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 sideBut 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 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
Man I aint chasing water falling water chasing me
I pay it forward right before I make em pay for me
It′s getting harder in a world hate and blatant greed
I practice karma like a farmer harvest patiently
Don't be atomic
Focus on what ya cause is
Every effect got causes
Especially pregnant pauses
If you a target then it prolly means you got the juice
So let ya cup just runneth over for the haters too
•••••
Make em quench a thirst for you
Now they wanna work with you
Mean time you steady pressing forward for the sake of you
An algorithmic money making mogul
Paying dues
And now instead of haters hating
Haters paying you
And it's a cycle triangular
Straying is dangerous
See what I be praying for is
Always intangible
But always obtainable
The power a God is all I need
Ain′t no falling water chasing
Worth a damn
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
