R. Kelly's Closet 2-4

Hot damn, Part 2 is madly on the money. While I won't ruin the surprise, lets say Kells really puts a new spin on the situation (lyrics below so shut your eyes if you don't want to see). But then what went wrong? Despite some truly fantastic "Man this is getting scary, I’m gonna shoot somebody" moments, I'm a little disappointed by Chapter 3 as it feels like Kelly kinda drops the ball, so to speak. In a strange twist of weirdness the Part 4 I've heard, which is similarly not-so-good, has different lyrics to the ones I found on some site - and they are totally crazy, way better than the version I've heard. Has Kell's put out a fake 4 to throw bootleggers off the scent? If so where did the lyrics come from? Are there two versions floating about? Anyone with answers, holla at me cos I need to know. Anyway, unless the conclusion matches up to the madness and content of the opening two parts, I feel this 'ghetto archers' could have taken much further, which is a pity especially as it was such an amazing, if not utterly odd, concept. So near, yet, so far. That said, knowing the R, Part 5 will be totally nuts and I'll be eating my hat. If I had one. Well, obviously I have one, but not for 'regular basis' fare. I'll shut up now.

Trapped In The Closet - Chapter 2 of 5

Well 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”
I tried to get him to calm down
He said “oh I should have 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 bodja 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 after”
He says “something I bet you didn’t know my man… Did she tell you that 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 until 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”
He said “I gotta get out this house, and not ‘til I reveal this secret”
I'm like “what is going on inside his head?”
Then he takes his phone and calls someone up himself
“Hello” (hello?)
“Baby?” (aha)
“Turn the car around” (what’s going on over there?)
“Listen, I just need for you to get right back here now”
He looks at me and says “well since we’re all coming out the closet
I'm not about to be the only one that’s 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 5th floor hurry take the stairs”
And I'm like “who is this mystery lady that you’re talking to?”
And 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”
And I said “nigga I'm gonna shoot you both if you don’t say what’s on your mind”
He said “wait I hear somebody coming up the stairs”
And I'm looking at the door
He says “I think you better sit down in the chair”
I said “I'm gonna count to 4”
“1…”
he says “mister wait!”
“2…”
he says “please don’t shoot”
“3…”
"he says “don’t shoot me”
“4…”
She screams
Then a knock on the door
The gun’s in my hand
He opens the door
I’ll be goddammned it’s a man
(man… man… man…)

Trapped In The Closet - Chapter 3 of 5

Well here we are the 4 of us in total shock
Me and her, I close my mouth, swallow spit
Cause I’m thinking to myself this is some deep s***
Then I said So you gonna tell me he’s the one you been talking to
He says yes, I says no, He says yes, I says no, He says it’s the truth
I yell all of yall are all crazy let me up out this door
Because this is way more than I bargain for
And then she says wait I’m sure we can all fix this
And then I said I’m late cause I aint got a damn thing to do with this
And then she said but wouldn’t you like to know just how it all began
Then I thought to myself and said, quick you got 3 minutes
And then it got real quiet, I said somebody start talking
Then she said my God Rufus, I’ve got just one question
How could you do something like this I’m so hurt
And he looked at her and said b**** please you got your nerve
With all your club hoppin, lying saying you were shopping
And now here you are in our home, and you’re calling me wrong
She said okay you busted me, and that much I agree
You caught me cheating, but this is a little extreme
He said you are my wife sleepin behind my back
And now I come home and you got him in the closet, how extreme is that?
She says but she’s a he, then he said please you can’t judge me
She says Rufus this is crazy then I said stop arguing
I did not stay here to hear yall chew each other out
So get to the point or I swear I’m out
Excuse me please but I think I can explain what’s going on in here
My name is Chuck and I’ve been knowing Rufus bout a year
And err night creeping around with him has been a living hell
Sneaking in and out of hotels, I said brother spare me the details
Then Rufus said Chuck please don’t say nothing else
And then she screams Rufus you son of a b****
And he says Cathy go to hell
I said I thought your name was Mary, that’s what you said at the party
Man this is getting scary, I’m gonna shoot somebody
The Rufus starts yelling and screaming saying Cathy this is all your fault
She throws a pillow at him and says you was creepin too
The only difference is you didn’t get caught
Chuck screamed out we’re in love, Cathy says love my @$$
Rufus said they getting married, then I shoot on in the air
Then I say not another one of you son’s of bitches say word
Cause all of this shit I’m going through is unheard
Grabbed my cellular, saying this is so wrong
Called up my home and a man picks up the phone
