Dance on
The Mob Lyrics

Sire, what is thy problem?
The singer asks the king what is bothering him

Boredom besets me like a pack of wild hounds on a bloody fox
The king is extremely bored

What should I do?
The singer asks the king what he should do to alleviate his boredom

Fetch me the fool, he makes me feel better
The king wants to be entertained by the court jester

Send for the royal fool
The artist is requesting that the royal fool be summoned to the king's presence

(And later on)
This is a transition to a later point in time

Where's the royal fool?
The king is looking for the court jester

I have a message from the royal fool
Someone has a message from the court jester to deliver to the king

Read it aloud
The king wants someone to read the message out loud

B-But Sire
The artist hesitates to read the message out loud for the king

Read it aloud, now
The king insists that the message be read out loud immediately

You fucking fool
The king insults the artist for hesitating to read the message out loud

What?
The singer is surprised or confused by the king's insult

Niggas don't dance

All they do is this

Let me see

Off with his head
The king orders someone to be executed

They don't dance no mo'

Educate themselves, and went to jail, that filthy morgue
The singer is suggesting that people who resort to violence end up in jail or dead

With the core, and high powered restrainin' mechanisms
It's unclear what this line means in the context of the song

Why is it? They slayin' this last nigga, ready to sick 'em
The artist is asking why people are so violent and eager to cause harm to others
