Express Yourself
Charles W. Wright
Yo man, there's a lot of brothers out there
Flaking and perpetrating but scared to kick reality
Man, you been doing all this dope producing
You ain't had a chance to show 'em what time it is
So what you want me to do?
(Express yourself)
I'm expressing with my full capabilities
And now I'm living in correctional facilities
'Cause some don't agree with how I do this
I get straight and meditate like a Buddhist
I'm dropping flavor, 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 dropping English
Even if Yella, makes it a-capella
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, nothing
But making a sucker and you equal
Don't be another sequel (express yourself)
(Express yourself)
(Go on and do it)
(Express yourself)
(Express yourself)
(Go on and do it)
Now, getting back to the PG
That's program, and it's easy
Dre is back, new jacks are made hollow
Expressing ain't their 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 fessing or guessing while I'm expressing 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 cuss 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 looking for the "Dopeman"
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)
(Express yourself)
(Go on and do it)
(Express yourself)
(Express yourself)
(Go on and do it)
(Express yourself) From the heart
'Cause if you want to 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 'em expression
And if you start fessing, I got a Smith and Wesson 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, getting physical
Doin' the job, N.W.A is the lynch mob
Yes I'ma climb, but you know you need this
And the knowledge is growing 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 expressing myself, Yella, slam it
'Cause if I stay funky like this I'm doing damage
Or I'ma 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 getting hyped tonight
'Cause if I strike, it ain't for your good health
But I won't strike if you just (express yourself)
(Express yourself)
(Go on and do it)
(Express yourself)
(Express yourself)
(Go on and do it)
(Express yourself)
(Go on and do it)
(Go on and do it)
Yo man, there's a lot of brothers out there
Hé mec, il y a beaucoup de frères là-bas
Flaking and perpetrating but scared to kick reality
Faisant semblant et perpétuant mais ayant peur de donner un coup de pied à la réalité
Man, you been doing all this dope producing
Mec, tu as fait toute cette dope produisant
You ain't had a chance to show 'em what time it is
Tu n'as pas eu l'occasion de leur montrer ce qu'est le temps
So what you want me to do?
Alors que veux-tu que je fasse?
(Express yourself)
(Exprime-toi)
I'm expressing with my full capabilities
Je m'exprime avec toutes mes capacités
And now I'm living in correctional facilities
Et maintenant je vis dans des établissements correctionnels
'Cause some don't agree with how I do this
Parce que certains ne sont pas d'accord avec ma façon de faire
I get straight and meditate like a Buddhist
Je me mets droit et médite comme un bouddhiste
I'm dropping flavor, my behavior is hereditary
Je laisse tomber la saveur, mon comportement est héréditaire
But my technique is very necessary
Mais ma technique est très nécessaire
Blame it on Ice Cube, because he said it gets funky
Blâmez-le sur Ice Cube, parce qu'il a dit que ça devient funky
When you got a subject and a predicate
Quand tu as un sujet et un prédicat
Add it on a dope beat, and it'll make you think
Ajoute-le sur un beat dope, et ça te fera réfléchir
Some suckers just tickle me pink, to my stomach
Certains imbéciles me font juste rire, jusqu'à mon estomac
'Cause they don't flow like this one
Parce qu'ils ne coulent pas comme celui-ci
You know what? I won't hesitate to diss one
Tu sais quoi? Je n'hésiterai pas à en dissuader un
Or two before I'm through, so don't try to sing this
