The song โLaundromatโ is about a woman who is tired of her man lying and cheating on her, and decides to leave him. The first verse has Nivea calling R.Kelly out on his lies, telling him she knows all about the other women heโs been seeing. Despite R.Kellyโs attempts to convince her to stay, Nivea decides to go to the laundromat and clean their dirty clothes, including the โfood stains,โ โdirt spots,โ and โdirty draws.โ
The second verse has R.Kelly apologizing to Nivea for his behavior, but she is fed up with his lies and says goodbye. R.Kelly then becomes desperate and begs her not to leave him, but Nivea stands her ground and tells him she is done with his lies and cheating. The song ends with an extended chorus, with Nivea declaring that she is finally cleaning up her house and heading to the laundromat.

@Khairi Khan Okay few points here...
-1st: idk who tf "Ya'll" are supposed to be. Not all women chase After those types! (Maybe just the women YOU were chasing that didn't want YOU that got u Butt-hurt Af) But I'll speak for ME individually I have Never dealt with or tolerated a "pookie/ray-ray/man-man/future" or other stereotypical bum ass ignorant hood dude. Never been my type, EVER! Sry I've alway been attracted to Individuality & Intellect Also Not begging ANYONE to MARRY me or save me from bad Decisions bc I Don't Have any baby daddies or kids period! (...Or for another man to care for) How many Kids & Baby mamas do YOU have sir???
-2nd: I call them how i see them. I never said Nick wasn't Attractive or didn't have Groupies (bc he Did) he's been an Entertainer & making money since his early teen/tween years. He was still CORNY! he was Corny af on Nickelodeon & after that too. But he grew up & glowed up (like most ppl SHOULD do & now he's on his Grown-man) he even admitted it himself...
-3rd: Just like there are lame/corny/nerdy girls Ya'll males grew up with & ignored trying to chase Fast girls aka "Big Booty Keishas" (that were probably Out of your league Anyway!) Now ya'll same dudes wanna complain & be butt-hurt ya whole life because u got rejected as a kid! Now u wanna talk down on the SAME chicks ya'll were so desperate & thirty for.... FOH with the Bullsh*t!
-And final thought: just bc you have money or a measurable amount of success doesn't make up for BAD CHARACTER! And holding on to past childhood/teenage hurt is Sad & Wack Af for Any so-called grown man that's supposedly "doing sooooo well & living his best life" ...riiiiiiight. Whatever ya'll have to tell Yourself. Stay BITTER & BROKEN Sir!
That's All.
@tebogonkoana6926
That's nothing else but the truth, so I'm also gonna be ๐ฏ straight up about R Kelly's music. All those hits sorry I'mma still listen to them, why the played a huge part in my journey of growing. Parting with the music of kellz would mean me losing my memories good or bad.
And truth is it won't happen, I'mma die still pumping all hit kellz catalog. Sorry if you disagree, I'm only being real.
Remember this is the R in Rnb we talking about here, thank you...
God plz protect me and all kellz fans and kellz himself.
Amen ๐
