SLOW INTRO
|
A D A E
|
Where were you when the raid came? Where were you when the raid came?
|
A D A E D A
|
Out of the window or on the floor. Yeah, on the night of the raid
|
|
A D
|
I was just rolling up some real good black
|
A E
|
Knock on the door and the window cracked
|
A D
|
The DS just come to bust the fun
|
A E
|
Everybody scatter and run
|
|
I was jossing with the baby in the bathroom
|
Hanging out the party with the coke spoon
|
Somebody yelled hey my head's on fire
|
Just can't take it no higher
|
|
Hey, dealers from the north and dealers from the south
|
Joints in the noses and joints in the mouth
|
But the friction in the kitchen only wanted out
|
On the night of the raid
|
|
Somebody yelled help put that thing on me
|
That's one man I wouldn't want to be
|
If you said now I'm going to make it sing
|
On the night of the raid
|
|
Well the boys hit the wall like bowling balls
|
Questioned them all like they had no balls
|
Snow hit their noses like an avalanche
|
On the night on the raid
|
|
CHORUS (as Inro except..)
|
Where were you when the raid came?
|
Where were you when the raid came?
|
Out of the window or on the floor
|
A
|
Yeah, on the night of the raid
|
|
CHORUS REPEAT AND FADE
|
