(Got it on Smash)

Yeah, ay, ay
I've been fuckin' up, now what you think I need some help for?
Need to stop relyin' on you, do it for myself more
Layin' out a bunch of traps and you know that I fell for 'em
I won't fall again, shawty, I won't stall again
I been dropped, ay, takin' phone call up in the Benz
I got weak, but, yeah, lil' bitch, I'm on it once again
Can you help me? Please don't stall a nigga in the end
'Cause when it comes down, you gon' need me once again

Ooh, girl, I love you so
I told myself not to love these hoes
Told myself not to love these bitches
Got my head in the clouds where the sky is the limit
I've been thinkin' 'bout you, you ain't been thinkin' 'bout me
You only want every Abraham Lincoln on me
You got a nigga at home, he don't be thinkin' like me
That nigga think he like me, you need to check his ID (yeah, ay, ay)

I've been fuckin' up, now what you think I need some help for? (Yeah)
Need to stop relyin' on you, do it for myself more
Layin' out a bunch of traps and you know that I fell for 'em
I won't fall again, shawty, I won't stall again
I been dropped, ay, takin' phone call up in the Benz
I got weak, but, yeah, lil' bitch, I'm on it once again
Can you help me? Please don't stall a nigga in the end
when it comes down, you gon' need me once again

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Real love, I'm tired of hearin' real love
Make my ear drums real numb, everything happens for a reason
Everything that didn't happen, didn't happen for a reason
Bitches yappin' for no reason, just so happens I'm the reason
Got me tryna find a reason, to find a reason
Got me tryna reason with my demons
I ain't rappin', I'm releasin', real love, yeah (ay)

I've been fuckin' up, now what you think I need some help for?
Need to stop relyin' on you, do it for myself more (woo, real love)
Layin' out a bunch of traps and you know that I fell for 'em (ay)
I won't fall again, shawty, I won't stall again
I been dropped, ay, takin' phone call up in the Benz
I got weak, but, yeah, lil' bitch, I'm on it once again
Can you help me? Please don't stall a nigga in the end (yeah)
when it comes down, you gon' need me once again (yeah)

Yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah)

Overall Meaning

In "Can't Help but Wait," Lil Wayne and Trey Songz explore the complex emotions of a man who is in love with a woman who is currently in a relationship with someone else. The singer is sympathetic to the woman's position, acknowledging that her current partner is not treating her well and causing her pain. He desperately wants to step in and treat her better, but he feels conflicted because he does not want to come between her and her man. Despite his reservations, he cannot help but wait for her to see the truth about her partner and realize that she deserves better.


The lyrics reflect the frustration and heartache of someone who is stuck in a difficult situation, where he knows that he could make someone else happy but cannot act on his feelings due to a sense of loyalty and respect for boundaries. The repetition of the chorus, "Can't help but wait," emphasizes the helplessness of the singer's situation, as he waits for the woman to come to her own realization about her partner and their relationship.


Overall, "Can't Help but Wait" is a poignant exploration of the complexities of love and relationships, as well as the importance of respecting others' boundaries and decisions.
