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' flava, 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 **** 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 while I'm droppin' English Even if Yella, makes it acapella I still express, yo, I don't smoke **** or sess 'Cause it's known to give a brother brain damage And brain damage on the mic don't manage nuthin' But makin' a sucka and you equal Don't be another sequel, express yourself Express yourself Go on and do it Express yourself Express yourself Go on and do it Now, gettin' back to the PG That's program and it's easy Dre is back, new jacks are made hollow Expressin' ain't their subject because they like to follow The words, the style, the trend, the records I spin Again and again and again, yo, you're on the other end Watch a brother blend **** 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 them 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 will hear none They'd 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 N.W.A. and say hell no But you know it ain't all about wealth As long as you make a note to express yourself Express yourself Go on and do it Express yourself Express yourself Go 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 ain't efficient when you flow, you ain't swift Movin' like a tortoise, full of rigor mortis There's a little bit more to show I got rhymes in my mind, embedded like an embryo Or a lesson, all of them expression And if you start fessin', I got a Smith & Wesson for ya I might ignore your record because it has no bottom I get loose in the summer, winter, spring and autumn It's Dre on the mic, gettin' physical Doin' the job, N.W.A is the lynch mob Yes, I'ma calm but you know you need this And the knowledge is growin' just like a fetus Or a tumor but here is the rumor Dre is in the neighborhood and he's up to no good When I start expressin' myself, Yella, slam it 'Cause if I stay funky like this I'm doin' damage Or I'ma be too hyped and need a straight jacket 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're gettin' hyped tonight 'Cause if I strike, it ain't for your good health But I won't strike if you just express yourself Express yourself Go on and do it Express yourself Express yourself Go on and do it Express yourself Go on and do it Go on and do it Go on and do it
