A lot of brothers out there been
Flakin' and perpetratin' but scared to kick reality
We been doin' all this d**e producin'
You ain't had a chance to show 'em what time it is
Well what you want me to do
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 d**e 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 w**d or sess
Cause it's known to give a brother brain damage
And brain damage on the mic don't manage nnothin'
But makin a sucka and you equal
Don't be another sequel
Whoa
Express Yourself
Whoa
Express Yourself
Whoa
Express Yourself
Whoa
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
Again and again and again yo you're on the other end
Whatch a brother blend d**e 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 curse at home
But scared to use profanity when upon the microphone
Yeah they want reality but you will hear none
They'd rather exaggerate a little fiction
Some say no to *** and take a stand
But after the show they go lookin for the"Dopeman"
Or they ban my group from the radio
Hear Stretch Arm Strong say"Hell no"
But you know it ain't all about wealth
As long as you make a note to express yourself
Whoa
Express yourself
Whoa
Express yourself
Whoa
Express yourself
Come on do it
Cause if you wanna start to move up the chart
Then expression is a big part of it a big part of it
Expression is a big part of it a big part of it
There's 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 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 Stretch Arm Strong is the lynch mob
Yes I'm a climb 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'm a 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
Whoa
Express yourself
Whoa
Express yourself
Whoa
Express yourself
Come on and do it
Come on and do it
Express yourself
