And now, I'm like
Well, well, well
What the fuck is this
A condom in my bed
Ya better start talking, bitch
'Fore I burn this mutherfucker down
I said you better start talking
Start talking right goddamn now
Then she said baby
I'm so speechless
Then I said my baby
You gone be breathless
If ya don't start talking quick
Woman, I'm gone have a fit
You don't know what ya fuckin wit
Girl ya better cut the bull shit
Now its obvious somebody has been all up in my home
In my bed, and plus I smell cigarettes
Now and sniffin and lookin around
Suspicious like someone's here
Then I looked in her eyes and in her eyes
There was so much fear
Pull out my gun said is he still here
She shook her head and said naw
I'm checkin behind every door
She cried out he left right after you called
I said what the fuck was you thinking
You thought that I wouldnt find this out
Then I said you must be crazy or on crack to have somebody off up in my motherfucking house
She hopped up and said thats enough
She said I cant take no more
And then she said you made your point
But now its time to even the score
She said I know all about last night
And where you went when you left the club
Said that's right, nigga I was there
Wit this guy in the back of the club
I said I thought you was wit yo girls
She said I thought you was wit yo guys
She said you was at that bitches house
And don't even try to act surprised
Said bab, she said shut up
Don't you say a word
It ain't nothing you can say
That I ain't already heard
Then I said woman, don't you try to turn it all around
Cause the fact still remains that someone else was in my house
Then she said you're right about that
Something did go down, but I don't have to turn it around
Cause what goes around comes back around
I'm moving a little closer to her
She's tripping over the furniture
She said wait first, just let me explain
I said no need to, just give me his name
And then she said
I say uh what
She said please sit down in a chair
And I say no, I'm standing up
And she cries out I'm so scared to tell you because of what ya might do
And I screamed look girl you better give me this man's name and I'm not playing with you
She says okay, wipes her nose and asks me about a girl named Tina
I thought to myself, said it sound familiar
I said I probably know her if I seen her
Then I say anyway girl, what the hell does that got to do with this man
She said he know my girl Roxanne
I said who the hell is Roxanne
Then she says Roxanne's a friend of mine who know with this guy named Chuck
Chuck's cool wit this guy name Rufus
And I'm sitting here like what the fuck
Then she says Rufus wife, Cathy
We both went to high school




She introduced me to
The policeman that stopped you

Overall Meaning

In R. Kelly's song Trapped in the Closet Chapter 5, the singer discovers a condom in his bed and confronts his girlfriend with anger and suspicion. He threatens to burn down the house if she doesn't tell him the truth and accuses her of cheating on him. She admits to being with another man at the back of the club and reveals that the police officer who stopped him was introduced to her by a friend named Cathy. The song demonstrates the jealousy, betrayal, and insecurity that can arise in romantic relationships.


The lyrics reveal several important themes about relationships, including trust, honesty, and communication. The singer's reaction to finding the condom suggests that he has been hurt in the past and has a deep fear of being betrayed again. He becomes violent and aggressive, which only worsens the situation. His girlfriend, on the other hand, appears to be remorseful and afraid, but also defensive and unwilling to reveal the whole truth. The song suggests that relationships require patience, understanding, and empathy to overcome their challenges.
