Ice Cube - Express Yourself lyrics

[Intro] Yo man there's alot of brothers out there Flakin and perpatratin who scared to kick reality Yo Dre you've been doin all this dope producin' You ain't had a chance to show 'em what time it is So watch do you want me to do... All you got to do now, express yourself [Verse 1: Dr. Dre] I'm expressin' with my full capabilities Now I'm livin' in correctional facilities Coz some don't agree wit how I do this I get straight, meditate, like a Buddhist I'm droppin' flavor, 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 dope beat, and it'll make ya think Some s**ers just tickle me pink, to my stomach 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, well I'm droppin' English Even if Yella, makes it a-capella I still express, yo I don't smoke weed or sess Cause its known to give a brother brain damage And brain damage on the mic don't manage nuttin' But makin' a s**er and you equal Don't be another sequel [Hook] Express yourself Do it good Express yourself Oh do it [Ice-Cube Interlude] Ice Cube, is not for the pop charts So where should a brother like you start expressin' yourself My boy'll show you how Yo Dre [Dr. Dre] What up? [Ice Cube] Drop English right about... [Verse 2: Dr. Dre] 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 ya on the other end Watch 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 'em to be But not me Ruthless, is the way to go, they know Others say rhymes that fail to be original Or they k** where the hip-hop starts Forget about the ghetto, and rap for the pop charts And those 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 d**, and take a stand But after the show they go lookin for the dope man Oh 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) [Hook] Express yourself Do it do... Express yourself Oh do it! (MC Ren Interlude) A lyricist, yo Dre is the name for it To make somethin' dope on a record that's what he came for Kickin' reality yo but staying hisself But it's important to keep it in mind to (express yourself) [Verse 3: Dr. Dre] From the heart if you wanna start to move up the chart then Expression is big part of it You ain't efficient when you flow, you ain't swift Movin' like a tortise, full of rigor mortise 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 you're 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, NWA is the lynch mob Yes I'm macabre, but you know you need this And the knowledge is growin' just like a fetus Or a tumor, but here's the rumour, Dre's 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, I need a straight jacket I got knowledge, and other s**ers 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 (express yourself) [Hook] Express Yourself Do it good... Express Yourself Oh do it
