5:30 in the morning and I haven't been to sleep
A pair of raggedly $$# ProWings on my feet
Ten dollars in my pocket and now I'm on the creep

to the double-up spot cos the %#@! is comin cheap
It's 1984 and the rocks is all fat
Southern California, LA is where it's at

I'm smokin like a mother$#&@in choo-choo train
Big cocaine inside my brain, aah
But nobody knows that I'm on the hype

Use to be in CREAM, well now I hit the pipe
Face sucked in, yellow tooth grin
No (*##$es, no friends, no ins to spend

I'm stuck like a rat in a sticky $$# trap
and I sold everything but my mother$#&@in gat
I got a habit like a rabbit and I wanna stop it

but I can't cos I'm locked 'n da closet

Bridge:


Oh make me wanna holler, right into my life
Oh make me wanna holler, right into my life

Oh make me wanna holler, right into my life
Listen homey


No rehabilitation, no wantin to talk to...
Doin crimes on every $#&@in place I can walk to
I still get props in the hood when I stroll by

Cos ^!$$%s don't know that I'm smokin like Popeye
Mama's in the kitchen cookin rice
Daddy's in the pen doin life

Sister gotta husband, she's a wife
And I'm in the backyard hittin the pipe
It's been three or four months since I started usin

It's a uphill battle and now I know I'm losin
I go to the spots where my face ain't familiar
and I cook here jack cos I don't know these ^!$$%s

I'm livin like a peasant and it ain't pleasant
I think I need to change my direction
I got the five dollar piece now I'm all in the carpet

in the dark cos I'm locked 'n da closet

Chorus:


Someone's knockin at the door, somebody's ringin a bell
Somebody's locked n da closet, somebody's goin to hell

Do me a favour, open the door and let em have it
Ooh yeah yeah yeah yeah


One year done passed and now I'm lookin dusty
Disgusted because my own mama don't trust me
My sister's on the trip cos she knows I'm on the hit

And I can't take this %#@!
There's a rumour goin round that I'm puffin heavily
and my neighbours is lookin at me crazy, G

I guess they figured out that I broke in they house
and stole all they %#@! while they was out
My sister told my aunt and my aunt told Pam

and Pam let it slip to that (*##$ Roxanne
Roxanne told Bill and Bill told Duke
Now the whole hood knows that I play the flute

But before I lost my respect
I didda lick your dumb $$# on a jet, !#@(!
Now I'm back to life, yeah I'm back to reality

Ain't no side effects or technicalities
There's one thing about it when your life is $#&@ed
At the bottom the only way to go is up, aah

No more cocaine (*##$es
I kick the door off the mother$#&@in hinges
I'm out the closet *screaming*


Chorus:


Someone's knockin at the door, somebody's ringin a bell
Somebody's locked n da closet, somebody's goin to hell
Do me a favour, open the door and let em have it

let em have it

Someone's knockin at the door, somebody's ringin a bell
Somebody's locked n da closet, somebody's goin to hell
Do me a favour, open the door and let em have it

Ooh yeah yeah yeah yeah
