“Raise the Roof” off of Public Enemy’s _Yo! Bum Rush the Show_ has the lines

> [@](#):

> From the slammer swing a hammer like the mighty Thor  
> God of thunder, you’ll go under - then you’ll all applaud  
> And fathom that distance, that the mad must reap  
> Meet Namor sea lord - Prince of the deep
