[Hook: Mercedes Martinez, Dice Raw & Both]

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

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, I can't help it


[Verse 1: Malik B]

Live with it, that's how I survive with it

Talk jive with it, you take a dive with it

Connive with it, depart and arrive with it

Harsh thrive, that's why it's part I with it

I did it, make rhymes in five minutes

Mind of a dentist, crimes of a menace

Press rewind, see what you find in my image

Take you niggas back to the line of the scrimmage

'Riq, you know we pull a freak with the flow

Talk's cheap, that's why we speak with the dough

Ill technique show I'm sleek with the flow

It's cold outside, nigga sleep with the snow

I tweak in the low tone, freak with the ozone

I can't help hiding my secrets that's so known

I only do what I got to 'cause it's possible

And climbin' over whatever's known as an obstacle

[Hook: Mercedes Martinez, Dice Raw & Both]

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

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, I can't help it


[Verse 2: Black Thought]

Ugh, I can't help it, maybe I'm selfish

Maybe the way I'm runnin' is becomin' a health risk

All I can see is smoke through tortoise-shell Cazal 650's

I'm feelin' like I'm makin' a sales pitch

My head already so heavy, it's makin' the scales tip

I got my own pressure and got everyone else's

I'm rehabilitated, still feelin' rebellious

Candidate of heart failure, more pills then Elvis

In a layer cake, half-chocolate, half-velvet

I'm listenin' to some Harold Melvin

I got too many options, there's so many toxins

Yo, ain't no really tellin' what we killin' ourselves with

I lit a cigarette and inhaled it

I'm thinkin' of some rhymes more iller than a threatening ailment

I'm on some bomb-threat-in-the-mail shit

Because of all the things I dealt with, nigga, I can't help it

[Hook: Mercedes Martinez, Dice Raw & Both]

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

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, I can't help it


[Verse 3: Greg 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 it's coming, but I expect it

Lost all semblance of hope, so now, I'm left with—

Nervous conditions, addictions

In addition to vixens that mixed in with the wrong crowd

My life is on a flight that's goin' down

My mother had an abortion for the wrong child

Well, the time I felt love, that's gone now

Been replaced by purple rains and some storm clouds

Misery love misery

So why make friends? Let's make some enemies

And now, I got a habit that wasn't meant for me

Now, I'm in a marriage that wasn't meant to be

One more reason to change identity

The cause, the crime, K's, penalties

[Hook: Mercedes Martinez, Dice Raw & Both]

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

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, I can't help it

[Outro: Mercedes Martinez & Dice Raw]

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

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

I, I can't help it

I, I, I can't help it

I, I can't help it

I, I, I can't help it

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

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

I, I can't help it

I, I can't help it

I can't help it

I can't help, I-I can't help it

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

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

I can't help it

I can't help it

I, I, I can't help it

I, I, I can't help it

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

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

I, I can't help it

I, I, I can't help it

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