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) |
