5: 30 in the morning and I haven't been to sleepA pair of raggedly ass Prowings on my feetTen dollars in my pocket and now I'm on the creepTo the double up spot cos the shit is comin cheapIt's 1984 and the rocks is all fatSouthern California la is where it's atI'm smokin like a motherfuckin choo choo trainBig cocaine inside my brain aahBut nobody knows that I'm on the hypeUse to be in cream well now I hit the pipeFace sucked in, yellow tooth grinNo bitches, no friends, no ends to spendI'm stuck like a rat in a sticky ass trapAnd I sold everything but my motherfuckin gatI got a habit like a rabbit and I wanna stop itBut I can't cos I'm locked 'n da closetBridge:Oh make me wanna holler, right into my lifeOh make me wanna holler, right into my lifeOh make me wanna holler, right into my lifeListen homeyNo rehabilitation, no wantin to talk to...Doin crimes on every fuckin place I can walk toI still get props in the hood when I stroll byCos niggas don't know that I'm smokin like PopeyeMama's in the kitchen cookin riceDaddy's in the pen doin lifeSister gotta husband, she's a wifeAnd I'm in the backyard hittin the pipeIt's been three or four months since I started usinIt's a uphill battle and now I know I'm losinI go to the spots where my face ain't familiarAnd I cook here jack cos I don't know these niggasI'm livin like a peasant and it ain't pleasantI think I need to change my directionI got the five dollar piece now I'm all in the carpetIn the dark cos I'm locked 'n da closetChorus:Someone's knockin at the door, somebody's ringin a bellSomebody's locked n da closet, somebody's goin to hellDo me a favour, open the door and let em have itOoh yeah yeah yeah yeahOne year done passed and now I'm lookin dustyDisgusted because my own mama don't trust meMy sister's on the trip cos she knows I'm on the hitAnd I can't take this shitThere's a rumour goin round that I'm puffin heavilyAnd my neighbours is lookin at me crazy, GI guess they figured out that I broke in they houseAnd stole all they shit while they was outMy sister told my aunt and my aunt told PamAnd Pam let it slip to that bitch RoxanneRoxanne told Bill and Bill told DukeNow the whole hood knows that I play the fluteBut before I lost my respectI didda lick your dumb ass on a jet, shit!Now I'm back to life, yeah I'm back to realityAin't no side effects or technicalitiesThere's one thing about it when your life is fuckedAt the bottom the only way to go is up, aahNo more cocaine bitchesI kick the door off the motherfuckin hingesI'm out the closet *screaming*Chorus:Someone's knockin at the door, somebody's ringin a bellSomebody's locked n da closet, somebody's goin to hellDo me a favour, open the door and let em have itLet em have itSomeone's knockin at the door, somebody's ringin a bellSomebody's locked n da closet, somebody's goin to hellDo me a favour, open the door and let em have itOoh yeah yeah yeah yeah
