[Intro: Raekwon sample]
"Guess who's the Black Trump"
{*repeated in background during entire song*}
[Intro: Steele & Raekwon]
I had to get some real professionals for the job, son
Numerous cats Word up
That's right Official niggas – word up
This is what you call "leke leke" Straight blazin' through, what!
Raise the roof is what we came to do Like hash browns
Blazin' through, blazin' through
Pass that African black gold over here
Raise the roof is what we came to do
Blazin' through, blazin' through
You know how we rock
Raise the roof is what we came to do
Smif-N-Wess and Lex set up shop
[Verse 1: Steele]
Attack mode, time to strike like a cobra
Poisonous venom into your system, killin' you slower
Than niggas with blowers to your jugular
My brother's keeper
But I'd put my brother to sleep, if my brother try to creep up
You know my, son, show respect when I'm rockin' the podium
Steam-rollin' on niggas, my team straight blowin' em
Got 'em throwin' they gunz in the air like Onyx
Chef and Smif-N-Wessun crime shit, New York's finest
[Verse 2: Raekwon]
Let me warn y'all killas upstairs
I seen all y'all, heavy like fuck, thinkin' my niggas might floor y'all
Blow ya ammo, Shallah, see the god, fly commando
Handle, gun on my leg, blow his hand off
I'm lookin at you wild, like "Fuck, you probably think I'm high"
Seems luck, chain around my neck, bought it from E-gypt
Me what? Hennessy drink, mahogany guns, we trees'ed up
Come out your shirt, buckle knees up
This Casablanca rap, nigga, throw some cheese up
Let's poli', slow-mo status, bring the keys up
Wonderin', runners is lookin mighty freezed up
Write stupid, FBI cell, appease us
[Verse 3: Tek]
Make this money, niggas hold up guns
Armed full of licks, plus your dick, drop your ones
Baby need new shoes and a outfit
I see you stick-up kids, you came wit' the dick lick
You see my set of twin hitmen from Bushwick?
Two chicks with the .22 TECs, bitch
You heard about 'em
Now open up the circle, so the dice can breathe
Pay you double, if you triple, if you push you pay me
[Hook: Tek, Steele & Raekwon]
Gotta poli' wit ya' crew to stack ya loot up
Get your weight up, big up, pull ya boots up
If you step into the club wit' ya guns up
If the tension's on your mind, then raise the roof up
You gotta keep it in the fam, stack ya loot up
Get your weight up, big up, pull ya boots up
When you step into the club wit' ya guns up
If the tension's on your mind, then raise the roof up
Raise the roof up, raise the roof up
Never fall, we came to raise the roof up (Right...)
Raise the roof up, raise the roof up (Right...)
Still in all, we came to raise the roof up (Microphone politicians)
[Interlude: Raekwon, Steele & Tek]
Minolta flash
Gun in the stash
Rollin for mo' hash
Tek, why you slap fire out 'em? Hold fast
These niggas gotta pay the hard way
Three the hard way
Allah swingin' on em like a San Diego Padre
[Verse 4: Steele]
You heard what the God say, let's start this
Professional marksman
Swimmin' like killer sharks, we lethal and heartless
On point like a dart, bitch
Bomb your camp if you want this
Connect wit' convicts on some Don shit
[Verse 5: Tek]
Respect the camouflage cats that get the money in Stat
Go to war like Saddam if he pushed to do that
Keep his movements discrete when he out in the streets
Had the stash built to hide heat for those who creep
[Verse 6: Steele]
Ha, peep the ghetto bastards
Run in your crib like two masked men
I run wit a Tek, and we ain't askin', we blastin' (What?)
Chef brought the extra cannon from Staten
Rhyme official, live broadcastin', makin' it happen
[Verse 7: Tek]
You gotta make power moves
Black guns, and cash rules
Hold my eight straight, 'cause I been payin dues
Wave king from way back, tryin' to see a mill' stack
Miami money cats that leave you layin' down flat
[Hook: Tek, Steele & Raekwon]
Gotta poli' wit' ya crew to stack ya loot up (Loot up)
Get your weight up, big up, pull ya boots up
When you layin' in the cut wit' ya guns tucked
If the tension's on your mind then raise the roof up
You gotta keep it in the fam, stack ya loot up (Loot up)
Get your weight up, big up, pull ya boots up
When you layin' in the cut wit the guns tucked
If the tension's on your mind, then raise the roof up
Raise the roof up, raise the roof up (What)
Never fall, we came to raise the roof up
Raise the roof up, raise the roof up
Still in all, we came to raise the roof up
[Outro: Raekwon]
It's on again
Word up, put your hands down
Word up, this shit is multi–
Y'all finna see it, word up
Smif, Wess, Lex
Another project – for the projects; next!
(The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire...)
(We don't need no water, let the Cocoa B's burn)
(You gotta poli' wit your crew to stack ya loot up)
(Get ya weight up, big up, pull ya boots up)
(When you step into the club wit' the guns up)
(If the tension's on your mind, then raise the roof up)
