[Chorus: Mercedes Martinez]
I, I, I can't help it, I, I, I can't help it,
I can't help it, I can't help, I can't help it, I can't help it
I, I, I, I can't help it, I, I, I can't help it,
I can't help it, I can't help it, I can't help it, I can't help it

[Malik B]
Live with it, thats how I survive with it,
Talk jive with, you take dive with it,
Connive with it, depart and arrive with it,
Harsh thrive thats why its part I with it
I did it, make rhymes in 5 minutes,
Mind of a dentist, crimes of the diminished,
Press rewind see what you find in my image,
Take you nigga's back to that line of a scrimmage,
Riq you know we pull a freak with the flow,
Talks cheap thats why we speak with the dough,
Ill techniques sure I'm sleek with the flow,
Its cold outside niggas sleep with the snow,
I tweak in the low tone,freak when the o-zone,
I can't help hiding my seat oh its so known,
I only do what got to because its possible,
And climbing over whatevers known as an obstacle.

[Chorus]

(Black Thought)

I can't help it, maybe I'm selfish,
Maybe the way I'm running is becoming a hell freeze,
All I can see is smoke from tortoise shells that sell shit
50's I feel like I'm making a sales pitch,
My head already so heavy its making the scales tip,
I got my own pressure and got everyones elses,
I'm rehabilitating and still feeling rebellious,
Candidate of heart failure more pills than Elvis,
In a layer cake, half chocolate half velvet,
I'm listening to some howe Melvin,
I got so many options theres so many toxins yo,
Didn't really tell what we killing ourselves with,
I lit a cigarette and then held it,
I'm thinking of some rhymes more illa than a threatin' illment,
I'm on some bomb threat in the mail shit,
Because of all things I dealt with, nigga I can't help it

[Chorus]

[Porn]
I never said I'm ready to die, but I accept it,
Never said I"m ready for war, but I'm protected,
I don't even know when its coming but I expect it,
Lost thoughts innocent hopes an now I'm left with
Nervous conditions, addictions, in addition
To prisons that mixed in to the wrong crowd,
My life is on a flight that going down,
My mother had an abortion for the wrong child,
With the time I felt loved, thats gone now,
Thats replaced with purples rays some storm clouds,
Misery love Misery, so why make friends lets make enemies,
An now I got a habit thats wasn't meant for me,
Now I'm in a marriage that wasn't meant to be,
One more reason to change identity,
The cars, the crime, K's, penalties.

[Chorus]

I can't help it, I Can't help it
I can't help it, I Can't help it
I, I, I, I can't help it
I, I, I, I, I can't help it
I, I, I can't help it
I, I, I, I, I can't help it
I can't help it, I, I, I, I, I can't help it
I can't help it, I, I, I, I, I can't help it
I can't help it
I can't help it
I can't help it
I can't help it
I can't help it, I, I, I, I, I can't help it
I can't help it, I, I, I, I, I can't help it
I, I, I, I, I can't help it
I, I, I, I, I can't help it
I, I, I, I, I can't help it
I can't help it, I, I, I, I, I can't help it
I can't help it, I, I, I, I, I can't help it
I, I, I, I, I can't help it
I, I, I, I, I can't help it
