| [Dr. Dre] | |
| Yo man there's a lot of brothers out there | |
| flakin and perpetratin but scared to kick reality | |
| [Ice Cube] | |
| Man, you been doin all this dope producin | |
| You ain't had a chance to show 'em what time it is | |
| [Dr. Dre] | |
| So what you want me to do? | |
| {Express yourself!} | |
| [Dr. Dre] | |
| 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 behaviour 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 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 a-capella | |
| I still express, yo, I don't smoke weed 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!} | |

| [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, you're on the other end | |
| Whatch a brother playin dope 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 upon 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 "Dopeman" | |
| 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..} | |
| [Dr. Dre] | |
| {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 '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, N.W.A is the lynch mob! | |
| Yes I'ma 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'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..} {*music fades*} |
