What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Testing, one, two, testing, one, two
2
The house is now on fire, spread the walls y'all
3
Everybody get somebody
4
We don't want anybody let fuck nobody
5
'Cause you know what time it is
6
It's time to get busy
7
And when it's time to get busy
8
You know what you gotta do
9
You gotta, raise the roof because it's all on fire
10
Not done by the sun or electrical wire
11
Not done by sons strikin' matches with daughters
12
But done by scratches so save that water
13
This jam is packed so I just figure
14
All we need is the house to get bigger
15
So startin' with the roof down to the base
16
We're at your service to burn the place
17
Come on, come on
18
Come on, raise the roof
19
That's right, raise the roof
20
Come on
21
With the spot as hot as it can get
22
An' the roof's on fire, you're soaked and wet
23
The puzzle on your face shows as you sweat
24
But your body keeps movin' with no regrets
25
Chandeliers shake, swing from front to back
26
Left to right all night and the lights don't crack
27
Your mind's on the time hopin' it don't end
28
'Cause it's time to get stupid, here we go again
29
Come on, come on
30
Come on raise the roof
31
Come on, raise the roof y'all
32
Come on
33
Stare at the Strope, pull your earlobe
34
For the sights and sounds clear across the globe
35
This jam might hit or miss the charts
36
But the style gets wild as state of the art
37
Dazzling in science, bold in nerve
38
But givin' my house what it deserves
39
Served on the floor 'cause I get payed
40
Make the fans that left, wished they had'a stayed
41
Realize my friend, ain't this a trip
42
As your body gets railed when you do the flip
43
And your mind gets rocked when we're on the roll
44
Then the freak of the week makes you lose control
45
A Swatch for a watch, so you'll know the time
46
Your crowd gets loud and you clock my rhyme
47
The Messiah's on fire and I'm living proof
48
I'll quench your desire and raise your roof
49
Come on, come on raise the roof
50
Come on, raise the roof
51
Come on
52
In school I'm cool throughout the week
53
When the weekend comes, I'm down with the Greeks
54
Frat brothers known across the seven seas
55
Fly ladies of the 80's, sororities
56
The Zetas, Deltas, AKA's
57
Women that keep me in a daze
58
The A-Phi-A - Sigma boys on the move
59
With the Kappas and the Ques and of course the groove
60
And for real it's the deal and the actual fact
61
Takes a nation of millions to hold me back
62
Rejected and accepted as a communist
63
Claimin' fame to my name as a terrorist
64
Makin' money in corners that you'll never see
65
Dodgin' judges and the lawyers and the third degree
66
Nothin' wrong with a song to make the strong survive
67
Realize gave me five 'cause I kept 'em alive
68
Mislead what you read about my devilish deeds
69
Mislead what I said so you're better off dead
70
Make 'em hear it and see it for the deaf and blind
71
And command it and we'll plan it for incapable minds
72
Take for granted and demand it from the wave of my hand
73
Make the jealous understand it and just say damn
74
When they see me ask a question how the hell can it be?
75
When they watch me pull a serpent straight out of the sea
76
Turn the winter into summer, then from hot to cold
77
Expand my power on the hour, make you all behold
78
From the slammer swing a hammer like the mighty Thor
79
God of thunder, you'll go under, then you'll all applaud
80
And fathom that distance, that the mad must reap
81
Meet Namor, sea lord, 'Prince Of The Deep'
82
Here for you to fear at any cost
83
Tellin' you to get busy or you better get lost
84
Livin' lives civilized from the lessons I taught
85
Cities buried underground just because I went off
86
My friends, enemies, better be my friend
87
Is the question people guessin' is this the end?
88
End of the world, are you guessin' yes?
89
Just say and don't delay it, get it off your chest
90
Houses of crack, I've seen too much
91
I go ready, aim, fire, then I'll blow 'em up
