Chapter 3
R. Kelly Lyrics

Well, here we are the four of us,
We are gathered here; me, her, and the two men, and I am surprised at what I see.

In total shock me and her,
Myself and her are both in complete disbelief at the situation.

I close my mouth, and swallow spit,
I am taken aback and unable to speak, but try to maintain my composure by doing something habitual like swallowing.

As I'm thinking to myself this is some deep shit,
I realize that this situation is really serious and complicated, and I am concerned about what is to come.

Then I said so your gonna tell me he's the one You've been talking to,
I am incredulous that Rufus is the one she has been having an affair with, and I ask for confirmation.

He says yes, I says no, he says yes, I says no, He says it's the truth,
There is disagreement between Rufus and I, but he insists that it is true.

I yell "all of y'all asses crazy, Let me up out this door", cause this is way More than I bargained for,
I become frustrated and exclaim that everyone is crazy, and I want to leave because this is much more than I anticipated.

And then she says wait, I'm sure we can all fix this, then I said I'm late,
She tries to calm me down and suggests that we can handle the situation, but I reject the idea and pretend to have other responsibilities.

Cause I ain't got a damn thing to do with this
I do not want to get involved in this situation at all.

Then she said wouldn't you like to know Just how it all begin,
She asks if I am curious and want to know how it started.

Then I thought to myself and said quick you got 3 minutes,
I give myself a deadline to remain in control and composed.

Then it got real quite, I said somebody start talkin', then she said And then she said "my god rufus, I got just one question,
There is a sudden change in the atmosphere, and I urge someone to speak up. Then she poses a question to Rufus.

How could you do something like this I"m so hurt?"
She expresses her hurt and disbelief that Rufus could do such a thing.

He looked at her and said bitch please you got Yo nerve, with all yo club hoppin' Lying sayin' you was shoppin',
Rufus tries to deflect the blame onto her, claiming that she was lying and cheating as well by going out clubbing and lying about shopping.

And now here you are in Our home, and you calling Me wrong, she said ok you busted me, And that much I agree,
She admits to cheating, but she does not agree that Rufus is less wrong because he brought the person he was having an affair with to their home.

You caught me cheating, But this is a little extreme, He said you are my wife, Sleeping behind my back,
She acknowledges that she was caught, but she believes that bringing someone home and hiding them in the closet is taking it too far. Rufus reminds her that she is his wife and was sleeping with someone else.

And now I come home and you got him in the closet, How extreme is that?
He highlights the extreme nature of her actions, reminding her that she brought her lover home and hid him in the closet in their house.

She says but she's a he, Then he says please you can't judge me,
She reveals that her lover is actually a transgender person, but Rufus insists that she should not judge him for his actions.

She says Rufus this is crazy, And I said stop arguing,
She finds the situation to be absurd, and I urge them to stop arguing.

I did not stay here to hear y'all chew Each other out, so get to the point, Or I swear I'm out, excuse me please,
I make it clear that I did not come here to witness them fighting, and unless they come to a conclusion, I will leave. I then ask for permission to interject.

But I think I can explain what's going in Here, my name is chuck, and I've been Knowin' Rufus for bout a year,
I offer to explain the situation by introducing myself and stating that I have known Rufus for a year.

At midnight creeping around with him it's been a living hell, Sneaking in and out of hotels,
I reveal that I have been sneaking around with Rufus and that it has been a terrible experience, involving creeping around at midnight and sneaking in and out of hotels.

I said brother spare me The details, then Rufus said chuck please, Don't say nothin' else, then she screams Rufus You son of a bitch,
I ask Rufus to spare me the details of their affair, but he asks me to stop talking. She then screams at Rufus.

And he says Kathy go to hell, I said I thought you name was mary, That's what you said at the party, Man this is getting scary,
Rufus insults her, calling her by the wrong name. I am getting scared because the situation is becoming more intense.

I'm gonna shoot somebody
I become frustrated and threaten to shoot someone.

Then Rufus starts yellin' and screaming Saying cathy this is all yo fault, She throws a pillow at him And says you was creepin' too the only difference Is you didn't get caught,
Rufus blames Cathy for the situation, and she throws a pillow at him and accuses him of cheating as well, the only difference being that he was not caught.

Chuck screams out we're in love Cathy says love my ass Rufus say they gettin' married
Chuck argues that he and Rufus are in love, but Cathy dismisses this. Rufus insists that he and Chuck are getting married.

Then I shoot one in the air, Then I say not another one of You sons of bitches say a word, Cause all of this shit I'm going through Is unheard,
I shoot a gun in the air to make them stop talking. I tell them not to speak anymore because I cannot handle the situation anymore.

Grab my cellular, Sayin' this is so wrong, Call up my home, And a man picks up the phone
I take out my cell phone, realizing how wrong the situation is. I call my home, and a man answers the phone indicating that something is wrong or strange.
