One day he goes and take a glimpse in the mirror
And the lakes that you’re used to
'Cause he can't seem to keep his self out of trouble
Who's to blame for tootin’ caine into your own vein
And the lakes that you’re used to
Another body layin' cold in the gutter
If at any time he's in a jam, she'll be by his side
Believe in yourself
The rest is up to me and you
I say the system's got you victim to your own mind
You claim the insane for this day
I know that you’re gonna have it your way or nothing at all
And time for falling prey to crime
Y'all, don’t you hear me?
But he just can't see
I pray, all ten fade away, seldom praise him for the seven days
But all he can say is, "Baby is good to me"
She gives him loving that his body can't handle
I know that you’re gonna have it your way or nothing at all
So he goes out and he makes his money the best way he knows how
I know that you’re gonna have it your way or nothing at all
Leaving a trace of not one God giving ray
And like his promise is true
No more lonely cries, my only bleeding hope
Clear and blue and unconditional skies
But I think you're moving too fast
I seen a rainbow yesterday but too many storms have come and gone
But all the praying just ain't helping at all
But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much
I know that you’re gonna have it your way or nothing at all
Is for the folk who can't cope with such an endurin’ pain
Come on
3 letters took him to his final resting place
Don’t go chasing waterfalls, please stick to the rivers
Is it because my life is ten shades of gray?
What a shame, you shoot and aim for someone else’s blame
And the lakes that you’re used to
But I think you're moving too fast
That it keeps them in the pourin' rain
Listen to me
Only my faith can undo the many chances I blew to bring my life to anew
Y'all, don’t you hear me?
Dreams are hopeless aspirations in hopes of coming true
But I think you're moving too fast
Have dried the tears from my eyes
Don’t go chasing waterfalls, please stick to the rivers
Don’t go chasing waterfalls, please stick to the rivers
Little precious has a natural obsession for temptation
And the lakes that you’re used to
But he doesn’t recognize his own face
Don’t go chasing waterfalls, please stick to the rivers
His health is fading and he doesn’t know why
