Waterfalls - TLC

Ganito. Ganito ‘yung klase ng mga kanta dati, hindi lang masarap pakinggan, mayron ka pang matututunan. Long live Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes and T-Boz and Chili~

A lonely mother gazing out of the 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 his self out of trouble 
So he goes out and he makes his money the best way he knows 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 gives 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 
3 letters took him to his final resting place 
Ya’ll 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 

I seen a rainbow yesterday 
But too many storms have come 
Leaving a trace of not one God-given ray 
Is it because my life is ten shades of grey 
I pray all ten fade away 
Seldom praise Him for the sunny days 
And like His promise is true 
Only my faith can undo 
The many chances I blew 
To bring my life to a new 
Clear blue and unconditional skies 
Have dried the tears from my eyes 
No more lonely cries 
My only bleedin’ hope is for the folk who can’t cope 
With such an endurin’ pain that it keeps ‘em in the pouring rain 
Who’s to blame for shootin’ caine into you’re own vein 
What a shame you shoot and aim for someone else’s brain 
You claim the insane and name this day in time 
For fallin’ prey to crime 
I say the system got you victim to your own mind 
Dreams are hopeless aspirations 
In hopes of comin’ 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 you’re moving too fast
