express yourself

[Dr. Dre:]
Yo, man... Theres a lot of brothers out there flakin and perpetratin
But scared to kick reality.
[Ice Cube:]
Man, youve been doing all this **** producing.
You had a chance to show em what time it is...
[Dr. Dre:]
So, what you want me to do?
Express Yourself...
[Dr. Dre:]
Im expressin with my full capabilities,
And now Im livin in correctional facilities,
Cause some dont agree with how I do this.
I get straight, meditate like a Buddhist
Im droppin flava, my behaviour is heriditery,
But my technique is very necessary.
Blame it on Ice Cube... Because he says it gets funky
When you got a subject and a predacit.
Add it on a **** beat
And thatll make you think.
Some suckaz just tickle me pink
To my stomache. Cause they dont flow like this one.
You know what? I wont hesitate to dis one
Or two before Im through.
So dont try to sing this!
Some drop science
While Im droppin English.
Even if Yella
Makes it a-capella
I still express, yo, I dont smoke **** or a sess.
Cause its known to give a brother brain damage.
And brain damage on the mic dont manage
Nuthin
But makin a sucker and you equal.
Dont be another sequel...
Express Yourself...
Express Yourself...
Come on and do it...
Express Yourself...
Express Yourself...
Come on and do it...
Now, gettin back to the PG.
Thats program, and its easy.
Dre is back. Newjacks, I mean hollow,
Expressin aint their subject
Because they like to follow
The words, the style, the trend,
The records I spin.
Again and again and again
Yo, you on the other end.
Whatch a brother playin **** rhymes with no help.
Theres no fessin and guessin
While Im expressin myself .
Its crazy to see people be
What society wants them to be. But not me!
Ruthless...
Is the way to go
They know.
Others say rhymes that fail
To be original.
Or they kill where the hiphop starts,
Forget about the ghetto
And rap for the pop charts.
Some musicians curse at home
But scared to use profanity
When up on the microphone.
Yeah, they want reality.
But you wont 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 ****man.
Or they ban my group from the radio.
Hear NWA and say 'Hell no!'.
But you know it aint all about wealth.
As long as you make a note to...
Express Yourself...
Express Yourself...
Come on and do it.. .
Express Yourself...
Express Yourself...
Come on and do it...
Express Yourself...
From the heart.
Cause if you wanna start to move up the chart
Then expression is a big part of it.
You aint efficient when you flow
You aint swift, movin like a tortoise.
Full of rigor mortis.
Theres a little bit more to show
I got rhymes in my mind, embedded like an embryo.
Or a lesson - all of em expression
And if you start fessin -
I got a Smith and Wessun
For you.
I might ignore your record
Because it has no bottom.
I get loose in the summer. When in spring and autumn
Its Dre on the mic, gettin physical.
Doin the job
NWA is the lynch mob!
Yes , Im a cob?
But you know you need this.
And the knowledge is growin
Just like a foetus, or a tumor.
But heres the rumor:
Dre is in the neighborhood
And hes up to no good.
When I start expressin myself,
Yella, slam it!
Cause If I stay funky like this Im doin damage.
Or Imma be too hyped ,
And need a straight jacket.
I got knowledge and other suckaers lack it.
So, when you see Dre, a DJ on the mic,
Ask what its like.
Its like we gettin hype tonight.
Cause if I strike
It aint for your good health.
But I wont strike if you just...
Express Yourself...
Express Yourself. ..
Come on and do it...
Express Yourself...
Express Yourself...
Come on and do it...
Express Yourself...
Come on and do it...
Come on and do it...
Come on and do it...
Come on and do it... [music fades]
