Waterfalls (瀑布) - Old Skool R & B Masters[00:00:00]
A lonely mother gazing out of the window[00:00:33]
Staring at her son[00:00:37]
That she just can't touch[00:00:39]
If at any time he's in a jam [00:00:42]
She'll be by his side[00:00:45]
But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much [00:00:47]
But all the praying just ain't helping at all[00:00:54]
'Cause he can't seem to[00:00:58]
Keep his self out of trouble[00:01:00]
So he goes out and he makes his money[00:01:03]
The best way he knows how[00:01:07]
Another body laying cold in the gutter[00:01:09]
Listen to me[00:01:14]
Don't go chasing waterfalls [00:01:15]
Please stick to the rivers[00:01:19]
And the lakes that you're used to[00:01:21]
I know that you're gonna[00:01:25]
Have it your way or nothing at all[00:01:27]
But I think you're moving too fast[00:01:30]
Little precious has a natural[00:01:38]
Obsession for temptation[00:01:40]
But he just can't see[00:01:43]
She gives him loving[00:01:48]
That his body can't handle[00:01:50]
But all he can say is [00:01:52]
"Baby is good to me"[00:01:54]
One day he goes and takes a glimpse[00:01:59]
In the mirror[00:02:02]
But he doesn't recognize his own face[00:02:03]
His health is fading[00:02:10]
And he doesn't know why[00:02:11]
3 letters took him to his final resting place[00:02:14]
Y'all don't you hear me [00:02:18]
Don't go chasing waterfalls [00:02:20]
Please stick to the rivers[00:02:24]
And the lakes that you're used to[00:02:26]
I know that you're gonna[00:02:30]
Have it your way or nothing at all[00:02:32]
But I think you're moving too fast[00:02:35]
Come on[00:02:40]
I'd seen a rainbow yesterday[00:02:42]
But too many storms have come and gone[00:02:44]
Leaving a trace of not one God giving ray[00:02:45]
Is it because my life is ten shades of gray [00:02:47]
I pray all ten fade away [00:02:49]
Seldom praise him for the sunny days[00:02:51]
And like his promise is true[00:02:53]
Only my faith can undo the many chances[00:02:54]
I blew to bring my life to anew[00:02:56]
Clear and blue and unconditional skies[00:02:58]
Have dried the tears from my eyes[00:03:00]
No more lonely cries my only bleeding hope[00:03:02]
Is for the folk who can't cope[00:03:04]
With such an enduring pain[00:03:06]
That it keeps them in the pourin' rain[00:03:07]
Who's to blame for tootin[00:03:09]
Caine into your own vein[00:03:10]
What a shame you shoot[00:03:11]
And aim for someone elses blame[00:03:13]
You claim the insane[00:03:14]
And name this day in time[00:03:15]
For fallin prey to crime[00:03:16]
I say the system's got you victim[00:03:17]
To your own mind[00:03:18]
Dreams are hopeless aspirations[00:03:20]
In hopes of coming true[00:03:21]
Believe in yourself[00:03:23]
The rest is up to me and you[00:03:24]
Don't go chasing waterfalls [00:03:25]
Please stick to the rivers[00:03:29]
And the lakes that you're used to[00:03:31]
I know that you're gonna[00:03:34]
Have it your way or nothing at all[00:03:36]
But I think you're moving too fast[00:03:40]
Moving too fast[00:03:44]
Don't go chasing waterfalls [00:03:47]
Please stick to the rivers[00:03:50]
And the lakes that you're used to[00:03:52]
I know that you're gonna[00:03:56]
Have it your way or nothing at all[00:03:58]
But I think you're moving too fast[00:04:01]
