Lyrics
0:00Yo man There's a lot of brothers out there flakin' and perpetratin
0:03But scared to kick reality
0:05Man you've been doing all this d**e producing
0:07You had a chance to show 'em what time it is
0:09So what you want me to do
0:30Express Yourself
0:31I'm expressin' with my full capabilities
0:33And now I'm livin' in correctional facilities
0:36Cause some don't agree with how I do this
0:38I get straight meditate like a Buddhist
0:41I'm droppin' flava my behaviour is heriditery
0:43But my technique is very necessary
0:46Blame it on Ice Cube Because he says it gets funky
0:49When you got a subject and a predacit
0:51Add it on a d**e beat
0:52And that'll make you think
0:53Some suckaz just tickle me pink
0:55To my stomache 'Cause they don't flow like this one
0:58You know what I won't hesitate to dis one
1:00Or two before I'm through
1:01So don't try to sing this
1:03Some drop science
1:04While I'm droppin' English
1:06Even if Yella
1:07Makes it a capella
1:08I still express yo I don't smoke w**d or a sess
1:11Cause its known to give a brother brain damage
1:13And brain damage on the mic don't manage
1:15Nuthin'
1:16But makin' a sucker and you equal
1:18Don't be another sequel
1:20Express Yourself
1:25Express Yourself
1:29Come on and do it
1:35Express Yourself
1:36Express Yourself
1:39Come on and do it
1:40Now gettin' back to the PG
1:43That's program and it's easy
1:45Dre is back Newjacks I mean hollow
1:48Expressin' ain't their subject
1:49Because they like to follow
1:50The words the style the trend
1:52The records I spin
1:53Again and again and again
1:54Yo you on the other end
1:55Whatch a brother playin' d**e rhymes with no help
1:58There's no fessin' and guessin'
1:59While I'm expressin myself
2:01It's crazy to see people be
2:03What society wants them to be But not me
2:06Ruthless
2:06Is the way to go
2:07They know
2:08Others say rhymes that fail
2:09To be original
2:11Or they kill where the hiphop starts
2:13Forget about the ghetto
2:14And rap for the pop charts
2:16Some musicians curse at home
2:18But scared to use profanity
2:19When up on the microphone
2:20Yeah they want reality
2:22But you won't hear none
2:23They rather exaggerate a little fiction
2:25Some say no to d**gs and take a stand
2:28But after the show they go lookin' for the d**eman
2:31Or they ban my group from the radio
2:34Hear NWA and say Hell no
2:36But you know it ain't all about wealth
2:38As long as you make a note to
2:40Express Yourself
2:45Express Yourself
2:50Come on and do it
2:51Express Yourself
2:56Express Yourself
2:58Come on and do it
2:59Express Yourself
3:01From the heart
3:01Cause if you wanna start to move up the chart
3:03Then expression is a big part of it
3:06You ain't efficient when you flow
3:07You ain't swift movin' like a tortoise
3:09Full of rigor mortis
3:11There's a little bit more to show
3:12I got rhymes in my mind embedded like an embryo
3:16Or a lesson all of 'em expression
3:18And if you start fessin'
3:19I got a Smith and Wessun
3:20For you
3:20I might ignore your record
3:22Because it has no bottom
3:23I get loose in the summer When in spring and autumn
3:26It's Dre on the mic gettin' physical
3:28Doin' the job
3:29NWA is the lynch mob
3:30Yes I'm a cob
3:31But you know you need this
3:33And the knowledge is growin'
3:34Just like a foetus or a tumor
3:36But here's the rumor：
3:38Dre is in the neighborhood
3:39And he's up to no good
3:40When I start expressin' myself
3:42Yella slam it
3:43Cause If I stay funky like this I'm doin' damage
3:45Or I'mma be too hyped
3:47And need a straight jacket
3:48I got knowledge and other suckaers lack it
3:50So when you see Dre a DJ on the mic
3:53Ask what it's like
3:54It's like we gettin' hype tonight
3:55Cause if I strike
3:56It ain't for your good health
3:58But I won't strike if you just
3:59Express Yourself
4:01Express Yourself
4:02Come on and do it
4:04Express Yourself
4:10Express Yourself
4:11Come on and do it
4:12Express Yourself
4:12Come on and do it
4:13Come on and do it
4:15Come on and do it
