Body bo- bo- bo- bo- bo-
Body bo- bo- bo-
Body bo- bo- bo-
Body 'em
Body 'em
Body-ody-ody-ody-ody 'em
Body bo- bo- bo-
Body bo- bo- bo- bo- bo-
Body bo- bo- bo- bo- bo-
Body bo- bo- bo- bo-
Body-ody-ody-ody-ody-ody-ody-ody-ody-ody, yeah
(Yeah)
(Uh huh)
[Verse 1]
Yeah, body you when I murder bars
I get down with the verbal spares
Verbiage is, verbiage was
Real ones know what the verbiage does
Power lies in the spoken word
Streets survive with the broken verb
Instinct seeking and speakin' tongue
Native naturals that we come from
OG's spawning, Streets are on it
Ghetto slang "thang" is peaked Ebonics
Coded language - beyond complеx
Love and anguish put in context
Check thе subtext, learn the pretext
See what God blessed
And love's the effect
Love's the vibe that keeps us alive
We go in we just don't survive we-
[Chorus]
Body 'em (body bo- bo- bo- bo- bo-)
Body 'em
Body 'em
Body 'em (body bo- bo- bo-)
Body 'em
Body 'em (body bo- bo- bo-)
Body 'em
Body 'em
(body 'em)
(body 'em)
(body-ody-ody-ody-ody 'em)
(body bo- bo- bo-)
[Verse 2]
Heats the real inner me to kill
The truth revealed as we breathe the Bill
I concede an MC with skill
Spits the heat real G's can feel
Prophecy and destiny's revealed
On the day that the young G's see the field
See the game, peeps the game
The Blood and the Crips blood bleed the same
Take it deeper, what's the "G" for?
Is it "Gangster" or "OD", what?
My "G" stands for the God in me
And if you're offended, pardon me
I'm battling with devils, on a multitude of levels
And the levels that they comin' at are "G"
I gotta hit 'em where they partyin'
And motivate and body 'em and give 'em God body strategies to-
[Chorus]
Body 'em (body bo- bo- bo- bo- bo-)
Body 'em
Body 'em
Body 'em (body bo- bo- bo-)
Body 'em
Body 'em (body bo- bo- bo-)

(ooooh)
(body bo- bo- bo- bo- bo-)
(body-ody-ody-ody 'em)
(ooooh)
[Verse 3]
As a party G, it ain't hard to see
That a-Cardi B is apart of me
From "Flash" to "The Sugar Hill Gang" to "Migos"
This ain't ego, this how we grow
Bottom of the hood to the top of the charts
Think we hot 'em in the hood from the top of the hearts
We built the name, built the fame
Killed the shame, and killed the game
Stacked the deck, odds against us
It don't matter, God is in us
When we tap in, it ain't just rappin'
We dropped bars and made it happen
DJ scratchin', made it backspin
Train the craftsman to fade to black when
From a dead level to a love perpendicular
And body 'em with love in particular
[Outro]
(Body-ody-ody-ody-ody 'em)
(body bo- bo- bo)
