To put this line in context, here's the whole verse:
It's like woo...pull over, baby And let me put this
love van off in your trunk, babe So buckle up
'cause this can get bumpy, babe
Girl, we gon' mess around and get a ticket, babe
This song is jammed packed with metaphors that are too damn sexy to just be called metaphors. Maybe sex-a-phors? (Maybe a good word to describe R. Kelly's entire lyric writing system?) In any case, it's a hot little scene R.'s painting for us. He's sparing no expense. You got driving stick, shifting gears, hitting corners, putting things in trunks. It is HOT. But in my pathetic innocence on the subject of hot car sex, can I ask this: What's getting a ticket a sexaphor for? And if it's not a sexaphor for anything- if R.'s just saying their sex is going to be that good that they're going to get a ticket for having it- doesn't that sound like a real way to ruin the mood? (see picture)

The genius of R. Kelly is that he can see into the future. Long before he was ever charged in his child pornography, R. was letting us know with this line that the way he gets down is not quite legal. And that he was going to get caught.
And yes. R. pretty much writes in sex-aphors.
Who has sex in cars? Think about it.
