Monologue: Ike’s Rap I

Isaac Hayes

[Verse]
Hi, I'm sorry I'm late
It was my night to take inventory
Mm, it's chilly out here
Oh, what's wrong, you're crying!
Oh, your folks been on your back again, huh?
Man, that stuff is getting ridiculous
What was it this time?
Well they heard it, you're with me again, huh?
Man, why don't they leave us alone?
Wow, they've, cut off your allowance too, huh?
Well I can't tell you to stop crying because
I know you're hurt, I know it's hard for them to understand that
Two people like us can love each other
They seem to forget, once upon a time, they we're young
And they had to fall in love, too
Well, come on, stop crying now
There's something else I've got to tell you, and uh
I got my greetings the other day
Well I got my papers from Uncle Sam
And I went down, you know
They only got to go about, another two weeks
But like, wherever I go
Always remember that I love you
And, there will be no one else but you
And I'll be back, someway I'll be back
And like, I don't have any doubt about you being true to me
'Cause like right now seeing is like the whole world
Is against us, so like, try to study
You know, keep your grades, you know, together
And like, come on now, don't cry
You know, people like us always seem to have it hard
You know, "I'm not good enough for you"
And "They don't understand"
But we're not the only ones going through changes
Right there, people all over the world
Being denied and discriminated, you know?
It's always messed up situations
Socially, racially, you know
But, whenever things get extremely bad
Always remember, that I love you
And I will be back
And please, follow people like us
That go through changes like this
These words in the song, is for you
And it's like this
