Express Yourself Lyrics - Singles - Stretch Arm Strong

A lot of brothers out there been 

Flakin' and perpetratin' but scared to kick reality 

We been doin' all this dope producin' 

You ain't had a chance to show 'em what time it is 

Well what you want me to do? 

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' flava, 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 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 acapella 

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, nnothin' 

But makin a sucka and you equal 

Don't be another sequel 

Whoa! 

Express Yourself 

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 

Again and again and again, yo, you're on the other end 

Whatch 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 

Some musicians curse 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 Stretch Arm Strong say, "Hell no!" 

But you know it ain't all about wealth 

As long as you make a note to express yourself! 

Whoa! 

Express yourself 

Cause if you wanna start to move up the chart 

Then expression is a big part of it (a big part of it) 

Expression is a big part of it, a big part of it! 

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, Stretch Arm Strong is the lynch mob! 

Yes I'm a 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'm a 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! 

Whoa 

Come on and do it 

Come on and do it 

Express yourself!
