Govs tells a narrative between him and a former love interest, or ex-girlfriend. He uses the symbol of the girl’s “house” to represent the girl’s life, and “basement” to represent the girl’s heart, or personal life. Govs entered the girls life, unaware that she would betray him, or “knock him out”....
[Verse 1]
I walked into the basement of your house
You never told me that the door wouldn't let me out
See, I will not call [?] scream and shout
By the time I'm done with you, you can lock me out
[Interlude]
[Verse 2]
So I turned on all the lights in her house
I never knew she was behind me, gonna knock me out
See, I wore this tie and I tore those streets that night
What are you hiding by the TV?
Oh, when you are awake
I know you're sendin' me away
To a lonely island, a desolate place
But if I had my time again
I wouldn't have asked you to let me in, no
