R. Kelly Lyrics

Now he's staring at me like
As if he was staring in the mirror
She yells honey let me explain
He says you don't have to go no further
I can clearly see what's going on
Behind my back, in my bed, in my home
Then I said wait a minute now hold on
I said Mister we can work this out
She said honey don't lose control
Tried to get him to calm down
He says ho I should've known
That you would go and do some bogus shit up in my house
But the christian in me gave you the benefit of the doubt
I said we need to resolve this
And he stepped to me
I'm like whoa
There's a reason I'm in this closet
He says yeah what are you talking ?clothes?
I met this girl at the Pajis club
And she told me she didn't have a man
Then he said man please I'd kill you
If you didn't have that gun in your hand
And then I said but your chick chose me
He said don't give me that mack shit please
His phone goes off and then
Things get a little more interesting
He steps a little closer
I point my gun and say I'm not the one you're after
He says it's not my bet you didn't know my man
Did she tell you I was a pastor?
I said well good that's better right
Why can't we handle this Christian like
And I started to put the gun down
Til I saw his face still had a frown
She started crying saying baby I'm sorry
Then he said baby not as sorry as you're gonna be
I started inching out
He says no I want you to see this
Said I gotta get out this house
He said not til I reveal my secret
I'm like what is going on inside his head
Then he takes his phone and calls somebody up and says
Hello?
(Hello?)
Baby?
(Yeah)
Turn the car around
(What's going on? What's wrong?)
I just need for you to get right back here now
Click

He looks at me and says
Well, since we're all coming out the closet
I'm not about to be the only one broken hearted
She said what do you mean?
He said just wait and see
I said somebody better talk to me
And then his phone rings
He picks up
And somebody says sweetheart I'm downstairs
And he's like I'll buzz you up
I'm on the fifth floor hurry take the stairs
And I'm like who is this mystery lady that you're talking to
He says in time you both will know the shocking truth
Baby this is something I've been wanting to get off my chest for a long, long time
Then I said I'm gon shoot you both if you don't say what's on your mind
He says wait I hear somebody coming up the stairs
And I'm looking at the door
He says I think you better sit down in a chair
I said I'm going to count to four
One
He says mister wait
Two
She says please don't shoot
Three
He says don't shoot me
Four
She screams
Then a knock at the door
The gun's in my hand
He opens the door




I'll be god fucked up like shit fuck it a man comin' to fuck me up and give me head fuck
He opens the door, I can't believe it's a man

You gotta give Rufus a lot of credit for being held at gunpoint and asking the gunman to stay just so he can announce he's gay.

I bet all kinds of things are being hid in his closet now. And he fucking deserves it. I don't care how Disturbed or psychologically fucked up he is the things that he has done to people is not okay and he'll be lucky if he sees society again as an old man. 30 years when you're in your 40s is a long goddamn time.