Ou deux avant d'avoir fini, alors n'essaie pas de chanter ça
Some drop science, while I'm dropping English
Certains lâchent de la science, pendant que je lâche de l'anglais
Even if Yella, makes it a-capella
Même si Yella, le fait a cappella
I still express, yo, I don't smoke weed or sess
Je m'exprime toujours, yo, je ne fume pas de weed ou de sess
'Cause it's known to give a brother brain damage
Parce qu'on sait que ça peut causer des dommages cérébraux à un frère
And brain damage on the mic don't manage, nothing
Et les dommages cérébraux au micro ne gèrent rien
But making a sucker and you equal
Mais faire un imbécile et toi égal
Don't be another sequel (express yourself)
Ne sois pas une autre suite (exprime-toi)
(Express yourself)
(Exprime-toi)
(Go on and do it)
(Vas-y et fais-le)
(Express yourself)
(Exprime-toi)
(Express yourself)
(Exprime-toi)
(Go on and do it)
(Vas-y et fais-le)
Now, getting back to the PG
Maintenant, revenons au PG
That's program, and it's easy
C'est le programme, et c'est facile
Dre is back, new jacks are made hollow
Dre est de retour, les nouveaux jacks sont creux
Expressing ain't their subject because they like to follow
L'expression n'est pas leur sujet parce qu'ils aiment suivre
The words, the style, the trend, the records I spin
Les mots, le style, la tendance, les disques que je fais tourner
Again and again and again, yo, you're on the other end
Encore et encore et encore, yo, tu es à l'autre bout
Watch a brother blend dope rhymes, with no help
Regarde un frère mélanger des rimes dope, sans aide
There's no fessing or guessing while I'm expressing myself
Il n'y a pas de fessée ou de devinette pendant que je m'exprime
It's crazy to see people be
C'est fou de voir les gens être
What society wants them to be, but not me
Ce que la société veut qu'ils soient, mais pas moi
Ruthless, is the way to go, they know
Sans pitié, c'est la voie à suivre, ils savent
Others say rhymes which fail to be original
D'autres disent des rimes qui échouent à être originales
Or they kill where the hip-hop starts
Ou ils tuent là où le hip-hop commence
Forget about the ghetto, and rap for the pop charts
Oubliez le ghetto, et rappez pour les pop charts
Some musicians cuss at home
Certains musiciens jurent à la maison
But scared to use profanity when upon the microphone
Mais ont peur d'utiliser des grossièretés lorsqu'ils sont au micro
Yeah, they want reality, but you will hear none
Ouais, ils veulent la réalité, mais tu n'en entendras aucune
They'd rather exaggerate a little fiction
Ils préfèrent exagérer un peu de fiction
Some say no to drugs, and take a stand
Certains disent non aux drogues, et prennent position
But after the show, they go looking for the "Dopeman"
Mais après le spectacle, ils vont chercher le "Dopeman"
Or they ban my group from the radio
Ou ils interdisent mon groupe à la radio
Hear N.W.A. and say, "Hell no"
Entendez N.W.A. et dites, "Enfer non"
But you know it ain't all about wealth
Mais tu sais que ce n'est pas tout à propos de la richesse
As long as you make a note to (express yourself)
Tant que tu fais une note pour (exprime-toi)
(Express yourself)
(Exprime-toi)
(Go on and do it)
(Vas-y et fais-le)
(Express yourself)
(Exprime-toi)
(Express yourself)
(Exprime-toi)
(Go on and do it)
(Vas-y et fais-le)
(Express yourself) From the heart
(Exprime-toi) Du fond du cœur
'Cause if you want to start to move up the chart
Parce que si tu veux commencer à monter dans le classement
Then expression is a big part of it
Alors l'expression en est une grande partie
You ain't efficient when you flow, you ain't swift
Tu n'es pas efficace quand tu coules, tu n'es pas rapide
Movin' like a tortoise, full of rigor mortis
Bougeant comme une tortue, plein de rigor mortis
There's a little bit more to show
Il y a un peu plus à montrer
I got rhymes in my mind, embedded like an embryo
