Trapped In The Closet (Chapter 15)

(album: Trapped In The Closet: Chapters 13–22 - 2007)

"Well, well, well
If it ain't Laverne and Shirley."
Tina says, "Hey, Twan." Twan says
"Bitch, don't 'Hey, Twan' me."
Sylvester says, "Calm down, T." He says, "Fuck that
I just did three years for these hos."
Roxanne says, "Who you calling a ho?!" He says, "You, bitch!"
She lost control and said, "Motherfucker, I'll kill yo ass!"

"Stop." "What?!" ("Wait a minute.") "Come on!!"
"With a skillet?" ("Let's talk about it.") "Damned right!"
"Bitch, I--" ("Before some-motherfuckin'-body gets hurt.") "Jump, nigga!"
"Man--" "You better tell 'em" ("T, stop--") "Fuck that!"
"Wait a minute!
Nigga, think about it!"
"Three years!"
"Three years; this time'll be worse!
Now come here."

Sylvester takes Twan to the side
Tina tells Roxanne to calm down
Then Sylvester says to Twan
"Look...Now, I know you mad
But before you go around here making threats
Nigga, let's not forget the fact that you're out
But you're still on house arrest."

Then Twan says, "Cool, man. I just wanna ask them
Some questions about what happened."
Sylvester said, "I feel you, but calm yo ass down
Or nigga, you going back in."
Twan says, "I got you." "House arrest!"
"I got you, I got you." "T
Chill..."
Then Twan walks over to them and says

"How you doing, ladies?
Tina, Roxanne, please excuse me
I mean, where's my manners?
'Cause, uh, that was very rude of me."
"Twan--" "Naw, I admit
The way I came up in here, man, it was kinda wild
But that ain't shit compared to the way things gonna go ("Twan--")
If these bitches don't tell me what went down!"

("Yeah, nigga!") "T, motherfucker, slow your roll!
Calm down, nigga; stop this shit!" ("Come on!")
"Sylvester, fuck that! All because of these bitches
My ass got set up on a three-year bid!" ("Come on, motherfucker!")
"What you gonna do, nigga, kill these bitches?!" "Yeah!"
"And then what?! Then what?!
Life, nigga!
They'll lock yo ass up and throw away the key."

Then Twan starts thinking about it
While Tina and Roxanne's watching him
And I say, "Man, forget about it." He says, "No."
I say, "Well, let me talk to them."
He say, "They slick-ass, man, you can't trust 'em."
"Nigga, it ain't about me trusting them
It's about you trusting me right now."

"Nigga, what's wrong with you? Are you crazy?
You forgot I did five years in the pen myself
Now, I'm telling you, I'm not going back for you
These bitches, or no-motherfuckin'-body else
So let me talk to 'em
I got this."
Sylvester takes out his gun and shows it to the ladies
Walks up to 'em and says

"Now, ladies."
He takes the cigarette out of Roxanne's ear
And says, "Ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies."
He walks over to the counter and sits down
He puts the gun on the counter, goes into his pocket
And pull a cigarette lighter out
And then he lights the cigarette
Blows smoke, and then says

"Now, ladies, it's very obvious
That we have a problem here
A lot of questions unanswered
Let's answer them so we can get out of here
Mm
Safe, that is."
He flicks the ashes and says, "OK
Which one of y'all gonna start talking first?"

Then Tina start crying, saying
"It was supposed to be a simple operation."
And Roxanne said, "If we delivered
Muscle Man here said it would be a vacation."
Twan says, "Man, I'll show you a vacation; ("Twan--")
I'll send y'all ass straight to the motherfucking moon!"
"Twan! What did I tell you?
Ladies, continue."

Then Roxanne said
"On the way to Atlanta, everything was going smooth
Up until Twan start smoking trees
And acting like a fool. ("What are you doin'?")
And that's real. He got the radio loud
Bumping Mary Jane, just swerving and shit."
"Did you tell him to stop?" "Yeah, I told him to stop, ("Stop!")
But he just kept yelling out to me, "Nah, I'm Rick James, bitch!"

Sylvester looks at Twan
Twan says, "Man, I was drunk!"
Sylvester said, "Drunk?!
You was drunk?!" Twan says
"Man, I don't know; I was just trying to have a little fun."
"With a whole lot of heat in the trunk?!
Man, I'm disgusted
Nigga, no wonder yo ass got busted."

Then Twan says, "Man, whose side
Are you on anyway?! Theirs?!"
Then Sylvester said, "Well, let's see: Reckless endangerment
Loud music with drugs in the trunk? Nigga, yeah!"
Twan say, "Man, this some bullshit!"
Roxanne says, "Can I finish?!"
"Please," Sylvester says
She says, "Well, to make a long story short--"

Tina says, "Roxanne
Girl, let me explain
See, Twan was kinda acting wild
And calling us all loud names
Then Roxanne starts cursing and screaming
Meanwhile I'm in the backseat
And all I know is I looked behind me
I said, 'Oh, shit! Here comes the police!'"

Roxanne said, "Next thing you know, Twan started speeding
Yelling out, 'They ain't gonna stop us!'"
Tina says, "A few minutes later, here come these squad cars
And a fucking helicopter."
Sylvester said, "Did he stop then?"
Tina says, "No."
Roxanne says, "But luckily, that raggedy-ass car he was driving
Stopped on us, or we'd be who knows."

Then Roxanne says, "Anyway, here we are
The three fucking Stooges laid out in the dirt
Now they putting us in the back of the car, Twan yelling out
'Whatever y'all do, don't say a fucking word!'
And now we at the police station
They got us separated off up in these rooms
Yelling all in our ears, saying
'Yo man try and say these drugs belonged to you.'

And I'm like, 'What the fuck?!' They say
'Sister, yo light is looking kinda dim.'
I looked up at Tina and said
'Girl, I'm not going down, not for him!'
So there you have it, Twan
I gave you up; it was me
Tina, she protected you." Twan said, "Protected me for what?!"
Tina said, "'Cause at the time, I was pregnant by you, T..."
