Raise the Roof

so you gotta second chance to take part in the dance life is being busy making other plans you understand as a young child I would dream of far off places stuck in certain traces with castles built for kings & queens a balance of spice it could make you think twice another chance at which to roll the dice you put one foot forward while the other is back Dragons through the variation of a dream with people that would scream A lonely court jester in the middle of the village square making people laugh with none the worse for wear in all of your life you need a bit of cheer now I got back to reality with my head held high to the sky still take my sugar baby down to the local bar not to far taking sweet sips on the magic potion busting loose with some lotion we get out on the dance floor for a bit of more Raise the roof in my newest suit let loose Feeling like Travolta in Saturday Night fever get my drift I get a wiff of the pipe to smoke some weed playing second fiddle while I'm being stuck in the middle like the soul brother number one I come undone looking for fun Raise the roof feeling 100% proof as a fly guy as I am you understand you can't go through life sticking it to the man been thinking of the master plan so dance to the record As if you haven't had mashed potatoes with gravy nothing a bit shady drop to your sock as I swing onto the next song like Rodney King said, "Can't we all just get along" ? Raise the roof bullet proof never to be found with my head in a noose got this loose tooth inside my head today its the walking dead got to turn back to your real first love just return to Jesus & he'll give you a big hug.
