A lot of brothers out there been[00:00:00]
Flakin' and perpetratin' but scared to kick reality[00:00:01]
We been doin' all this d**e producin'[00:00:04]
You ain't had a chance to show 'em what time it is[00:00:06]
Well what you want me to do [00:00:08]
Express yourself [00:00:09]
I'm expressin with my full capabilities[00:00:11]
And now I'm livin' in correctional facilities[00:00:13]
Cause some don't agree with how I do this[00:00:16]
I get straight and meditate like a Buddhist[00:00:18]
I'm droppin' flava my behavior is hereditary[00:00:20]
But my technique is very necessary[00:00:23]
Blame it on Ice Cube; because he said it gets funky[00:00:25]
When you got a subject and a predicate[00:00:27]
Add it on a d**e beat; and it'll make you think[00:00:29]
Some suckers just tickle me pink to my stomach[00:00:32]
Cause they don't flow like this one[00:00:34]
You know what I won't hesitate to diss one[00:00:37]
Or two before I'm through so don't try to sing this[00:00:38]
Some drop science; while I'm droppin english[00:00:41]
Even if Yella makes it acapella[00:00:43]
I still express yo I don't smoke w**d or sess[00:00:46]
Cause it's known to give a brother brain damage[00:00:49]
And brain damage on the mic don't manage nnothin'[00:00:50]
But makin a sucka and you equal[00:00:53]
Don't be another sequel[00:00:55]
Whoa [00:01:00]
Express Yourself[00:01:01]
Whoa[00:01:04]
Express Yourself[00:01:06]
Whoa[00:01:09]
Express Yourself[00:01:11]
Whoa[00:01:14]
Now gettin back to the PG[00:01:16]
That's program and it's easy[00:01:19]
Dre is back new jacks are made hollow[00:01:21]
Expressin' ain't their subject because they like to follow[00:01:23]
The words the style the trend[00:01:25]
Again and again and again yo you're on the other end[00:01:27]
Whatch a brother blend d**e rhymes with no help[00:01:30]
There's no fessin' or guessin' while I'm expressin' myself[00:01:32]
It's crazy to see people be[00:01:35]
What society wants them to be but not me[00:01:37]
Ruthless is the way to go they know[00:01:39]
Others say rhymes which fail to be original[00:01:42]
Or they kill where the hip-hop starts[00:01:44]
Forget about the ghetto and rap for the pop charts[00:01:46]
Some musicians curse at home[00:01:49]
But scared to use profanity when upon the microphone[00:01:51]
Yeah they want reality but you will hear none[00:01:53]
They'd rather exaggerate a little fiction[00:01:56]
Some say no to drugs and take a stand[00:01:58]
But after the show they go lookin for the "Dopeman"[00:02:00]
Or they ban my group from the radio[00:02:02]
Hear Stretch Arm Strong say "Hell no "[00:02:05]
But you know it ain't all about wealth[00:02:07]
As long as you make a note to express yourself [00:02:09]
Whoa [00:02:14]
Express yourself[00:02:16]
Whoa[00:02:19]
Express yourself[00:02:21]
Whoa[00:02:24]
Express yourself[00:02:25]
Come on do it[00:02:28]
Cause if you wanna start to move up the chart[00:02:35]
Then expression is a big part of it a big part of it[00:02:40]
Expression is a big part of it a big part of it [00:02:49]
There's a little bit more to show[00:02:54]
I got rhymes in my mind embedded like an embryo[00:02:56]
Or a lesson all of 'em expression[00:02:59]
And if you start fessin' I got a Smith and Wessun for ya[00:03:01]
I might ignore your record because it has no bottom[00:03:03]
I get loose in the summer winter spring and autumn[00:03:06]
It's Dre on the mic gettin' physical[00:03:08]
Doin' the job Stretch Arm Strong is the lynch mob [00:03:10]
Yes I'm a climb but you know you need this[00:03:13]
And the knowledge is growin' just like a fetus[00:03:15]
Or a tumor but here is the rumor[00:03:17]
Dre is in the neighborhood and he's up to no good[00:03:19]
When I start expressin' myself Yella slam it[00:03:21]
Cause if I stay funky like this I'm doin' damage[00:03:24]
Or I'm a be too hyped and need a straight jacket[00:03:26]
I got knowledge and other suckers lack it[00:03:29]
So when you see Dre a DJ on the mic[00:03:31]
Ask what it's like it's like we're gettin' hyped tonight[00:03:33]
Cause if I strike it ain't for your good health[00:03:36]
But I won't strike if you just[00:03:38]
Express yourself [00:03:40]
Whoa[00:03:43]
Express yourself[00:03:44]
Whoa[00:03:47]
Express yourself[00:03:49]
Whoa[00:03:52]
Express yourself[00:03:54]
Come on and do it[00:03:57]
Come on and do it[00:04:01]
Express yourself [00:04:06]
