I knew this back then as a child. “3 letters took him to his final resting place, listen to meee”.

[tclark]

I knew all this the first time I heard the song

It’s not dark. It’s informative. It talks about the dangers of taking the easy route or giving into our lower natures to forfill lustful desires. I was just a little girl and understood that. It’s not so hidden the messages that you can’t understand it.

[KristinMarie]

So this song for the people that have clearly never seen the video is about different stories 1st the water falls represents dangerous or self destructive ways the boy is selling drugs living life on the edge he die from the life 2nd the man looks for a dangerous women and they both die from HIV is the moral of the story hope that helps!❤

ooh god i had no idea!!! its crazy! i was 15 and had no clue to what the song was about!! i was wondering what those 3 letters was HIV??? i thought it was sex. and i had nu clue what left eye was rapping we just sing along what whe tought she rapt . but now it really is an really dark and bubbly song. its crazy how i had no idea.. thanks for the meaning of the song now in know what it means. oooh and according to left eye i am a person who would stay her hole life in the pouring rain! My only bleedin' hope is for the folk who can't cope
With such an endurin' pain that it keeps them in the pourin' rain

the Paul McCartney song "Waterfalls" has a similar them and melody - from 1989

You missed the part at the end when they dropped back down to the water🥹

We black Americans knew what the song was about when it first hit thuhrdy yearz ago

[JoyceDick-xo]

If you really really really listen deeply to the song you'll get it what it's about and or have the lyrics come up during the song and then you can read what it's all about

[Newjeansfanediter]

The song is actually not about chasing waterfalls but it’s about two man

[MariellaSantos]

Bet only November babies cares about the meaning of each and every songs. November baby 🖐️

I’m pretty sure we all know this. The video is self explanatory. And I’m sure people was paying attention to TBoz lyrics

[thepointsnorth]

A dark warning “borrowing” heavily from McCartney

[notknown]

Everyone already understood the song 🙄

[markitathomas]

Who doesn't know this? The song spells it out just like you did. This vid is useless😂🌈🌈🌈

[AyeYoQ]

I caught on to this first time I heard it….

[unum]

This is not new. If you listen to the words, it's spelled out quite specifically and literally. You simply quoted the lyrics in your explanation.

[ghaxtly]

I thought the three letters just meant god💀

[nando]

Lol if u didnt know this already then u dont deserve to listen to TLC

[WarholMonet]

Didn’t they take the line from the Paul McCartney song waterfall
