Tall Paul
I Can't Help It
“I Can’t Help It”

[Chorus:]
I can’t help myself
I just can’t help myself
[Repeat x3]

[Verse One-(Wahwahtay Benais):]
Yo I’m bailing in my blood
Put them bullets in the pistol
Maybe that will shut them up
One love for my brothers locked
One slug all I need to make your body drop
If they think I’m just a rapper rocking naughtydas
Crowd rocker like its Mardi Gras
Loud talking showing money get ya money got
That’s on principal its hypo-cal and pitiful
To think you on a pedestal
Kick the box and make them fall
Bring you back to where you regular
Selfless with your cause
Live or die no live it all
We survivors of the holocaust
Still affected problematic when they stripped us of our lands
Fucken up the balance let me pray for restoration
Resurrect the ancients
Fuck the reservations those are concentration camps
They created for my natives
Getting cheated out of treaties
And them rations made us needy
Some elected really greedy
Laying power lines and pipelines
Dropping nickels in a bucket could affect us for a lifetime
They’re like fuck it never seeing ahead
Baby moms got swallowed and she gone off the meds
That’s reality and tragedy
Over in the matrix
And it’s sad to see insanity
Hoping I can change it
Dreamt of red rain and instead my face painted
Message from Ginaci
“Wahwah sav up and bang them”

[Chorus:]
I can’t help myself
I just can’t help myself
[Repeat x3]

[Verse Two-(Wahwahtay Benais):]
It’s no wonder I’m selective
When it comes to all my friendships
And they don’t deserve a mention
If they secretly a foe
Murder beats and murder shows
Leave the past and let it go
Look we cut from different cloth
And there ain’t no room to sow
So there ain’t no room for growth
Bully in the schoolyard
Navigating boulevards
Every time I bounced
I was mobile with “defeat them all”
Got me smudging till deceit all gone
Budging if the beef is on
Fuckin with the Phenom
Love a hater y’all mean ma
You attracted to them presents fuck a ratchet
She ain’t heaven cause that bit might be like laughing work
Wishing you could severe her
Seven years separate malevolent melodies
Beating in your eardrums
Arguments are reruns slept them with the seasons
Really trying to be something
You can quote those words
Ain’t no holdups I hold down the path I’ve forged
Never relapse and be back to 2004
Moving steadily ahead
Use to relish too much liquor
You can smell it on my breathe
Pound the drink in moderation
Whisky on the rocks you can bet that native snaking
Wake up and I’m hanging and I bet some people hate him
Those are moments that have made him
Where those words stares growth
Groves gut the arms they’ll burn down the fort
K.G.D.C.T.S.L.D.N.C.G

[Chorus:]
I can’t help myself
I just can’t help myself
[Repeat x3]

[Verse Three-(Tall Paul):]
I’m rattled by your lack of spiritual currency
Hurting me herbally verbal nerd in me
Ensuring he’s Hercules with the spit
Music medicine’s as good as it gets
My mouth as sick as one with herpes
On lips sucking on tits of
An AIDS positive chick
I lay prominent shit
I may vomit on kids like a decayed bodies in here
Provide more bars than telephones and coppers locking up wrists
Young’n with an elder mind
The 7th prophet they fear
Music’s the best medicine
It helped me find my head again
Elders telling me I wasn’t native was embarrassing
He offered wild rice
I said the taste I didn’t like
He said “What kind of native are you?”
I walked off to ride my bike
But his words sunk in
So deep within my soul
It added to the gaping hole the missionaries made grow
So be conscious of the nonsense that you promise when you speak
Cause it might infect a mind
And contradict what you believe
That which you preach
Or what you teach your kids to multiply
Maybe a king remembered in time
Like multi til the sun die
No need to lie about the way I choose to live my life
No super Indian in me
And I think that’s alright
Maintain an open mind though
Keep on a high note
Even when I mispronounce my tongue like saying “gyro”
And I’m not ashamed to consider hip-hop a culture either
Yeah it puts me on a pedestal
Like Nas in Ether

[Chorus:]
I can’t help myself
I just can’t help myself
[Repeat x3]
