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 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 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
