Can’t Stop

[Instrumental]

[Intro]
(I can’t, stop!)

[Verse 1]
Here's the situation
You wanna front on the Friday night
You have nothing to do
So your friend says let’s get high
You say “alright ”
So down to the nearest crack spot you hop
Sing to each other, “we’re bugging,” yet you still don’t stop
You pay your money, then you get your [?]
I mean high
Then you cram it down the stem of a pipe
And tell reality goodbye, yeah
That's what happens when you take your first hit
Your personality splits
It takes a turn for the worse
Smoking that shit ain’t nothing but a curse
Cuz you started at eight, it’s now six in the morning
You didn’t even know the Saturday was forming
You couldn’t even cease to eat, sleep, piss
Or move your bowels
But you had your lips on that pipe
For ten straight hours
Why don’t you throw in a towel?
Your friend snapped out of it and broke out
But you kept spending your money like water out the spout
Uh oh
But here comes the drought

[Bridge]
And what do you do (huh)
You sold your chain and smoke that up
You sold your watch and smoke that up
You sold your shirt and smoke that up
You sold your pants and smoke that up
You sold your shoes and smoke that up
You even sold your butt and smoke that up
Huh ho, oh boy

[Verse 2]
You sold out everything that was yours
Except your underwear, they didn’t take drawers
Oh what a shame
Now who’s to blame?
You just got caught up in that crack and pipe game
It seems to me that your sport is zero
Don’t you know?
Didn’t you hear the slogan ?
Just say no
But tell me, just for the record: why you smoking that deadly rock ?
(I- I can’t, stop!)

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Scene two:
Here's a story about Lulu
She's a kleptomaniac
And I think if she was a terrorist
She’d hijack
Just for the sake of taking
She was like, makin’
Four or five thou’ a day
Just by way of stealing on the sneak tip
This girl was bugged, I mean a real trip
She would steal the most expensive
I’ll admit some of the stuff she took was dope
And oh, don’t let her in ya house
Cuz she go to the bathroom and steal your soap
She’d steal anything
From one extreme to another
This girl was a thieving motherf-
Well you get the picture
Or maybe you didn’t cuz she probably took it
I asked a girl friend, huh
Why you so crooked, hm
She said
When I was a little girl I wanted a dog
And my mother said I couldn't get it
So I opened my mouth and screamed and hollered
And my mother hid it
Since that day I told myself I’d always have it my way
So that's what I take when I want when I need to
When I want to
Do you understand?
Do I get through?
I’ve been through special program
Had interludes with men that had millions
I’ve even took a whole year out to shop and shop, then shop
But I’ve lifted things for so long that

[Outro]
(I can’t, I- I- can’t
I can’t stop!
I can’t stop!)
