let me in
House M.D. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Chorus]
Let me in the door
You keep sayin' you hear me knockin'
What you standin' there for?
Who I gotta kill or sleep with?
Cause I'm the worlds best secret
Let me in the door
You keep sayin' you hear me knockin'
What you standin' there for?
Cause I'm the one that do that music you feel
But you still review this
Let me in the door

Right now before my goons have to tear it town
We don't wait in line and we don't stand around
We at Club Zen and drinkin', actin' brand new
Actin' like he never seen my face and I ain't got loot
They know I'm Cash Image and I'm with Tech N9ne
And before the club close, The owner gon' respect mine
Spend a lot of money and that's the bottom line
Ten cars on chrome, Plus the neck shine
Baggy jeans on and J's with a lot of bucks
And you ain't gotta know me
You could tell my dollars' up
Poppin' collars in the club, turnin' bottles up
And all the models in the club wanna follow us
It's Mr. Chevy Man, You hear my song playin'
And every time we in the club
We be spending grand's
First deny Tech then deny me
And I was number one on 103 for forty weeks

[Chorus]

You say you hear me knockin'
So why you don't wanna let me in?
But I ain't buggin', So tell the cops to come and get me then
Complain about my shoes, ain't really talkin' 'bout shit
Dude, I spent like three hundred and fifty on this outfit
NV ain't gon' let me in, zen actin' funny with me
What it's gon' cost me, homie?
I brought a little money with me
I don't wear tight shirts, my pants kinda baggy
KC hat tilted, so now they wanna red flag me
I'm by the bar every time, point blank, Period
The door man hatin', takin' his job too serious
Me, Cash Image, Tech and Kaliko about big business
So what I'm talkin to a bouncer for?
The woman see me, Scream my name like announcers, bro
They actin' brand new this week
So I'm about to go to the block and bubble and get plenty cake
I just wanted woman and I don't like this club anyway
So fuck y'all!

[Chorus]

I get money from music, Kinda like to spend-spend
When I hit the town, I know they gonna let me ends in
But these other clubs be trippin' like I begin sin
You hear me knockin'? (Oh yeah)
Well let me in then
Cause NV ain't so friendly
They got a gay assembly of femmes
Who think the blacks be packin' Semi's
(That's why they don't sell no Henny)
Stink butts who think bucks
But they don't know my bank account is like a Brinks truck
Could buy it any day
Two poin one on a new building and lease 'em and the N9ne has plenty say
The rhyme, it give me pay
So I resign cause NV gay
And plus NV stands for no vagina's anyway
That place, Me and Lil' Weezy-Wee get no love
That's why when I brought Chingy in there
He peed in your club, not in the toilet either
You don't enjoy the beaver
You'd rather plot on how to get below your boy, The Peter
America's Club and Fase 2, I erase you
My pants are too baggy even though I'm clean and I'm paid too
Orlando South's racist, they treated me cold
And Lucky Strike and Power & Light won't let the N9ne in to bowl
Whoa, guess my Dickies the wrong clothes
Play my music but won't let me and my homies through the doors
Over a million records sold, Lot's of money to fold
They should let me in any club in KC, MO!
And I'm the biggest tipper, bartenders know me well
And waitress's love me, so club owners go to hell!
You got that blow to sell but you want this bro to fail
But it really ain't me 'cause it is your destiny to go to jail
And when you're though servin
You might see work on Club N9ne
When you walk up, you might be hurt
You might skeet-skirt cause you ain't gettin' in
If you ain't got KC hat and a white t-shirt, aye!





[Chorus]

@@jeremiahscott2032 I think it's more that they've known him for so long they've kind of grown tired and/or used to his antics.

Even they don't really seem to get him at times because of this.

The episode where he finds out about Wilson not fighting and his eventually blurting out how often he thought of killing himself and that life is pain is a pretty clear sign they knew him so well it looped back around into not knowing him at all.

Makes sense. You're much more critical with people you have no knowledge of. Which at the end of the day is rather silly because it's those you think you know who will screw you over the hardest and surprise you the most.

(This is why the vast majority of crimes are not perpetrated against you by strangers. Strangers are the people you don't give a chance to do so most of the time. It's trust and familiarity that leads to bad judgement calls and danger.)

CAMERON:
32-year-old male with chronic pain all over.

HOUSE:
This is the favour? I was expecting something involving whipped cream and tongue depressors.

CAMERON:
He’s seen 7 different specialists over 3 years. No diagnosis and no relief.

HOUSE:
Oooh! I am fascinated already. It’s like I’m treating myself. He gets cured and I get to learn a valuable lesson about the milk of human kindness.

CAMERON:
If I thought you learned lessons, I never would’ve quit.

HOUSE:
So, you’re wasting a favour because….

CAMERON:
I think you can help this guy.

Nice to see security has improve since House got shot.

@dpgol88

LoL

@mairisberzins8677

funny thing is i saw that moment and thought, wait I'm not watching that episode...

@BorikeTheBlackDragon

Tbf, that guy probably checked in at the front desk or Cuddy first.

@Colt0311

Wait house got shot?

@carboncompounds9377

Was house's theory correct?

@user-em6ie2be7x

As much Vicodin House takes you'd think his team wouldn't question him on The Pain Killer theory.

@richardhobbs7360

TBF, his theory relies on the injury already being healed, Houses injury is very clearly NOT healed

@standingalone001

Vicodin contains too much acetaminophen which is toxic to the liver. A doctor as smart as House would be taking oxycontin.

@kevinwaag9976

he did get better after he went to rehab and therapy
