this skit is off of his debut album “It’s Dark And Hell Is Hot”

as short as this skit may be it leaves much speculation as to who mickey is and what the situation may be

Mickey might be a local crackhead coming to X' doorstep asking for a hook up. X is very cautious- probably either not knowing him in general and wondering how he even knows his address OR maybe X is drugged up on medications or drugs to “help” him ease his stress and hallucinations and freaks out, shoots one of his local costumers without noticing till after.
Maybe Mickey is a hitman sent by X’s enemies to kill him (thus using an innocent and corny accent to hide his real voice*

Also, just for a bonus and laughs

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.

-Revelation 3:20
The Lord is always knocking at the door of our heart hoping to be accepted, and he hopes to change our lives if we just accept his direction… if we only stay still and listen to his voice which whispers within us all imagine the good he can do.

referring to “No Strings Attached” movie

This is also referring his relationship to the streets. He isn’t committed to that thug mentality that a lot of people his age and younger get into. To have a relationship with “no strings attached” means to not be committed to anything serious, so it’s just pleasure.

St. Benedict is a Christian saint, honored by the Anglican Church and the Catholic Church as the patron saint of Europe and students. Benedict founded twelve communities for monks at Subiaco, Italy
Benedict’s main achievement is his “Rule of Saint Benedict”, containing precepts for his monks. It is heavily influenced by the writings of John Cassian, and shows strong affinity with the Rule of the Master. But it also has a unique spirit of balance, moderation and reasonableness (ἐπιείκεια, epieikeia), and this persuaded most religious communities founded throughout the Middle Ages to adopt it. As a result, his Rule became one of the most influential religious rules in Western Christendom. For this reason, Benedict is often called the founder of western monasticism.
