Ike’s Rap VIII

Isaac Hayes

Baby, I love you and need you
You're the best thing that's ever happened to me
Nothing and no one will ever pull me from you
Even though there's a age difference, and even though there's a difference in our social background, it still doesn't matter because what we have is so special
But now I'm seeing this special thing go up in smoke right before my eyes
Nobody could've told me that you'd become [?] like this
"Oh no, not my baby"
And now you drop this bomb on me
After all the things we've been through, the wonderful years and even the hard times, together we survived
You know me, why, why didn't you come to me when you realized you had a problem?
Now, wait a minute, you don't have a problem, 'cause you think you're slick
That's right, you think you can get away with anything, that's what that crack will tell you
Oh, yeah, I know about it
You see, I grew up in the streets, I know what that stuff can do to you
One time is too many and twice is not enough
You'll sacrifice anything to feed the need
You think I didn't notice the disappearance of that Rolex watch I gave to you last birthday?
What about that blue [?] that I gave you two Christmases ago?
You don't even deposit a check on your account anymore
Oh, by the way, you got a call from your credit union saying "No more credit, you've reached the limit!"
I can't even watch Beverly Hills Cop, the VCR's gone!
Baby, you've got to make a U-turn, can't you see what's happening to you? You've become a resident of Crack City, and the price of occupancy is way too high
In a minute, we won't have nothing! nothing, nothing
Is the pipe worth all that?
No
Now you're telling me you wanna leave me
Why didn't you trust my love for you when you realized you were in trouble? Instead, you chose to leave me because you were afraid that if I found out, I'd be so insensitive and unforgiving that you'd no longer the center of my life
You are my life, and without you, I can't live
Now I will stand by you and fight this thing with you all the way
Please, just don't leave me
Don't send all the things we've built together up in smoke
Don't, don't take my life away, I love you
