Signing to Island Records through Haqq Islam's University Records imprint, the group released two successful albums, Dru Hill and Enter the Dru, before separating for a period from late 1999 to 2002, during which time Sisqó and Woody released solo albums. While Woody's Soul Music LP was a moderate success in the gospel music industry, Sisqó's debut album, Unleash the Dragon, and its hit singles, "Thong Song" and "Incomplete", were major pop successes, and established Sisqó as a household name outside Dru Hill. Sisqó's second album, Return of Dragon, did not sell as well.
In 2002, by then part of the Def Soul record label, the group reunited and added fifth member Rufus "Scola" Waller to the lineup for their third album, Dru World Order, whose underperformance led to the group being dropped from Def Soul. In 2009, the group signed to Kedar Entertainment Group and released their fourth album, InDRUpendence Day, the following year, with new member Tao taking the place of the again departed Woody.
Can't Stop
Dru Hill Lyrics

Blue berry in my grape blunt,
You're the sweat in my wet towel,
You're my pillow when i lays down.
You are my geni and my alize,
You are my drunk back in the day,
You still are in a major way, thats why i never seem to get away
I can't stop drinking, i can't stop smoking,
So i go LA LA LA LA LA LA
LA LA LA LA LA LA.
I can't stop drinking i can't stop smoking,
So i go LA LA LA LA LA LA
LA LA LA LA LA LA
I knew this girl named choclita,
My boy Angelo said she make me high,
I left from the land, off in the sky,
Five feet from the ground, so i think ill take a try.
Now she got me all red eye,
Keep me stressed out but she know i always gettting by.
Keep a couple dimes so she know im always getting by,
Keep her lips shut with that LA LA LA LA LA LA.
You're the geni in my red cup,
Blue berry in my grape blunt,
You're the sweat in my wet towel,
You're my pillow when i lays down.
You are my geni and my alize,
You are my drunk back in the day,
You still are in a major way, thats why i never seem to get away
(chours)
I can't stop drinking, i can't stop smoking,
So i go LA LA LA LA LA LA
LA LA LA LA LA LA.
I can't stop drinking i can't stop smoking,
So i go LA LA LA LA LA LA
LA LA LA LA LA LA
I know a girl named genisis,
She's so good to me,
Her kisses always taste so sweet.
So i had to lace her with rocks,
I should have known then that it wasn't going to stop.
Sometimes she keeps it straight for me,
Double in her cup though, the way she mix it up for me.
With some regolu or XO,
I never know my limit i cant let go.
You're the geni in my red cup,
Blue berry in my grape blunt,
You're the sweat in my wet towel,
You're my pillow when i lays down.
You are my geni and my alize,
You are my drunk back in the day,
You still are in a major way, thats why i never seem to get away
(chours)
I can't stop drinking, i can't stop smoking,
So i go LA LA LA LA LA LA
LA LA LA LA LA LA.
I can't stop drinking i can't stop smoking,
So i go LA LA LA LA LA LA
LA LA LA LA LA LA
We all adults in here,
So i feel like i can share something that im goin through.
I need AAA and they
Never when they say yea things are quick but ima be more like a fein.
Bag you up like a gram of dro, Amsterdam i kinda need you yo,
Philly blunts, now im ready for the real, like district teatment, i got a lot of time to solve my problem.
(chours)
I can't stop drinking, i can't stop smoking,
So i go LA LA LA LA LA LA
LA LA LA LA LA LA.
I can't stop drinking i can't stop smoking,
So i go LA LA LA LA LA LA
LA LA LA LA LA LA
(twice)
OH YEA!
The song "Can't Stop" by Dru Hill talks about the struggles of the lead singer with substance abuse. In the first verse, he talks about the different types of alcohol and drugs that he consumes, such as "red cup" with "geni" (gin) and "alize," "grape blunt" with "blue berry" and "choclita" (chocolate), and "wet towel" sweat while he is high. He expresses his dependency on these substances by saying that he can't get away from them, and he keeps going "LA LA LA" to drown out his thoughts.
In the second verse, he talks about another girl named Genisis, who he describes as being "good to him" and always providing him with something to smoke or drink. He admits that he should have known it wasn't going to stop when he started lacing her with rocks (presumably cocaine). He still struggles with his addiction and can't let go, and he uses substances to cope with his problems.
Overall, the song sheds light on the difficult struggles of addiction, and how hard it can be to break the cycle. The constant mention of different substances and their effects shows how much influence they have over his life, and the repetition of "LA LA LA" shows how he can't escape his thoughts and problems.
