Trapped In The Closet (Chapter 7)

(album: Trapped In The Closet: Chapters 1-12 - 2005)

There's total silence, blood everywhere
And confusion on their faces as they continue to stare
Then Gwen starts shaking and crying screaming, "What did you do?"
And then the policeman looks at me and screams, "See, now I warned you."
Then he starts pacing the floor screaming, "God, what have we done here?!"
And she rushed to to door, blood on her hands screaming, "There goes your whole career."
Meanwhile, I'm freaking out saying, "We gotta do something and gotta do something quick."
Then he picks up the gun and says, "I have a wife at home, I can't have no parts of this"
She says, "James, I can't believe you just said what you said
'Cause that's not what you said when your ass was in my bed"
Then I said, "Get married later, but right now we gotta use our heads
First of all, did anybody think to check if the man was alive or dead?"
Then he looks at her, she looks at me, I look at them and we look at him
Meanwhile, Gwen's about to have a nervous breakdown the way she's shaking and crying
And then she screams, "You bastards! You've killed my brother"
And then I said, "Gwen, wait a minute, I didn't..."
She says, "No, you killed my brother"
She said, "He just got out of prison. He's been through a lot
He was talking about changing his life and everything and to come home and get shot"
Then I said "Baby, it wasn't my fault. This man had a gun on me
And besides, how was I to know that you was getting down with this crooked ass police"
And he says, "Wait a minute..." I say "No, you wait a minute!"
And then I say, "Man, this is my wife. We had a life until you butted up in it"
She cried out "Sylvester, now hold on. Even though he was in our home
Let's not forget the fact that you was out there creeping in another man's home"

'Twan starts coughing
She says, "'Twan! Oh my God! Baby brother, are you okay?"
He looks up at her and says, "I'm not gonna die, at least not today."
And then he asks, "What happened?" and says, "Why did I get shot?
Sylvester what is this policeman doing here?"
And I said "Go on, tell him cop"
He says, "Son, we gotta get you to a hospital and take a look at that wound"
'Twan says, "No, I'm okay. It's just my shoulder. All I need is a bathroom"
Now five minutes has gone by and they telling 'Twan everything that happened
'Twan says, "Shit, man, I would've been better off in prison"
And now somebody's banging at the door and I'm like, "Oh no! Here we go again!"
Thinking out loud to myself saying, "When is this shit gonna end?!"
Then Gwendolyn looks at me and says "Baby, you got that?" And I say "No!"
She says, "Why?" And I said, "Because I'm not opening up another motherfucking door!"
And the cop says, "Gwen, I'll get it." Then looks at me and says, "Man of the house, my ass!"
Then I say, "I'll get it, but whoever it is, I'm about to put their ass on blast!"
And then the policeman grabbed me I snatched away and got my gun up off the floor
Then 'Twan says, "Man, that's what I'm talking about! Sylvester, point that shit toward the door!"
Then he snatches the policeman's gun and says "Officer, arrest me later."
I count to three, 'Twan opened the door and it's Rose The Nosy neighbor
Ooh, with a spatula in her hand
Like that's gon' do something against them guns
It's Rosy The Nosy...whoo!...Neighbor
