Flakin and perpetratin but scared to kick reality [00:00:01]
Man you been doin all this d**e producin [00:00:04]
You ain't had a chance to show them what time it is [00:00:05]
So what you want me to do Express yourself [00:00:08]
I'm expressin with my full capabilities [00:00:10]
And now I'm livin' in correctional facilities [00:00:13]
Cause some don't agree with how I do this [00:00:15]
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 [00:00:28]
Add it on a d**e beat and it'll make you think [00:00:30]
Some suckers just tickle me pink to my stomach [00:00:33]
Cause they don't flow like this one [00:00:36]
You know what I won't hesitate to diss one [00:00:38]
Or two before I'm through so don't try to sing this [00:00:40]
Some drop science while I'm droppin English [00:00:43]
Even if Yella makes it acapella [00:00:45]
I still express yo I don't smoke w**d or sess [00:00:48]
Cause it's known to give a brother brain damage [00:00:51]
And brain damage on the mic don't manage nuthin [00:00:53]
But makin a sucka and you equal [00:00:56]
Don't be another sequel express yourself [00:00:58]
Ah ah ah yeah [00:01:01]
Express yourself [00:01:05]
Go on and do it [00:01:08]
Express yourself [00:01:10]
Express yourself [00:01:15]
Go on and do it [00:01:18]
Now gettin back to the PG [00:01:21]
That's program and it's easy [00:01:23]
Dre is back new jacks are made hollow [00:01:26]
Expressin ain't their subject because they like to follow [00:01:28]
The words the style the trend the records I spin [00:01:30]
Again and again and again yo you are on the other end [00:01:33]
Watch a brother blend d**e rhymes with no help [00:01:36]
There's no fessin or guessin while I'm expressin myself [00:01:38]
It's crazy to see people be [00:01:41]
What society wants them to be but not me [00:01:43]
Ruthless is the way to go they know [00:01:46]
Others say rhymes which fail to be original [00:01:48]
Or they kill where the hip hop starts [00:01:51]
Forget about the ghetto and rap for the pop charts [00:01:53]
Some musicians cuss at home [00:01:56]
But scared to use profanity when up on the microphone [00:01:58]
Yeah they want reality but you will hear none [00:02:01]
They'd rather exaggerate a little fiction [00:02:04]
Some say no to drugs and take a stand [00:02:06]
But after the show they go lookin for the dopeman [00:02:08]
Or they ban my group from the radio [00:02:11]
Hear NWA and say hell no [00:02:14]
But you know it ain't all about wealth [00:02:16]
As long as you make a note to express yourself [00:02:19]
Express yourself [00:02:26]
Go on and do it [00:02:28]
Express yourself [00:02:31]
Express yourself [00:02:36]
Go on and do it [00:02:38]
Express yourself [00:02:41]
From the heart cause [00:02:42]
If you wanna start to move up the chart [00:02:42]
Then expression is a big part of it [00:02:44]
You ain't efficient when you flow you ain't swift [00:02:47]
Movin like a tortoise full of rigor mortis [00:02:49]
There's a little bit more to show [00:02:52]
I got rhymes in my mind embedded like an embryo [00:02:54]
Or a lesson all of them expression [00:02:57]
And if you start fessin I got a Smith & Wesson for ya [00:02:59]
I might ignore your record because it has no bottom [00:03:02]
I get loose in the summer winter spring and autumn [00:03:04]
It's Dre on the mic gettin physical [00:03:07]
Doin the job NWA is the lynch mob [00:03:09]
Yes I'm a calm but you know you need this [00:03:12]
And the knowledge is growin just like a fetus [00:03:14]
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 [00:03:22]
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 [00:03:27]
I got knowledge and other suckers lack it [00:03:29]
So when you see Dre a DJ on the mic [00:03:32]
Ask what it's like it's like we're gettin hyped tonight [00:03:35]
Cause if I strike it ain't for your good health [00:03:37]
But I won't strike if you just express yourself [00:03:40]
Express yourself [00:03:46]
Go on and do it [00:03:49]
Express yourself [00:03:52]
Express yourself [00:03:57]
Go on and do it [00:04:00]
Express yourself [00:04:02]
Go on and do it [00:04:04]
Go on and do it [00:04:09]
