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
Staring at her son that she just can't touch

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

I wish I could walk on water. Or dance on water. I’m reading a book now by Neil Gaiman where a dude dreams he can walk on water. I had a dream once I could do it too. Man it would be fun. Also one of those ladies looks like she is ready to play a football game. She has the black make up on. Never understood why they did the big black marks under the eyes. But man does it make them look bad ass.
I remember they had a song "No Scrubs", but this was their only song I recognized
Kinda catchy, with the some deeper lyrics and pretty ladies dancing in flood waters
Yeah this was their song, the peak of their career
And boy did MTV love this video - it was on all the time
It even crossed genres - they played it on 120 Minutes & Headbanger's Ball
It was out of control
94' was a simpler time though, this song was just trying to stay afloat in the waters of the grunge era
Waterfalls are cool - especially Niagara Falls -
I went there when I was four, but still remember it vividly
