A lonely mother gazing out of her window
Staring at a 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
'Cause he can't seem to keep himself
Out of trouble
So, he goes out, and makes his money
the best way he know how
Another body laying 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 give him loving
That his body can't handle
But all he can say is,
"Baby, it's good to me"
One day he goes and takes a glimpse
In the mirror
But he doesn't recognize his own face
His health is fading and he doesn't know why
Three letters took him to his final
resting place
Y'all don't 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 you're moving too fast
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 (come on)
rap
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
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
