Verse 1 <br />A lonely mother gazing out of the window <br />Staring at a son that she just can't touch <br />If at any time he's in a jam she'll be by his side <br />But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much <br />But all the praying just ain't helping at all <br />Cause he can't seem to keep his self out of trouble <br />So he goes out and he makes his money the best way he knows how <br />Another body laying cold in the gutter Listen to me <br /><br />Chorus <br />Don't go chasing waterfalls <br />Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to <br />I know that ypu're gonna have it your way or nothing at all <br />But I think you're moving too fast <br /><br />Verse 2 <br />Little precious has a natural obsession <br />For temptation but he just can't see <br />She gives him loving that his body can't handle <br />But all he can say is baby it's good to me <br />One day he goes and takes a glimpse in the mirror <br />But he doesn't recognize his own face <br />His health is fading and he doesn't know why <br />3 letters took him to his final resting place <br />Ya'll dont'hear me <br /><br />Chorus <br /><br />Rap <br /><br />I seen a rainbow yesterday <br />But too many storms have come <br />Leaving a trace of not one God-given ray <br />Is it because my life is ten shades of grey <br />I pray all ten fade away <br />Seldem praise Him for the sunny days <br />And like His promise is true <br />Only my faith can undo <br />The many chances I blew <br />To bring my life to a new <br />Clear blue and unconditional skies <br />Have dried the tears from my eyes <br />No more lonely cries <br />My only bleedin' hope is for the folk who can't cope <br />With such an endurin' pain that it keeps 'em in the pouring rain <br />Who's to blame for shootin'caine into you're own vein <br />What a shame you shoot and aim for someone else's brain <br />You claim the insane and name this day in time <br />For fallin' prey to crime <br />I say the system got you victim to your own mind <br />Dreams are hopeless aspirations <br />In hopes of comin' true <br />Believe in yourself <br />The rest is up to me and you <br /><br />Chorus
