The Raid Lyrics

    pre>
    Slow intro
    A d a e
    Where were you when the raid came? where were you when the raid came?
    A d a e d a
    Out of the window or on the floor. yeah, on the night of the raid

    A d
    I was just rolling up some real good black
    A e
    Knock on the door and the window cracked
    A d
    The ds just come to bust the fun
    A e
    Everybody scatter and run

    I was jossing with the baby in the bathroom
    Hanging out the party with the coke spoon
    Somebody yelled hey my head's on fire
    Just can't take it no higher

    Hey, dealers from the north and dealers from the south
    Joints in the noses and joints in the mouth
    But the friction in the kitchen only wanted out
    On the night of the raid

    Somebody yelled help put that thing on me
    That's one man i wouldn't want to be
    If you said now i'm going to make it sing
    On the night of the raid

    Well the boys hit the wall like bowling balls
    Questioned them all like they had no balls
    Snow hit their noses like an avalanche
    On the night on the raid

    Chorus (as inro except..)
    Where were you when the raid came?
    Where were you when the raid came?
    Out of the window or on the floor
    A
    Yeah, on the night of the raid

    Chorus repeat and fade /pre>
