Who knows this song? "the roof, the roof, the roof is on fire, we don't need no water, let the M***** F*****

Question

let the mf burn... burn mf burn!

I'm looking for the rap version, explicit lyrics. It was very popular in the 80s & 90s in the clubs. When the DJ would play it, usually, they play it until a certain point, then let the crowd sing, "BURN M***** F*****, burn"...

The version I'm looking for is NOT by:
Bloodhound Gang,
Coal Chamber,
Bizzy Bone,
Rancid,
Rock Master Scott and the Dynamic Three,
Parliament and Funkadelic or
Kid N Play.

I tried looking for the answer before asking myself. Anyone please help?!

Answer 2

I believe hypno_toad1 pretty much narrowed your answer down. The first song that came to my mind when I spotted your topic was Nelly - Hot in herre. However, I believe the "roof is on fire" bit only appears in the video.



I do not believe that anyone has listed him yet--I will go out on a limb and say Kool chris - Roof is on fire.

Answer 3

Well Rock Master Scott and the Dynamic Three were the first to do that song. It was released in 1984. So I don't know who you are looking for.
