What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
[Dr. Dre]
2
Yo man there's a lot of brothers out there
3
Flaking and perpetrating but scared to kick reality
4
[Ice Cube]
5
Man, you been doing all this dope producing
6
You ain't had a chance to show 'em what time it is
7
[Dr. Dre]
8
So what you want me to do?
9
(Express yourself!)
10
[Dr. Dre]
11
I'm expressing with my full capabilities
12
And now I'm living in correctional facilities
13
Cause some don't agree with how I do this
14
I get straight and meditate like a Buddhist
15
I'm dropping flavor, my behavior is hereditary
16
But my technique is very necessary
17
Blame it on Ice Cube, because he said it gets funky
18
When you got a subject and a predicate
19
Add it on a dope beat, and it'll make you think
20
Some suckers just tickle me pink, to my stomach
21
Cause they don't flow like this one
22
You know what? I won't hesitate to diss one
23
Or two before I'm through, so don't try to sing this
24
Some drop science, while I'm dropping English
25
Even if Yella, makes it a-capella
26
I still express, yo, I don't smoke weed or sess
27
Cause it's known to give a brother brain damage
28
And brain damage on the mic don't manage, nothing
29
But making a sucker and you equal
30
Don't be another sequel (Express yourself!)
31
(Express yourself!)
32
(Go on and do it)
33
(Express yourself!)
34
(Express yourself!)
35
(Go on and do it)
36
[Dr. Dre]
37
Now, getting back to the PG
38
That's program, and it's easy
39
Dre is back, new jacks are made hollow
40
Expressing ain't their subject because they like to follow
41
The words, the style, the trend; the records I spin
42
Again and again and again, yo, you're on the other end
43
Watch a brother blend dope rhymes, with no help
44
There's no fessing or guessing while I'm expressing myself
45
It's crazy to see people be
46
What society wants them to be, but not me
47
Ruthless, is the way to go, they know
48
Others say rhymes which fail to be original
49
Or they kill where the hip-hop starts
50
Forget about the ghetto, and rap for the pop charts
51
Some musicians cuss at home
52
But scared to use profanity when upon the microphone
53
Yeah, they want reality, but you will hear none
54
They'd rather exaggerate a little fiction
55
Some say no to drugs, and take a stand
56
But after the show, they go looking for the "Dopeman"
57
Or they ban my group from the radio
58
Hear N.W.A. and say, "Hell no!"
59
But you know it ain't all about wealth
60
As long as you make a note to (Express yourself!)
61
(Express yourself!)
62
(Go on and do it)
63
(Express yourself!)
64
(Express yourself!)
65
(Go on and do it)
66
[Dr. Dre]
67
(Express yourself!) from the heart
68
Cause if you want to start to move up the chart
69
Then expression is a big part of it
70
You ain't efficient when you flow, you ain't swift
71
Movin like a tortoise, full of rigor mortis
72
There's a little bit more to show
73
I got rhymes in my mind, embedded like an embryo
74
Or a lesson, all of 'em expression
75
And if you start fessing, I got a Smith and Wessun for ya
76
I might ignore your record because it has no bottom
77
I get loose in the summer winter spring and autumn
78
It's Dre on the mic, getting physical
79
Doin' the job, N.W.A is the lynch mob!
80
Yes I'ma climb, but you know you need this
81
And the knowledge is growing just like a fetus
82
Or a tumor, but here is the rumor
83
Dre is in the neighborhood and he's up to no good
84
When I start expressing myself, Yella, slam it
85
Cause if I stay funky like this I'm doing damage
86
Or I'ma be too hyped, and need a straight jacket
87
I got knowledge, and other suckers lack it
88
So, when you see Dre, a DJ on the mic
89
Ask what it's like, it's like we're getting hyped tonight
90
Cause if I strike, it ain't for your good health
91
But I won't strike if you just (Express yourself!)
92
(Express yourself!)
93
(Go on and do it)
94
(Express yourself!)
95
(Express yourself!)
96
(Go on and do it)
97
(Express yourself!)
98
(Go on and do it)
99
(Go on and do it)
