I just wanted to dedicate this journal entry to the late Lisa "Left-Eye" Lopes. She will always remain in our hearts, prayers, and memories! TLC will never be the same without her great inspirational and, at times, unspoken talent! She will be greatly missed!

WATERFALLS
A lonely mother gazing out of the window, staring at a son that she just can't touch, if 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 knows how, another body laying cold in the gutter, listen to me,
CHORUS:
Don't go chasing waterfalls, please stick to the rivers and the lakes that your used to, I know that your gonna have it your way or nothing at all, but I think your moving too fast
Little precious has a natural obsession for temptation but he just can't see, she gives him lovin' 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, ya'll don't hear me
CHORUS
RAP-Lisa
I seen a rainbow yesterday but too many storms have come and gone leaving a chance of not one God-given ray, is it because my life is ten shades of grey, 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 pourin' rain, who's to blame for shootin' 'caine into 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
