_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
I'm a person with my own [Ab] capabilities, and now I'm [Eb] living in correctional facilities.
Cause some don't agree with how I [Ab] do this.
I get [Eb] straight and meditate like a Buddhist.
I'm sure for flavor my behavior is [Ab] hereditary, but [Eb] my technique is very necessary.
Blame it on Ice Cube, because [Ab] he said it ain't funky.
[Eb] When you got a subject and a predicate, add it on and go big, and it'll [Ab] make you think.
Some [Eb] suckers just tickle me big to my stomach, cause they don't float like [Ab] this one.
You know [Eb] what?
I won't hesitate to diss one or two before I'm through, so don't try to [Ab] sing this.
Some drop fine, while [Bb] I'm dropping English.
[Cm] Even if Yella makes it acapella, I still express yo, I don't smoke weed.
Obsessed, cause there's no negative about the [Em] brain damage, and brain damage on the mic don't manage [F] nothing.
From making a sucker and you equal, don't be another [Eb] sequel.
Spread the sound.
_ _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] _
Spread the sound.
_ _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] Ice Cube, it's not for the [Ab] pop charts.
So [Eb] when should a brother like you start expressing yourself, my boy, and show you [Ab] how you'll track?
[Eb] Drop English right about now.
Getting back to the [Ab] PG, that's [Eb] programmed, and it's easy.
Dre is back, [Ab] new jacks are made hollow.
It's fascinating to [Eb] subjects because they like to follow the words, the style, the trend.
The records [Ab] are thin, again and again [Eb] and again.
Yo, you're on the other end, watch your brother blend.
Don't rhyme with [Ab] no help.
Just [Eb] confessing or guessing while I'm expressing myself.
It's crazy to see people [Ab] feed what society [Eb] wants them to be, but not me.
Ruthless is the way to go, [Ab] they know.
Others say [Eb] rhymes are sell to be original.
Or they care whether hip-hop [Ab] stars forget about the [Eb] ghetto and rap for the pop charts.
So some musicians at [Ab] home, they're scared to use brutality.
They keep winning up on the [N] microphone, yeah, they want reality.
But you hear none, they'd rather exaggerate a little fiction.
Some say, no to drugs, they take a stand.
But after the show, they go looking for the [Eb] dope man.
For the fan, my crew from the radio here in W.A. can say, hell no.
But you know [Ab] what it ain't all about.
[Abm] Well, as long as you [Eb] make a note to spread the smell.
_ _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] Spread the smell.
_ _ _ [Ab] _ [Eb] _ _
A lyricist, your trade's a name [Ab] for.
To make something dope on [Eb] a record, that's what he came for.
Taking reality, overstanding stuff.
[Ab] But it's important that you keep [Eb] it in mind too.
[E] From the heart, because if you want to start to move up the chart,
then [N] expression is the big part of it.
You ain't efficient when you flow.
You ain't swift moving like a tortoise, full of rigor [Eb] mortis.
There's a little bit more to show.
[Ab] I got rhymes in my [Eb] mind, they're better like an embryo or a leptin.
All of them is [Abm] stretching and then you [Eb] start pressing.
I got a smith and wesson for you.
I might ignore your record because it has [Ab] no bottom.
I get [Eb] loose in the summer, winter, spring.
And all of this Dre on the mic getting [Ab] physical.
Doing a job [Eb] in W.A. is the lynch mob.
It's a macabre, but you know you need [Ab] this.
And the knowledge [Eb] is growing just like a fetus or a tumor.
When is the rumor?
[Ab] Dre's in the [Eb] neighborhood and he's up to no [G] good.
When I start expressing myself, y'all a slam it.
Because if I stay funky like this, I'm doing damage.
Now I'm a be too hype, and need a straight jacket.
I got knowledge, and other [Eb] suckers lack it.
So when you see Dre, a DJ on [Ab] the mic, ask what it's like.
[Eb] It's like we're getting hyped tonight.
Because if I strike, it ain't for you.
Good [Ab] help, but I won't strike [Eb] if you just spread the sound.
_ Who [Ab] is Dre?
[Eb] _
Spread the sound.
What [Ab] is Dre?
[Eb] _
Spread the sound.
What is Dre?
Where is Dre?
Spread the sound.
