Testo Express Yourself - N.W.A
Testo della canzone Express Yourself (N.W.A), tratta dall'album Nation Rap
Yo, man, it's a lot of brothers out there flakin'
And perpetratin', but scared to kick reality
Yo, Dre, you've been doin' all this dope producin'
You haven't had a chance to show 'em what time it is
So what you want me to do?
All you got to do now is 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' flavor, my behavior is hereditary
But my technique is very necessary
Blame it on Ice Cube, because he said it get 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, well, I'm droppin' English
Even if Yella makes it a cappella
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 nothin'
But makin' a sucker and you equal
Don't be another sequel
Express yourself
Do it good
Express yourself
Oh, do it
Stop playin'
Ice Cube is not for the pop chart
So where should a brother like you start?
Expressin' yourself, my boy, I'll show you how
Yo, Dre (What up?), drop English right about now
Gettin' back to the PG
That's program, and it's easy
Dre is back, new jacks are made hollow
Expressin' ain't the 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
Watch a brother blend 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
Though some musicians cuss at home
Too scared to use profanity when up on 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 dope man
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
Do it good
Express yourself
Oh, do it
A lyricist, yo, Dre is the name for it
I make somethin' dope on a record, that's what he came for
Kickin' reality overstayin' itself
But it's important that you keep it in mind to (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 them expression
And if you start fessin', I got a Smith & Wesson for you
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 Da Lench 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 rumor
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'ma be too hype and need a straitjacket
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' hype tonight
'Cause if I strike, it ain't for your good health
But I won't strike if you just
Express yourself
Do it good
Express yourself
Oh, do it
Express yourself
Express yourself, express yourself
Express yourself, express yourself
Express yourself
Oh, do it
Express yourself
Express yourself
