |
| Is it because | |
| My life is ten shades of grey | |
| I pray all ten fade away | |
| Seldom praise him for the seven days | |
| And like his promise is true | |
| Only my faith can undo | |
| The many chances I blew | |
| To bring my life to anew | |
| Clear and blue and unconditional | |
| Skies have dried the tears from my eyes | |
| No more lonely cries, | |
| My only bleeding hope | |
| Is for the folk who can’t cope | |
| With such an endurine pain | |
| That it keeps them in the pourin’ rain | |
| Who’s to blame for tootin caine into your own vein | |
| What a shame you shoot and aim | |
| For some one elses blame | |
| You claim the insane for | |
| This day and time for falling | |
| Prey to crime I say the system’s | |
| Got you victim to your own mind | |
| Dreams are hopeless aspirations | |
| In hopes of coming true | |
| Believe in yourself | |
| The rest is up to me and you | |
| Don’t go chasing waterfalls | |
| Please stick to the rivers | |
| And the lakes that you’re used to | |
| I know that you’re gonna have it | |
| Your way or nothing at all | |
| But I think your moving too fast X2 (faded) |
