monologue: ike's rap i

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"