J'ai des rimes dans ma tête, incrustées comme un embryon
Or a lesson, all of 'em expression
Ou une leçon, toutes sont des expressions
And if you start fessing, I got a Smith and Wesson for ya
Et si tu commences à te vanter, j'ai un Smith et Wesson pour toi
I might ignore your record because it has no bottom
Je pourrais ignorer ton disque parce qu'il n'a pas de fond
I get loose in the summer winter spring and autumn
Je me lâche en été hiver printemps et automne
It's Dre on the mic, getting physical
C'est Dre au micro, devenant physique
Doin' the job, N.W.A is the lynch mob
Faisant le travail, N.W.A est le lynch mob
Yes I'ma climb, but you know you need this
Oui, je vais grimper, mais tu sais que tu en as besoin
And the knowledge is growing just like a fetus
Et la connaissance grandit comme un fœtus
Or a tumor, but here is the rumor
Ou une tumeur, mais voici la rumeur
Dre is in the neighborhood and he's up to no good
Dre est dans le quartier et il ne fait rien de bon
When I start expressing myself, Yella, slam it
Quand je commence à m'exprimer, Yella, claque-le
'Cause if I stay funky like this I'm doing damage
Parce que si je reste funky comme ça, je fais des dégâts
Or I'ma be too hyped, and need a straight jacket
Ou je vais être trop excité, et avoir besoin d'une camisole de force
I got knowledge, and other suckers lack it
J'ai de la connaissance, et d'autres en manquent
So, when you see Dre, a DJ on the mic
Alors, quand tu vois Dre, un DJ au micro
Ask what it's like, it's like we're getting hyped tonight
Demande comment c'est, c'est comme si on se chauffait ce soir
'Cause if I strike, it ain't for your good health
Parce que si je frappe, ce n'est pas pour ta bonne santé
But I won't strike if you just (express yourself)
Mais je ne frapperai pas si tu te contentes de (t'exprimer)
(Express yourself)
(Exprime-toi)
(Go on and do it)
(Vas-y et fais-le)

Yo man, there's a lot of brothers out there
Cara, tem muitos irmãos por aí
Flaking and perpetrating but scared to kick reality
Fingindo e perpetrando, mas com medo de chutar a realidade
Man, you been doing all this dope producing
Cara, você tem feito toda essa produção de drogas
You ain't had a chance to show 'em what time it is
Você não teve a chance de mostrar a eles o que é
So what you want me to do?
Então, o que você quer que eu faça?
(Express yourself)
(Expresse-se)
I'm expressing with my full capabilities
Estou me expressando com todas as minhas capacidades
And now I'm living in correctional facilities
E agora estou vivendo em instalações correcionais
'Cause some don't agree with how I do this
Porque alguns não concordam com a forma como eu faço isso
I get straight and meditate like a Buddhist
Eu fico direto e medito como um budista
I'm dropping flavor, my behavior is hereditary
Estou soltando sabor, meu comportamento é hereditário
But my technique is very necessary
Mas minha técnica é muito necessária
Blame it on Ice Cube, because he said it gets funky
Culpe o Ice Cube, porque ele disse que fica funky
When you got a subject and a predicate
Quando você tem um sujeito e um predicado
Add it on a dope beat, and it'll make you think
Adicione isso a uma batida de droga, e isso fará você pensar
Some suckers just tickle me pink, to my stomach
Alguns otários apenas me fazem rir, até o estômago
'Cause they don't flow like this one
Porque eles não fluem como este
You know what? I won't hesitate to diss one
Sabe de uma coisa? Não hesitarei em desrespeitar um
Or two before I'm through, so don't try to sing this
Ou dois antes de terminar, então não tente cantar isso
Some drop science, while I'm dropping English
Alguns soltam ciência, enquanto eu estou soltando inglês
Even if Yella, makes it a-capella
Mesmo se Yella, faz a capella
I still express, yo, I don't smoke weed or sess
Eu ainda me expresso, yo, eu não fumo maconha ou sess
