We The MOB!

lyrics

[Hook] (x4)
Mind Over Body, Mind, Mind Over Body
We The MOB

[Verse 1 – Ink The Urban Myth]


Everybody wanna be a real nigga
Don’t nobody wanna feel that pain
Everybody wanna step up in that lane
Ain’t nobody got enough gas in their tank
In my city way too many straight goin Hussein
Tryna hang
New guys might betray they own gang
Levitate over lakes
I can see all the snakes
Only way to stay free from the greed is to leave
In the belly of the beast generating my chi
Living famine or feast till I make it front street
You won’t ever be criticized by a real king
You will never be villainized by ya real friends
When you at peace you ain’t guilty till you innocent
Boss or a leader real ones know the difference
Every time we hated on God gimme better shit
Never had a role model had to Helen Keller shit
A hater couldn’t catch my vibe
A hater can’t test my tribe
Swallow my drip, might die
Look at my face I’m tired
Look at my eyes on wired
Look at my life that’s triumph
Running till I see Zion
Break it down by the ion
Take back the kingdom that’s the time I’m on

[Hook] (x4)
Mind Over Body, Mind, Mind Over Body
We The MOB


[Verse 2 – Phoenix Pagliacci]

I ain’t one to step to a Hotep
That’s a different death
Look ‘em dead in their third eye
That’s a different threat
Though I walk through the valley, they know
That’s a different text
In the gym with the Jim Crowe
That’s a different flex
Whether black, white, or red
That’s a different neck
And I stick it out for melanin
That’s no disrespect
But the bodies and minds of mine
That’s what I protect
Laundry bag full of colored’s, yeah
That’s what you neglect
Separate us from the whites
Don’t let us bleed on ‘em
Crooked system want to fight
They won’t let us lean on ‘em
Red lights out the blue
‘Cause they got that green on ‘em
But you eatin’ out our hands
Why they let us feed on ‘em
We dance, joke and ball
Hold alter call
Sing, rap or run
Act, hold a gun
No matter what it is, we gotta be reminded
That no matter your past, you can never get behind it
Bad man then, bad man now
When we try to man up, then it’s man down
I don’t understand how we don’t have a plan now
Bodies on my mind and my heart is in your hands now
Say it loud
Mind, Mind, Mind, Mind, Mind, Mind

[Hook] (x4)
Mind Over Body, Mind, Mind Over Body
We The MOB

[Verse 3 - Deqwi]

There’s a war going on inside
Ain’t nobody got time
Ain’t nobody read signs
Everybody follow suit
You ain’t even got ties
Do you really want the truth
Can you stomach these lies
In the belly of the beast
What you eat traumatized
What you breathe pesticide
Wanna depopulate
Put a screen in ya face and a chip in ya wrist drip lab birthing infants
Universal crimes
Illusions at an all-time high
All time Eye try and keep my 3rd eye wide
Drink agua check in with my spiritual guide close chakras
They coming at a king from all sides
Say less
I don’t stress the wickedness
Mindful next to godliness
Staying bless Jah
You BMF on EMF
Reconnect to Ethernet
And Mother Nature
Energy never gon die
Trap my body can’t free my mind no
Enemies can’t survive
Lock and load
Intuition my ammo
Kundalini divine
When the Sunshine is sending me cheat codes
If you didn’t get the memo
MOB my MO

[Hook] (x4)
Mind Over Body, Mind, Mind Over Body
We The MOB

[Verse 4 – Borelson]
Yeah
Coming with the mob, it’s about that time
Elevating motivating cause we bout that vibe
Divine is the shine, black magic in its prime
You go take yours and I take what’s mine
It's a new era, new paradigm
Together we shine, no more dimming the light
Divided we sink, but united we rise!
Past present future is one (yeah)
All in the continuum (yeah)
Maximum the nu minimum (yeah)
We changing the curriculum (yeah)
We playing chess as we moving on
Kings and Queens you can keep the pawns
We know this life is marathon
SHOUT OUT NIPSEY, WE CARRY ON
We building new bridges and go
Why do you think that I got Tek and Pho (on the track)
With Ink we gon write history
Changing the narrative, no mystery
The inner peace, the outer strength
The inner sight, the outer space
We be honing our craft
And honestly we got it right
(‘cause )

[Hook] (x4)
Mind Over Body, Mind, Mind Over Body
We The MOB

[Verse 5 – Tracey Kayy]

Mind over body
Got my body goin crazy
Tryna master all my demons
Got my angels who dun raised me
Bodies droppin bodies with the abscence of the mind
Unlike me
I devour the flesh I don’t kill my own kind
Even when disguised
I rise
No fear
Prepared to die for the cause in the end it’ll be fine
If it’s dead then it died
Because my spirit is revived
Trust and believe I’ll be fine
When the enemy was in me
I survived
(Watchu talking bout)
When I was lost
And my spirit came to find me
Demons tried to bribe me
(Keep on talkin about it)
When it is written it is finished
The first shall be the last
The last shall be the first
A superhero in the making
Healing properties
The devil cannot trample me!
Man I manifested my inner being
I put an end to the dark then
I transcended
Neva was it easy
But when you rockin with the most high and travel with (LORD)
Ya enemies will be ya footstool
So neva be the fool
Neva be used like tool
When the enemy is plotting
And knows what it do
Fix up yo mind

[Hook] (x4)
Mind Over Body, Mind, Mind Over Body
We The MOB

[Verse 6 – R.Q.TEK]

We are the mob, just a young black man just doing his job
Probably think I will rob, but we turning the knob
Take away the pain, I ain’t here for the sob
Just down wit the mob, cause I rock wit the mind
U trying to stop but u ain’t reading the signs
Here for the circle, we stay round wit the rhymes
On the top of the rail, way I’m riding the grind
They called us niggas while they beat us,
Now these niggas wanna be us
This is more than a thesis
There’s no hope who could reach us
I’m a rapper and a teacher
Got me feeling like a leader
So I gotta bring the heat bruh
My track flames like the ether
My brown skin like I’m Jesus
Why the world won’t leave us
Why they won’t let us be us
My mind state, getting so real
So I gotta live what I feel
I am hungry and I’m eating meals
The fruit is ripe, I’m about to peel
We all hurt so we gotta heal
But my people never learn to heal
So I’m here sparking up the zeal
Push together we could move the wheel
Altogether we could move the wheel
You know why? Cause
