[00:00.00]Yo, man...
[00:00.96]There's a lot of brothers out there flakin' and perpetratin
[00:03.36]But scared to kick reality.
[00:04.91]Man, you've been doing all this **** producing.
[00:07.02]You had a chance to show 'em what time it is...
[00:08.85]So, what you want me to do?
[00:10.16]Express Yourself...
[00:11.41]I'm expressin' with my full capabilities,
[00:13.32]And now I'm livin' in correctional facilities,
[00:15.96]Cause some don't agree with how I do this.
[00:18.49]I get straight, meditate like a Buddhist
[00:21.08]I'm droppin' flava, my behaviour is heriditery,
[00:23.61]But my technique is very necessary.
[00:26.07]Blame it on Ice Cube... Because he says it gets funky
[00:29.20]When you got a subject and a predacit.
[00:31.11]Add it on a **** beat
[00:32.73]And that'll make you think.
[00:34.01]Some suckaz just tickle me pink
[00:35.78]To my stomache. 'Cause they don't flow like this one.
[00:38.63]You know what? I won't hesitate to dis one
[00:40.88]Or two before I'm through.
[00:42.18]So don't try to sing this!
[00:43.88]Some drop science
[00:45.00]While I'm droppin' English.
[00:46.18]Even if Yella
[00:47.33]Makes it a-capella
[00:48.61]I still express, yo, I don't smoke **** or a sess.
[00:51.56]Cause its known to give a brother brain damage.
[00:53.96]And brain damage on the mic don't manage
[00:56.11]Nuthin'
[00:56.86]But makin' a sucker and you equal.
[00:58.95]Don't be another sequel...
[01:00.91]Express Yourself...
[01:05.69]Express Yourself...
[01:08.41]Come on and do it...
[01:10.84]Express Yourself...
[01:15.72]Express Yourself...
[01:18.62]Come on and do it...
[01:21.81]Now, gettin' back to the PG.
[01:24.32]That's program, and it's easy.
[01:26.64]Dre is back. Newjacks, I mean hollow,
[01:28.97]Expressin' ain't their subject
[01:30.09]Because they like to follow
[01:31.42]The words, the style, the trend,
[01:33.28]The records I spin.
[01:33.98]Again and again and again
[01:35.42]Yo, you on the other end.
[01:36.80]Whatch a brother playin' **** rhymes with no help.
[01:39.29]There's no fessin' and guessin'
[01:40.96]While I'm expressin myself.
[01:42.03]It's crazy to see people be
[01:43.75]What society wants them to be. But not me!
[01:46.37]Ruthless...
[01:47.72]Is the way to go
[01:48.72]They know.
[01:49.42]Others say rhymes that fail
[01:50.96]To be original.
[01:51.90]Or they kill where the hiphop starts,
[01:54.18]Forget about the ghetto
[01:55.69]And rap for the pop charts.
[01:57.34]Some musicians curse at home
[01:59.17]But scared to use profanity
[02:00.31]When up on the microphone.
[02:02.04]Yeah, they want reality.
[02:03.27]But you won't hear none.
[02:04.99]They rather exaggerate, a little fiction.
[02:06.98]Some say no to drugs and take a stand,
[02:09.46]But after the show they go lookin' for the ****man.
[02:11.94]Or they ban my group from the radio.
[02:14.50]Hear NWA and say "Hell no! ".
[02:17.14]But you know it ain't all about wealth.
[02:19.49]As long as you make a note to...
[02:21.55]Express Yourself...
[02:26.15]Express Yourself...
[02:29.31]Come on and do it...
[02:31.19]Express Yourself...
[02:36.18]Express Yourself...
[02:39.47]Come on and do it...
[02:41.69]Express Yourself...
[02:42.40]From the heart.
[02:43.26]Cause if you wanna start to move up the chart
[02:45.14]Then expression is a big part of it.
[02:47.62]You ain't efficient when you flow
[02:49.24]You ain't swift, movin' like a tortoise.
[02:50.94]Full of rigor mortis.
[02:52.38]There's a little bit more to show
[02:54.78]I got rhymes in my mind, and better like an embryo.
[02:57.78]Or a lesson - all of 'em expression
[03:00.11]And if you start fessin' -
[03:01.34]I got a Smith and Wessun
[03:02.15]For you.
[03:02.75]I might ignore your record
[03:04.32]Because it has no bottom.
[03:05.52]I get loose in the summer. When in spring and autumn
[03:08.23]It's Dre on the mic, gettin' physical.
[03:10.11]Doin' the job
[03:11.19]NWA is the lynch mob!
[03:12.83]Yes, I'm a cob?
[03:13.85]But you know you need this.
[03:15.42]And the knowledge is growin'
[03:16.75]Just like a fetus, or a tumor.
[03:19.05]But here's the rumor:
[03:20.15]Dre is in the neighborhood
[03:21.48]And he's up to no good.
[03:22.94]When I start expressin' myself,
[03:24.30]Yella, slam it!
[03:25.27]Cause If I stay funky like this I'm doin' damage.
[03:27.49]Or I'm a be too hyped,
[03:28.97]And need a straight jacket.
[03:30.78]I got knowledge and other suckers lack it.
[03:32.74]So, when you see Dre, a DJ on the mic,
[03:35.53]Ask what it's like.
[03:36.65]It's like we gettin' hype tonight.
[03:38.30]Cause if I strike
[03:39.24]It ain't for your good health.
[03:40.70]But I won't strike if you just...
[03:42.40]Express Yourself...
[03:47.13]Express Yourself...
[03:50.19]Come on and do it...
[03:52.07]Express Yourself...
[03:57.47]Express Yourself...
[03:59.49]Come on and do it...
[04:02.20]Express Yourself...
[04:05.08]Come on and do it...
[04:06.98]Express Yourself...
[04:10.09]Come on and do it...
[04:14.51]Come on and do it...