'Cause it's known to give a brother brain damage
Porque é conhecido por causar danos cerebrais em um irmão
And brain damage on the mic don't manage, nothing
E danos cerebrais no microfone não gerenciam nada
But making a sucker and you equal
Mas fazer de um otário e você igual
Don't be another sequel (express yourself)
Não seja outra sequência (expresse-se)
(Express yourself)
(Expresse-se)
(Go on and do it)
(Vá em frente e faça)
(Express yourself)
(Expresse-se)

Now, getting back to the PG
Agora, voltando ao PG
That's program, and it's easy
Esse é o programa, e é fácil
Dre is back, new jacks are made hollow
Dre está de volta, novos jacks são feitos vazios
Expressing ain't their subject because they like to follow
Expressar não é o assunto deles porque eles gostam de seguir
The words, the style, the trend, the records I spin
As palavras, o estilo, a tendência, os discos que eu toco
Again and again and again, yo, you're on the other end
De novo e de novo e de novo, yo, você está na outra ponta
Watch a brother blend dope rhymes, with no help
Assista a um irmão misturar rimas de droga, sem ajuda
There's no fessing or guessing while I'm expressing myself
Não há confissão ou adivinhação enquanto eu me expresso
It's crazy to see people be
É louco ver as pessoas serem
What society wants them to be, but not me
O que a sociedade quer que elas sejam, mas não eu
Ruthless, is the way to go, they know
Impiedoso, é o caminho a seguir, eles sabem
Others say rhymes which fail to be original
Outros dizem rimas que falham em ser originais
Or they kill where the hip-hop starts
Ou eles matam onde o hip-hop começa
Forget about the ghetto, and rap for the pop charts
Esqueça o gueto, e faça rap para as paradas pop
Some musicians cuss at home
Alguns músicos xingam em casa
But scared to use profanity when upon the microphone
Mas têm medo de usar palavrões quando estão no microfone
Yeah, they want reality, but you will hear none
Sim, eles querem realidade, mas você não ouvirá nenhuma
They'd rather exaggerate a little fiction
Eles preferem exagerar um pouco de ficção
Some say no to drugs, and take a stand
Alguns dizem não às drogas, e tomam uma posição
But after the show, they go looking for the "Dopeman"
Mas depois do show, eles vão procurar o "Dopeman"
Or they ban my group from the radio
Ou eles banem meu grupo do rádio
Hear N.W.A. and say, "Hell no"
Ouça N.W.A. e diga, "Inferno não"

(Express yourself) From the heart
(Expresse-se) Do coração
'Cause if you want to start to move up the chart
Porque se você quer começar a subir no gráfico
Then expression is a big part of it
Então a expressão é uma grande parte disso
You ain't efficient when you flow, you ain't swift
Você não é eficiente quando flui, você não é rápido
Movin' like a tortoise, full of rigor mortis
Movendo-se como uma tartaruga, cheio de rigidez cadavérica
There's a little bit more to show
Há um pouco mais para mostrar
I got rhymes in my mind, embedded like an embryo
Eu tenho rimas na minha mente, embutidas como um embrião
Or a lesson, all of 'em expression
Ou uma lição, todas elas expressão
And if you start fessing, I got a Smith and Wesson for ya
E se você começar a confessar, eu tenho um Smith e Wesson para você
I might ignore your record because it has no bottom
Eu posso ignorar seu disco porque ele não tem fundo
I get loose in the summer winter spring and autumn
Eu me solto no verão inverno primavera e outono
It's Dre on the mic, getting physical
É Dre no microfone, ficando físico
Doin' the job, N.W.A is the lynch mob
Fazendo o trabalho, N.W.A é a máfia de linchamento
Yes I'ma climb, but you know you need this
Sim, eu vou subir, mas você sabe que precisa disso
And the knowledge is growing just like a fetus
E o conhecimento está crescendo como um feto
Or a tumor, but here is the rumor
Ou um tumor, mas aqui está o rumor
