And the lyrics take no prisoners. WATERFALLS by Raymon Ameer Murray, Rico Renard Wade, Lisa Nicole Lopes, Marqueze M. Ethridge, Patrick L. Brown 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 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 himself out of trouble So he goes out, and he makes his money the best way he know how Another body lying cold in the gutter spoken: Listen to me CHORUS 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 gets 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 [HIV] took him to his final resting place spoken: Y'all don't hear me CHORUS rap: spoken I seen a rainbow yesterday But too many storms have come and gone Leavin' a trace of not one God-given ray Is it because my life is ten shades of gray 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 tooting 'caine In your 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 CHORUS -- copyright Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC BMG Rights Management Wikipedia article on the TLC song "Waterfalls" Big hit. |

In my family, a young relative died because his dealer had put fentanyl in his cocaine. Whenever the suckers feel sure of themselves, the dealers throw in a new danger. |
