NWA- Express Yourself [ Dirty ] chords
Start Jamming...
Yo man, there's a lot of brothers out there flaking and perpetrating but scared to kick reality.
Yo Dre, you been doing all this dope producing, you had a chance to show them what time it is.
So what you want me to do?
Do.
[Eb]
[E]
[Eb] I'm a person with my full [Ab] capabilities, and now I'm [Eb] living in correctional trillities.
Cause some don't agree with how I do this.
[Ab] I get [Eb] straight and meditate like a Buddhist.
I'm dropping play but my behavior is [Ab] hereditary.
But [Eb] my technique is very necessary.
Blame it on ice cubes because [Ab] they said it get funky.
[Eb] When you got a subject and a predicate added on it's own beat, then it'll [Ab] make you think.
Some [Eb] kids just tickle me big to my stomach cause they don't flow like [Abm] this one.
You know what?
I won't [Eb] hesitate to kiss one or two before I'm through.
So don't try to [Ab] sing this.
I'm drop sign.
[Bb] Well I'm dropping [B] English.
Even if [Gm] yella, makes it acapella.
I still express yo, I don't smoke weed.
It's a sex [Gb] cause it's known to give a brother [G] brain damage.
And brain damage on the mic don't manage nothing.
But making a sucker and you equal, don't [D] be another sequel.
[Eb] Spread the snail.
[Ab] Screw the deal.
[Eb]
Spread the snail.
[Ab] [Eb]
Ice cube, it's not for the [Ab] pop chart.
[Bb] So when should a [Ebm] brother like you start expressing yourself my [B] boy and show you [Ab] how.
Yo Trek, [Eb] drop English right about now.
Getting back to the [Ab] PG.
That's [Eb] programmed and it's easy.
Dre is back, new jacks are made [Ab] hollow.
It's fascinating to [Eb] subject because they like to follow the words, the style, the trend.
The records [Ab] are thin again and [Eb] again and again.
Yo, you're on the other end.
Watch your brother blend.
Don't rhyme with [Ab] no help.
There's no [Eb] reason to get them while I'm expressing myself.
It's crazy to see people [Ab] be what society [Eb] wants them to be but not me.
Ruthless is the way to go.
[Ab] Some say no.
Others say [Eb] rhymes with sound to be original.
Or they hear where the hip hop [Ab] starts.
Forget about the ghetto.
They [Eb] rap for the pop charts.
So some musicians just at [Ab] home, just get to use propensity.
Wearing 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 and take a stance.
But after the show, they go looking for the [Eb] dope man.
Or they ban my crew from the radio here in W.A. and say hell no.
But you know what it ain't all about.
[Ab] Well, as long as you [Eb] make a note to
Spread the sound.
[Ab] Do it, girl.
[Eb]
Spread the sound.
[Ab] Spread the [Eb] sound.
A lyricist.
Your trade's the [Ab] name for.
To make something dope [Eb] what a record labeled he came for.
Kicking reality, yo, for saying it's [Ab] self.
But it's important that you [Ebm] keep it in mind too.
Spread the [Abm] sound.
From the heart, cause if you want to start to [Gm] move up the chart,
then expression is a big part of it.
You ain't [E] efficient when you flow.
You ain't swift moving like a tortoise.
[Bbm] Full of rigor mortis.
[Ebm] Just a little bit more to show.
[Ab] I got rhymes in my [Eb] mind embedded like an embryo.
Or a lesson.
All of them [Ab] expression.
And if you start [Eb] fessing, I got a smith and wesson for you.
I might ignore your record because it [Ab] has no bottom.
I get [Eb] loose in the summer, winter, spring.
And all this tray on the mic getting [Ab] physical.
Doing a [Eb] job in W.A. is the lynch mob.
It's a macabre.
But you know you [Ab] need this.
And the [Eb] knowledge is growing just like a fetus.
Or a tumor, which is the [Ab] rumor.
Dre's in the [Eb] neighborhood and he's up to no good.
When I start [N] expressing myself, y'all a slam it.
Cause if I stay folky like this, I'm doing damage.
Now I'm a be too hype and need a [Bb] straight jacket.
I got [Eb] knowledge and other suckers lack it.
So when you see Dre, a DJ [Ab] on the mic, ask what it's [Eb] like.
It's like we're getting hyped tonight.
Cause if it's right, it ain't for you.
[Ab] Good help, but I won't [Eb] strike if you just spread the sound.
[Ab] [Eb] You just spread the sound, [Ab] [Eb]
spread the sound, spread [Ab] the sound, spread the [Eb] sound.
[Ab] [G]
