| [00:00.58] | Testing - one - two |
| [00:01.75] | Testing - one - two |
| [00:02.88] | The house is now on fire |
| [00:05.07] | Spread the walls ya'll |
| [00:06.87] | Everybody get somebody we don't want anybody let fuck nobody |
| [00:09.62] | Cause you know what time it is |
| [00:12.81] | It's time to get busy |
| [00:14.12] | And when it's time to get busy |
| [00:16.08] | You know what you gotta do |
| [00:17.51] | You gotta |
| [00:20.76] | Raise the roof because it's all on fire |
| [00:23.01] | Not done by the sun or electrical wire |
| [00:25.13] | Not done by sons stricking matches with daughters |
| [00:27.81] | But done by scratches so save that water |
| [00:30.99] | This jam is packed so I just figure |
| [00:33.24] | All we need is the house to get bigger |
| [00:36.23] | So startin' with the roof down to the base |
| [00:38.67] | We're at your service to burn the place |
| [00:41.47] | Come on |
| [00:41.91] | Come on |
| [00:43.41] | Come on Raise the roof |
| [00:46.91] | That's right |
| [00:53.64] | Raise the roof |
| [00:54.64] | Come on |
| [00:56.70] | With the spot as hot as it can get |
| [01:04.94] | An' the roof's on fire - you're soaked and wet |
| [01:07.68] | The puzzle on your face shows as you sweat |
| [01:10.18] | But your body keeps movin' with no regrets |
| [01:12.67] | Chandeliers shake, swing from front to back |
| [01:15.49] | Left to right all night - and the lights don't crack |
| [01:18.41] | Your minds on the time - hopin' it don't end |
| [01:20.74] | Cause it's time to get stupid - here we go again |
| [01:23.55] | Come on |
| [01:24.06] | Come on |
| [01:25.23] | Come on raise the roof |
| [01:29.23] | Come on |
| [01:33.54] | Raise the roof ya'll |
| [01:36.15] | Come on |
| [01:44.64] | Stare at the strope - pull your earlobe |
| [01:47.01] | For the sights and sounds clear across the globe |
| [01:49.39] | This jam might hit or miss the charts |
| [01:51.07] | But the style gets wild as state of the art |
| [01:54.63] | Dazzling in science - bold in nerve |
| [01:57.31] | But givin' my house what it deserves |
| [01:59.43] | Served on the floor cause I get payed |
| [02:02.37] | Make the fans that left, wished they had'a stayed |
| [02:05.05] | Realize my friend - ain't this a trip |
| [02:07.55] | As your body gets railed when you do the flip |
| [02:10.29] | And your mind gets rocked when we're on the roll |
| [02:12.91] | Then the freak of the week makes you lose control |
| [02:15.53] | A Swatch for a watch - so you'll know the time |
| [02:18.53] | Your crowd gets loud and you clock my rhyme |
| [02:20.96] | The messiah's on fire and I'm living proof |
| [02:22.83] | I'll quench your desire and raise your roof |
| [02:26.32] | Come on |
| [02:27.13] | Come on raise the roof |
| [02:31.65] | Come on |
| [02:33.14] | Raise the roof |
| [02:38.69] | Come on |
| [02:39.74] | |
| [02:49.10] | In school I'm cool throughout the week |
| [03:31.68] | When the weekend comes - I'm down with the Greeks |
| [03:34.16] | Frat brothers known across the seven seas |
| [03:36.48] | Fly ladies of the 80's - sororities |
| [03:39.47] | The Zetas, Deltas, AKA's |
| [03:40.97] | Women that keep me in a daze |
| [03:44.59] | The A-Phi-A - Sigma boys on the move |
| [03:47.46] | With the Kappas and the Ques and of course the groove |
| [03:50.27] | And for real it's the deal and the actual fact |
| [03:52.51] | Takes a nation of millions to hold me back |
| [03:54.89] | Rejected and accepted as a communist |
| [03:56.99] | Claimin' fame to my name as a terrorist |
| [04:00.23] | Makin' money in corners that you'll never see |
| [04:02.61] | Dodgin' judges and the lawyers and the third degree |
| [04:05.47] | Nothin' wrong with a song to make the strong survive |
| [04:07.79] | Realize gave me five cause I kept 'em alive |
| [04:10.71] | Mislead what you read about my devilish deeds |
| [04:13.09] | Mislead what I said so you're better off dead |
| [04:15.46] | Make 'em hear it and see it for the deaf and blind |
| [04:18.77] | And command it and we'll plan it for incapable minds |
| [04:21.20] | Take for granted and demand it from the wave of my hand |
| [04:23.88] | Make the jealous understand it and just say damn |
| [04:26.12] | When they see me ask a question - ＂How the hell can it be?＂ |
| [04:29.87] | When they watch me pull a serpent straight out of the sea |
| [04:32.12] | Turn the winter into summer - then from hot to cold |
| [04:34.30] | Expand my power on the hour - make you all behold |
| [04:36.80] | From the slammer swing a hammer like the mighty Thor |
| [04:38.92] | God of thunder, you'll go under - then you'll all applaud |
| [04:42.23] | And fathom that distance, that the mad must reap |
| [04:44.72] | Meet Namor sea lord - Prince of the deep |
| [04:46.79] | Here for you to fear at any cost |
| [04:49.91] | Tellin you to get busy or you better get lost |
| [04:52.65] | Livin' lives civilized from the lessons I taught |
| [04:54.83] | Cities buried underground just because I went off |
| [04:57.20] | My friends, enemies - better be my friend |
| [05:00.39] | Is the question people guessin' is this the end? |
| [05:02.54] | End of the world - are you guessin' yes? |
| [05:05.23] | Just say and don't delay it - get it off your chest |
| [05:08.35] | Houses of crack - I've seen too much |
| [05:10.09] | I go ready - aim - fire - then I'll blow 'em up |
| [00:00.58] | Testing one two |
| [00:01.75] | Testing one two |
