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, meditate like a Buddhist

I'm 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 dope beat

And that'll make you think

Some suckaz just tickle me pink to my stomache

'Cause they don't flow like this one

You know what? I won't hesitate to dis 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 a-capella

I still express, yo

I don't smoke weed or a sess

Cause its known to give a brother brain damage

And brain damage on the mic don't manage

Nuthin'

But makin' a sucker and you equal

Don't be another sequel

Express Yourself

Express Yourself

Come on and do it

Express Yourself

Express Yourself

Come on and do it

Ice Cube, its not for the pop chart

So where should a brother like you start expressin yourself

My boy'll show u how

Yo Dre

What Up?

Drop English Right about

Now, gettin' back to the PG

That's program, and it's easy

Dre is back. Newjacks, I mean 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 on the other end

Whatch a brother playin' dope rhymes with no help

There's no fessin' and 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 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 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

Hear NWA 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

Come on and do it

Express Yourself

Express Yourself

Come on and do it

A lyricist

Yo Dre is the name for

That makes sumthin dope on a record

Thats wat he came for

Kickin reality understand himself

But its important that u keep it in mind to

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

And better 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

It's Dre on the mic, gettin' physical

Doin' the job

NWA is the lynch mob!

Yes, I'm a cob?

But you know you need this

And the knowledge is growin'

Just like a foetus, or a tumor

But here's 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'mma 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 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
