Express Yourself

Yo, man, there's a lot of brothers out there

Flakin' and perpetratin', too scared to kick reality

Man, you been doin' all this dope producin'

You ain't had a chance to show 'em what time it is

So watchu want me to do?

Express yourself

I'm expressin' with my full capabilities

And now I'm livin' in correctional facilities

'Cause some don't agree with how I do this

I get straight and meditate, like a Buddhist

I'm droppin' flavour, my behavior is hereditary

But my technique is very necessary

Blame it on Ice Cube because he said it gets funky

When you got a subject and a predicate

Add it on a dope beat and it'll make you think

Some suckers just tickle me pink to my stomach

'Cause they don't flow like this one

You know what, I won't hesitate to diss one or two

Before I'm through so don't try to sing

This some drop science, well I'm droppin' English

Even if Yella, makes it a cappella

I still express, yo, I don't smoke weed or sess

'Cause it's known to give a brother brain damage

And brain damage on the mic don't manage nothing

But makin' a sucker and you equal

Don't be another sequel

Express yourself

Express yourself

Express yourself

Express yourself

Now, gettin' back to the PG

That's program and it's easy

Dre is back, New Jacks are made hollow

Expressin' niggers subject because they like to follow

The words, the style, the trend, the records I spin

Again and again and again, yo y'all on the other end

Watch a brother bringin' dope rhymes, with no help

There's no fessin' or guessin' while I'm expressin' myself

It's crazy to see people be what society wants 'em to be

But not me

Ruthless, is the way to go, they know

Others say rhymes which fail to be original

Or they kill where the hip-hop starts

Forget about the ghetto, and rap for the pop charts

Some musicians cuss at home

But scared to use profanity when up on the microphone

Yeah, they want reality but you won't hear none

They rather exaggerate a little fiction

Some say no to drugs and take a stand

But after the show they go lookin' for the Dopeman

Or they ban my group from the radio

"Here, N.W.A.", they say, "Hell no!"

But you know it ain't all about wealth

As long as you make a note to

Express yourself

Express yourself

Express yourself

Express yourself

Express yourself

From the heart 'cause if you wanna start to move up the chart

Then expression is a big part of it

You ain't efficient when you flow, you ain't swift

Movin' like a tortise, full o' rigor mortis

There's a little bit more to show

I got rhymes in my mind, embedded like a embryo

Or a lesson, all of them expression

And if you start fessin', I got a Smith and Weston for ya

I might ignore your record because it has no bottom

I might get loose in the summer, winter, spring and autumn

It's Dre on the mic gettin' physical

Doing the job, N.W.A. is the lynch mob

Yes, I'm Macabre but you know you need this

And the knowledge is growing just like a fetus

Or tumor, well here's the rumour

Dre's in the neighbourhood and he's up to no good

When I start expressing myself, yella slam me

'Cause if I stay funky like this, I'm doin' damage

Or I'ma be too hyped and need a straightjacket

I got knowledge and other suckers lack it

So when you see Dre, a DJ on the mic

Ask what it's like, it's like we gettin' hype tonight

'Cause if I strike, it ain't for your good health

But I won't strike if you just

Express yourself

Express yourself

Express yourself

Express yourself

Express yourself
