Accused Rap

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

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?

Yes, very

Is that an engagement ring?

Hehe, yes

Oh, congratulations!

Thank you!

Yeah...Well, 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 digress, I

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 heavier and heavier every day

It's about to reach the boiling point

I... 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

Let me 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 on, you know

My-my-my dad, he was a mailman, he had left us when I was about three years old

So that left my mother [?]

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, she always said "Son, do unto others as you would have them do unto you"

You know, don't rob, don't steal, don't break into anybody's homes, things like that

And you know, things that good parents try to instill in their children

Now I must admit I was no saint

I mean I have a lot of fights and, you know, I played a hooky a few times, but

I didn't commit any crimes

You know, look like I had to wait until I reach manhood to commit crime

According to the code of love, if there is such code

But you know there are some things that we have no control over

You know this little fella, Cupid

Know he can shoot his arrows so fast you can't get out of the way

And you can fall

You see, it's like being in quicksand

The more you wiggle and struggle to be free, the faster you deep and you sink

I don't mean to take up so much of your time, just bear with me for jus' 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, you know "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 [?] anybody 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
