Accused Rap

Isaac Hayes

Yeah
Uh, excuse me, excuse me
Are you talking to me?
Uh, yes, can I have a word with you for a few minutes
Mm, okay
Come on, have a seat, sit down, make yourself comfortable
Uh-uh, thanks
How long have we known each other
Uh about ten months I guess
Yeah, you and, uh, John are really tight aren't you
I-I-Is that an engagement ring?
Hehe, yes
Oh, congratulations!
Thank you!
Yeah
Well, he-he slipped it on your finger last night
Mhm, yes
John should know that he's the luckiest man in the world
He should be real proud to have someone like you
Well, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to [?]
I know you wanna rewind on why I speak with you
Um, it's-it's something that's been bugging me for 5 months
And I've been carrying this thing around
And it's getting me heavier and heavier every day
It's about a recent [?], I've gotta-I've gotta get it off my chest
And I'm not tryna be fresh or anything like that
Don't get me wrong, I know you're John's girl but
I've got to tell you this
I'll give you a little background
See, I was born and raised in the ghetto
Came from a rather small family
We-we weren't rich of course
We didn't get a [?]
My-my-my dad, he left us when I was about three years old
So that left my mother as a [?] family
She was a God-fearing woman, she
She took us to church every Sunday
You know I sang in the choir with the Sunday School
And my mom always said
"Son, do unto others as others do unto you"
You know, don't rob, don't steal
Don't break into anybody's homes
Things aren't [?]
Things are good parents trying to [?] their children
Now I have to admit I wasn't no saint
I got into fights and you know, I played hookie a few times
I didn't commit crimes, you know, like I had to get to manhood to commit crimes
According to the law, if there is such [?]
But you know there are some things we have no such control over
You know this little fella, Cupid
You know he can shoot his arrows so fast you can't get out of the way
You can fall
You see, it's like being in quicksand
You can wiggle and struggle to be free, the faster you go deeper and sink
I don't mean to take up so much of your time, just bear with me for a little while longer
You see I'm not very good with words so try to be patient
I know there's a lot of talk around that "Isaac's tryna knock John's girl off"
And, hm, what can I say
I don't mean to be a love thief, I-I
I've never known anybody like you
I've never felt [?] like I do you
I don't think he can love you more than I do
Nobody could, you're so special
So special
And I face the world with my feelings for you
And I don't back down from my conviction
'Cause right now
