MOB
E-40 Lyrics

I don't know if you don't, I know, whenever the wind blows
I may not be sure, but whenever the opportunity presents itself, I am ready to go after my goals

I be chasin' all of my cheese, think I'm lyin', silly negro, please
I relentlessly pursue my wealth, don't doubt me, I'm not the one to play with

My niggaz is out to get rich, better watch out man 'cause they sick
My associates are focused on getting wealthy and can be dangerous if crossed

Somebody better get this dick, I'm about to get sick with this shit
Someone needs to take care of this problem, or I will react violently

Although them niggaz is tight, as tight as me they never will be
Even though others try to match my skill and accomplishments, they will never be as good as me

So what? Some niggaz is famous man, some niggaz is out for they G's
There are some people who are famous, while others are simply after monetary gain

Some niggaz is lovin' hookers man, some niggaz send hoes to they knees
Some individuals enjoy the company of prostitutes, while others use them for their own pleasure

Some niggaz will rescue a bitch, some skanless niggaz'll let the ho bleed
Some people will help a woman in need, while others would leave her to suffer

If you gon' ride, nigga go'n ride, if you gon' hide, nigga go'n hide, witcho' bitch ass
If you're going to take action, then do it fearlessly, but if not, then don't bother hiding like a coward

If you gon' shoot, nigga go'n shoot, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
If you're going to use a gun, then do so swiftly and confidently

If you gon' spook, nigga go'n spook
If you're going to intimidate someone, do it without hesitation

The cherries, sirens, got me layin', po po penelopes make
The sound of police cars and sirens disrupts my everyday life

Noises throughout the night, bring the yellow tape
The sounds of violence constantly occur during the night, and the authorities have to block off the areas where crimes are committed

They so lost, bodies bagged up
The people around me are confused and many are dying

Streets blocked off, victims air lifted up
The streets are closed, and helicopters are used to transport the wounded and injured

Lieutenants, bosses, block monsters, kingpins
Leaders and powerful people control everything, including the criminals and gangs in these areas

Funkin', beefin', killin' they best friends
People in these areas fight and kill those closest to them

And to prevent bloodshed we used to try to reason
In the past, we tried to find peaceful solutions to avoid bloodshed

But right now it's a drought and ain't nobody eatin'
Currently, a lack of resources and opportunities is causing people to struggle and fight

So therefo' there the problem right there
Therefore, the root of the problem is obvious

Ain't no jobs provided so I'ma blame the Mayor
There are no opportunities or jobs available, and I blame the Mayor for this issue

Sinister mob throughout the town
A group of dangerous people with evil intentions are present in this area

Y'all grew up on this shit, y'all love the sound
The people here have been exposed to this lifestyle and genre, and have grown accustomed to it

y'all threw up on the shit, all on the tar
The people here have vomited due to the lifestyle they have been living

Got you twisted with the shit, dang near wreck yo' momma's car
The lifestyle and drug use in this area has twisted people up, leading them to make poor decisions which can cause accidents

Dirty needles, welfare checks
Drug use and reliance on government assistance is prevalent in this area

Poverty, despair, housin' projects
A lack of financial resources and hope is common, and people live in low-income housing

Smeb with me and Nate Dogg
Snoop Dogg and Nate Dogg are with me

M.D. 20/20 see that them breathin' alcohol
A type of potent alcohol is causing people to become intoxicated and have difficulty breathing

Drinking too many to the head with me, eightball, let your anger out, throw it up against the wall
Drinking too much alcohol with me can cause you to release your emotions uncontrollably

I dropped a see-note, didn't miss it, a little skank from the other side, picked it up and kiss it like
I dropped a one hundred dollar bill, and a woman from the other side of town picked it up and kissed it in gratitude

Good luck, you deserve it and you makin' it, even though my boyfriend, them be hatin' it
You deserve the good fortune and success that comes your way, even though my boyfriend does not approve

I'm a top hat, them cats is mouses
I am a successful and powerful man, while those who oppose me are weak and inferior

I sport ice, cost mo' than niggaz houses
I wear expensive jewelry that is worth more than most people's houses

I'm nothing close to bein' fake, I tried to tell them tricks a long time ago
I am genuine and have always told people the truth

To get in this rap game, but it's too late
I tried to inform people about the music industry, but it is now too difficult to make it

I'm on my way to my, where? Studio session
I'm headed to the studio to record music

Switchin' ears, tryin' to get a better reception
I'm adjusting the headphone on my ears while trying to get a better sound

Changin' gears, super size
I am shifting gears to drive faster

Poppin' wheelies in my brand new ride
I am performing stunts on my new motorcycle

Glow in the dark night vision, solar ray tinted glass
My car has night vision and tinted glass that blocks harmful UV rays

Power heated side through mirrors, brought back airbags
My car's mirrors are heated, and it has recently been installed with airbags

Off the new with the stump, my Cadillac DTS Deville, 32 valve ain't no punk
I recently purchased a new Cadillac DTS Deville with an engine that runs smoothly and powerfully

Get up outta here some ol' Jacklin and square, hollered adjitudes and ate the gravel
Some old man with outdated ways of thinking was loudly expressing his opinions and then quickly fled when he saw me

I said, ?I ain't no mark ass any ol' rapper, potnah I was built for battlin'
I am not just any average rapper, I am talented and built for competition

And about all that ol' jaw jackin', you doin' potnah, I ain't playin'
Don't waste your breath talking, I'm not playing around

You get your head put on flat, think it's a game, I got choppers
If you continue to disrespect me, I will take action and use my weapons

Done fucked with jelly jaws, screwed a few bitches in my car
I have had sexual encounters with some inexperienced and unimpressive partners in my car

A temper problem, I can't hide, issues, violence, problems deep inside?
I have difficulty controlling my temper, and I have inner struggles that sometimes lead to violence
