Testing, one, two, testing, one, two

The house is now on fire, spread the walls y'all

Everybody get somebody

We don't want anybody let *** 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 strikin' 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 mind's 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 y'all

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
