- waterfalls (water is relaxation)
- clouds (heavenly god)
- drug dealers (a group of sinners) a mother in distress ( a call for help)
- a son (a quick hustler to get better)
- a couple( haves sex without a condom he was going to use but she threw the condom and said no and so they both die of H.I.V/aids)
'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." They are referring to him selling drugs and ending up dead hence the next set of lyrics. "Another body laying cold in the gutter. Listen to me.", sings T.L.C. I thought the chorus of this song was about never leaving your family to pursue goals, but in actuality it is about doing good to change the outcome of the stereotypes people have of you already based on where you come from. In verse 2 it is about a couple who has H.I.V and dies. T.L.C sings:
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 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
This is such a powerful verse because women are most time manipulative and men follow our lead and give in. The girl in this couple slept with so many men that she lost count and ends up killing the one man who truly loved her which is shown in the video. In verse 3 the lyrics are showing how life can be a great thing if we overcome obstacles and trials as we keep praying to GOD.
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
