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
