Tear The Ceiling Off

Lyrics

Writing TEAR OFF THE ROOF [Intro – Female Singer] Yeah… Island heat, feel the vibration We don’t come here for explanation [Verse 1 – Female Singer] Barefoot stepping on the tile floor Bass shaking right through the front door Candles flicker on the balcony rail Every story here too real to fail She from Kingston, he from Portmore side Somebody outside tryna catch the vibe Rum in the cup, lime on the edge Everybody living right on the ledge Neon colors on a broken wall Somebody laughing, somebody fall But we all rise when the riddim call In this house we don’t feel small [Pre-Chorus – Female Singer] Sweat on skin like island rain Dancing hard just to feel again No rules here, no ceiling above Only the rhythm and reckless love [Chorus – Female Singer] Tear off the roof, let it fly away We don’t care what the neighbors say Heartbeat loud like a drum parade In this house where the memories play Tear off the roof, make the night ignite Hold me close in the flashing light We’re alive in the chaos truth Everybody scream—tear off the roof [Verse 2 – Female Singer] Kitchen crowded like a festival Old school speakers making it spiritual Smoke in the air but it’s not just haze It’s the past we burn in a thousand ways Couples fighting then they make up fast Love in the moment never meant to last But tonight feels like forever now In the chaos we learn somehow Shadows dancing on the ceiling spin Every loss we hide gets loud within Still we smile through the broken truth Cause we heal when we tear off the roof [Pre-Chorus – Female Singer] No tomorrow in the way we move Only heartbeat and the groove If the world outside don’t understand We still raise it with our hands [Chorus – Female Singer] Tear off the roof, let it fly away We don’t care what the neighbors say Heartbeat loud like a drum parade In this house where the memories play Tear off the roof, make the night ignite Hold me close in the flashing light We’re alive in the chaos truth Everybody scream—tear off the roof [MID-BREAK – MUSIC CUTS] (Beat drops out. Crowd noise builds…) [Male DJ] Tear the roof off! Tear the roof off! (Crowd erupts) TEAR THE ROOF OFF! TEAR THE ROOF OFF! TEAR THE ROOF OFF! (Claps, stomps, whistles rising) [Drop – Beat returns heavier] Yeah! [Verse 3 – Female Singer] Now the ceiling don’t exist no more Energy spilling out the front door Every soul in a different phase But we all one in this burning blaze Mama used to say “don’t lose control” But she never felt this kind of soul It’s not destruction, it’s release Finding freedom in the beat [Chorus – Female Singer (Final Build)] Tear off the roof, let it fly away We don’t care what the neighbors say Heartbeat loud like a drum parade In this house where the memories play Tear off the roof, make the night ignite Hold me close in the flashing light We’re alive in the chaos truth Everybody scream—tear off the roof [Outro – Female Singer] (soft chanting under fade) Tear the roof off… Tear the roof off… Island never sleep… We just breathe in the beat…
