Waterfall

If she aint grinnin from ear to ear
Then she grinnin from here to here
So I figure she think i'm handsome or something
And we still both young, still tryin to find our feet
Still with wills, with an I
of steel, with an E
but still, with a I,
We, damn, both just
Wanna do the damn thing
but cant seem for a damn thing
to figure out this damn thing
happiness keeps getting pushed back for some damn thing
and our hearts get backed up like a dam
she just lookin for something concrete
but you dont want me baby
i'm just another waterfall
dont chase me
she say she
wish i could see what she see
she see this beauty in my nature...
she see me, all the time, being me
it look good, sound good
refreshing...
like runnin water
and the smile she wears when i'm arouond
paints a perfect picture
of her herbal essence showerin in this feeling i give her
strumming her pain with my finger
singin her life with the words i deliver
but i'm just another nigga shorty
fluid like water
i'll slip right through your hands baby
i'm just another waterfall, dont chase me
i may be
a breath of fresh air
i may be
a sight of beauty to your eye
but sturdy ground i'm not
you dont wanna live there
probably seem like i'm the shit but shit, i aint really shit
just different from the shit you been around
but dig this
a waterfall aint nothin but a messed up
dressed up cliff
fall for me
but dont slip
dont loose you're ground in the passion
rockin your boat like we whitewater raftin on rapids
twistin, turnin, laughin
clenchin, squeezin,
screamin: harder, faster
but i seen that sea of joy
become nothin more than gallons
upon gallons of tears
but if two of those fall in a bucket
you know my cry
fuck it
I'm so used to
familiar with
weary of this edgy lovin
we just tell each other dont look down
and jumpin off seems so fun
and if we do the un-thinkable
would that make us look crazy
baby
i'm just another waterfall
a good ass dream, thats all
dont chase me...
