Testing - one - two
|
Testing - one - two
|
The house is now on fire
|
Spread the walls ya'll
|
Everybody get somebody we don't want anybody let fuck nobody
|
Cause you know what time it is
|
It's time to get busy
|
And when it's time to get busy
|
You know what you gotta do
|
|
You gotta
|
Raise the roof because it's all on fire
|
Not done by the sun or electrical wire
|
Not done by sons stricking matches with daughters
|
But done by scratches so save that water
|
This jam is packed so I just figure
|
All we need is the house to get bigger
|
So startin' with the roof down to the base
|
We're at your service to burn the place
|
|
Come on
|
Come on
|
Come on Raise the roof
|
That's right
|
Raise the roof
|
Come on
|
|
With the spot as hot as it can get
|
An' the roof's on fire - you're soaked and wet
|
The puzzle on your face shows as you sweat
|
But your body keeps movin' with no regrets
|
Chandeliers shake, swing from front to back
|
Left to right all night - and the lights don't crack
|
Your minds on the time - hopin' it don't end
|
Cause it's time to get stupid - here we go again
|
|
Come on
|
Come on
|
Come on raise the roof
|
Come on
|
Raise the roof ya'll
|
Come on
|
|
Stare at the strope - pull your earlobe
|
For the sights and sounds clear across the globe
|
This jam might hit or miss the charts
|
But the style gets wild as state of the art
|
Dazzling in science - bold in nerve
|
But givin' my house what it deserves
|
Served on the floor cause I get payed
|
Make the fans that left, wished they had'a stayed
|
Realize my friend - ain't this a trip
|
As your body gets railed when you do the flip
|
And your mind gets rocked when we're on the roll
|
Then the freak of the week makes you lose control
|
A Swatch for a watch - so you'll know the time
|
Your crowd gets loud and you clock my rhyme
|
The messiah's on fire and I'm living proof
|
I'll quench your desire and raise your roof
|
|
Come on
|
Come on raise the roof
|
Come on
|
Raise the roof
|
Come on
|
|
In school I'm cool throughout the week
|
When the weekend comes - I'm down with the Greeks
|
Frat brothers known across the seven seas
|
Fly ladies of the 80's - sororities
|
The Zetas, Deltas, AKA's
|
Women that keep me in a daze
|
The A-Phi-A - Sigma boys on the move
|
With the Kappas and the Ques and of course the groove
|
And for real it's the deal and the actual fact
|
Takes a nation of millions to hold me back
|
Rejected and accepted as a communist
|
Claimin' fame to my name as a terrorist
|
Makin' money in corners that you'll never see
|
Dodgin' judges and the lawyers and the third degree
|
Nothin' wrong with a song to make the strong survive
|
Realize gave me five cause I kept 'em alive
|
Mislead what you read about my devilish deeds
|
Mislead what I said so you're better off dead
|
Make 'em hear it and see it for the deaf and blind
|
And command it and we'll plan it for incapable minds
|
Take for granted and demand it from the wave of my hand
|
Make the jealous understand it and just say damn
|
When they see me ask a question - "How the hell can it be?"
|
When they watch me pull a serpent straight out of the sea
|
Turn the winter into summer - then from hot to cold
|
Expand my power on the hour - make you all behold
|
From the slammer swing a hammer like the mighty Thor
|
God of thunder, you'll go under - then you'll all applaud
|
And fathom that distance, that the mad must reap
|
Meet Namor sea lord - Prince of the deep
|
Here for you to fear at any cost
|
Tellin you to get busy or you better get lost
|
Livin' lives civilized from the lessons I taught
|
Cities buried underground just because I went off
|
My friends, enemies - better be my friend
|
Is the question people guessin' is this the end?
|
End of the world - are you guessin' yes?
|
Just say and don't delay it - get it off your chest
|
Houses of crack - I've seen too much
|
I go ready - aim - fire - then I'll blow 'em up
|
