[Intro Dr. Dre Ice Cube] Yo, man, its a lot of brothers out there flakin and perpetratin but scared to kick reality Man, youve been doin all this dope producing, you aint had a chance to show em what time it is So what you want me to do? Express yourself [Verse 1 Dr. Dre] Im expressing with my full capabilities And now Im living in correctional facilities Cause some dont agree with how I do this I get straight, meditate like a Buddhist Im dropping flavor, my behavior is hereditary But my technique is very necessary Blame it on Ice Cube, because he says it gets funky When you got a subject and a predicate Add it on a dope beat and thatll make you think Some suckers just tickle me pink To my stomach, cause they dont flow like this one You know what? I wont hesitate to dis one Or two before Im through, so dont try to sing this Some drop science, well Im dropping English Even if Yella makes it a cappella I still express, yo I dont smoke weed or sess Cause its known to give a brother brain damage And brain damage on the mic dont manage nothing But making a sucker and you equal, dont be another sequel [Chorus] Express yourself Ah, ah, ah yeah, ah yeah, ah yeah, ah yeah Express yourself Smoke, smoke Come on and do it Yeah, kick it over here Express yourself Do it, do it, [?] Express yourself Come on and do it [Verse 2 Dr. Dre] Now, getting back to the PG Thats program, and its easy Dre is back, new jacks are made hollow Expressing aint 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 Watch a brother saying dope rhymes with no help Theres no fessing and guessing while Im expressing myself Its 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 cuss at home But scared to use profanity when up on the microphone Yeah, they want reality but you wont hear none They rather exaggerate a little fiction Some say no to drugs and take a stand But after the show they go looking for the dopeman Or they ban my group from the radio, hear N.W.A and say Hell no! But you know it aint all about wealth as long as you make a note to... [Chorus] Express yourself Yeah, yeah, yeah, [?] Express yourself Come on and do it Yeah, yeah, do it Express yourself Dr. Dre, Dr. Dre in full effect and N.W.A Express yourself Come on and do it Express yourself [Verse 3 Dr. Dre] From the heart cause if you wanna start to move up the chart Then expression is a big part of it You aint efficient when you flow You aint swift, moving like a tortoise, full of rigor mortis Theres 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 fessing, I got a Smith and Wesson for you I might ignore your record because it has no bottom I get loose in the summer, winter, spring and autumn Its Dre on the mic, getting physical Doing the job, N.W.A is the lynch mob Yes, Im macabre but you know you need this And the knowledge is growing, just like a fetus Or a tumor but heres the rumor Dre is in the neighborhood and hes up to no good When I start expressing myself, Yella slam it Cause If I stay funky like this, Im doing damage Or Imma 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 its like, its like we getting hype tonight Cause if I strike, it aint for your good health But I wont strike if you just [Outro] Express yourself Yeah, yeah, this records almost over, almost over, gotta get hyped up Express yourself Do it, do it Come on and do it Do it, do it, do it Express yourself Comptons full of fakes, Comptons full of fakes, yeah Express yourself Come on and do it Do it, do it, do it Express yourself Come on and do it Thats what she said, what she said Come on and do it Come on and do it
