Dance On
Mob Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sire, what is thy problem?
Boredom besets me like a pack of wild hounds on a bloody fox
What should I do?
Fetch me the fool, he makes me feel better
Send for the royal fool
Send for the royal fool
Send for the royal fool
(And later on)

Where's the royal fool?
I have a message from the royal fool
Read it aloud
B-But Sire
Read it aloud, now
You fucking fool
What?
Niggas don't dance
All they do is this
Let me see
All they do is this?
Off with his head

They don't dance no mo'
They don't dance no mo'
(What we doin' is sittin' around chillin')
They don't dance no mo'
They don't dance no mo'

Yeah, uh, yeah
Did it, done it, run it, sayin "How you want it?" Leave it
When you finished, let me dress it up and made it seem sweet
Like a beach in Martinique, Goodie back up on they feet
Set it straight for the nine-eight, license plate with the triple A
Callin' all them cars, because the club be goin' left and right
Throwin' blows like them pros, runnin' lows up in the night
Feelin numb from the cup I drank, holla at them thugs in the back
Baby, what you lookin fo'? Shawty I ain't showin' no slack

People don't dance no mo' (they don't dance no mo')
All they do is diss (they don't dance no mo')
All they do is diss
All they do is diss (they don't dance no mo')
People don't dance no mo'
All they do is diss (they don't dance no mo')
All they do is diss
All they do is diss

They get off on holdin' folks hostage
They good, fo' casin' malls and leavin' broken glass
Where you park? Them two inch white walls that was lit by cat eyes
Fools calm, triggers fourth and long, zone three
Deep coverage, man under
We used to break doin' eighty-three
2 Live dropped, and we was throwin' D
They don't fight with fists
They bring they piss
Pat everybody down, before they leave this piece

People don't dance no mo' (they don't dance no mo')
All they do is diss (they don't dance no mo')
All they do is diss
All they do is diss
People don't dance no mo' (they don't dance no mo')
All they do is diss (they don't dance no mo')
All they do is diss
All they do is diss

Educate themselves, and went to jail, that filthy morgue
With the core, and high powered restrainin' mechanisms
Why is it? They slayin' this last nigga, ready to sick 'em
But I stay cool, and observe them fool and let's just thank, and drank
And clear the way you think, actin' out and about
That gat he pulled, that my patna' sawed
And he worked quickly, was it worth it? He didn't deserve it
Predestined weapons for lessons that we learned
Hot, bullets burned

People don't dance no mo' (they don't dance no mo')
All they do is diss (they don't dance no mo')
All they do is diss
All they do is diss
People don't dance no mo' (they don't dance no mo')
All they do is diss (they don't dance no mo')
All they do is diss
All they do is diss

Well, my name is Sugar Low, and this is my trade
For years we been some players, what more can I say?
Saturday night at my dance, throw on a few clothes, uh
Hit Atlanta live, and break a few rolls
Get some drinks, and stroll the halls, hold the walls
Just in case security can't control the brawls
I still roll the ball, but I done got a little too old
To get all sweaty dancin' round wit y'all

People don't dance no mo' (they don't dance no mo')
All they do is diss (they don't dance no mo')
All they do is diss
All they do is diss
People don't dance no mo' (they don't dance no mo')
All they do is diss (they don't dance no mo')
All they do is diss
All they do is diss (they don't dance no more)

People don't dance no mo' (they don't dance no mo')
All they do is diss (they don't dance no mo')
All they do is diss
All they do is diss (they don't dance no more)
People don't dance no mo' (they don't dance no mo')
All they do is diss (they don't dance no mo')
All they do is diss
All they do is diss

People don't dance no mo' (they don't dance no mo')
All they do is diss (they don't dance no mo')
All they do is diss
All they do is diss (they don't dance no more)
People don't dance no mo' (they don't dance no mo')

Overall Meaning

The song "Dance on" by Mob talks about the destructive nature of love and how it can often lead to violence and tragedy. The lyrics describe a chaotic scene of glass breaking, knives flashing, and screams filling the air. Despite the danger and chaos, the dancers can't resist the temptation to keep moving and keep dancing, as if they're trying to outrun their own potential for violence.


The first stanza sets the tone for the rest of the song, with the image of glass breaking in the night, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for the fragility of relationships, both romantic and otherwise. The line "But we're all fools and we all can't stand still" suggests that regardless of the risks, people will always be drawn to the excitement and danger of love and passion, even if it could lead to their downfall.


The second stanza delves deeper into the violence that can come with love, with the imagery of knives flashing in half-light and then screams and blood in the street. The lyric "And those that can love keep warm by creating more heat" seems to suggest that those who are capable of love use it to protect themselves from the danger and chaos around them.


The final stanza touches on the idea of toxic masculinity and the cultural pressure to be a "real man" at any cost, even if it means hurting others. The last lines of the song ask the listener to consider whether they want to be a man or a fool, suggesting that choosing violence and destruction over love and compassion is a foolish and ultimately destructive path.