Dre is in the neighborhood and he's up to no good
Dre está no bairro e ele está aprontando
When I start expressing myself, Yella, slam it
Quando eu começo a me expressar, Yella, bate
'Cause if I stay funky like this I'm doing damage
Porque se eu ficar funky assim, estou causando danos
Or I'ma be too hyped, and need a straight jacket
Ou eu vou ficar muito animado, e precisarei de uma camisa de força
I got knowledge, and other suckers lack it
Eu tenho conhecimento, e outros otários não têm
So, when you see Dre, a DJ on the mic
Então, quando você vê Dre, um DJ no microfone
Ask what it's like, it's like we're getting hyped tonight
Pergunte como é, é como se estivéssemos animados esta noite
'Cause if I strike, it ain't for your good health
Porque se eu atacar, não é para o seu bem
But I won't strike if you just (express yourself)
Mas eu não vou atacar se você apenas (expresse-se)

Add it on a dope beat, and it'll make you think
Füge es auf einen dope Beat, und es wird dich zum Nachdenken bringen
Some suckers just tickle me pink, to my stomach
Einige Trottel kitzeln mich rosa, zu meinem Magen
'Cause they don't flow like this one
Denn sie fließen nicht wie dieser
You know what? I won't hesitate to diss one
Weißt du was? Ich werde nicht zögern, einen zu dissen
Or two before I'm through, so don't try to sing this
Oder zwei, bevor ich fertig bin, also versuche nicht, das zu singen
Some drop science, while I'm dropping English
Einige lassen Wissenschaft fallen, während ich Englisch fallen lasse
Even if Yella, makes it a-capella
Auch wenn Yella es a-cappella macht
I still express, yo, I don't smoke weed or sess
Ich drücke immer noch aus, yo, ich rauche kein Gras oder Sess
'Cause it's known to give a brother brain damage
Denn es ist bekannt, dass es einem Bruder Hirnschäden zufügt
And brain damage on the mic don't manage, nothing
Und Hirnschäden am Mikrofon bewältigen nichts
But making a sucker and you equal
Aber einen Trottel und dich gleich machen
Don't be another sequel (express yourself)
Sei nicht eine weitere Fortsetzung (drück dich aus)
(Express yourself)
(Drück dich aus)
(Go on and do it)
(Mach weiter und tu es)
(Express yourself)
(Drück dich aus)

Now, getting back to the PG
Jetzt, zurück zum PG
That's program, and it's easy
Das ist Programm, und es ist einfach
Dre is back, new jacks are made hollow
Dre ist zurück, neue Jacks sind hohl gemacht
Expressing ain't their subject because they like to follow
Ausdrücken ist nicht ihr Thema, weil sie gerne folgen
The words, the style, the trend, the records I spin
Die Worte, der Stil, der Trend, die Platten, die ich drehe
Again and again and again, yo, you're on the other end
Immer und immer und immer wieder, yo, du bist am anderen Ende
Watch a brother blend dope rhymes, with no help
Beobachte, wie ein Bruder dope Reime mischt, ohne Hilfe
There's no fessing or guessing while I'm expressing myself
Es gibt kein Geständnis oder Raten, während ich mich ausdrücke
It's crazy to see people be
Es ist verrückt zu sehen, wie Menschen sein können
What society wants them to be, but not me
Was die Gesellschaft von ihnen will, aber nicht ich
Ruthless, is the way to go, they know
Rücksichtslos ist der Weg, den sie kennen
Others say rhymes which fail to be original
Andere sagen Reime, die es versäumen, originell zu sein
Or they kill where the hip-hop starts
Oder sie töten, wo der Hip-Hop beginnt
Forget about the ghetto, and rap for the pop charts
Vergiss das Ghetto und rappe für die Pop-Charts
Some musicians cuss at home
Einige Musiker fluchen zu Hause
But scared to use profanity when upon the microphone
Aber haben Angst, Schimpfwörter zu benutzen, wenn sie am Mikrofon sind
Yeah, they want reality, but you will hear none
Ja, sie wollen Realität, aber du wirst keine hören
They'd rather exaggerate a little fiction
Sie übertreiben lieber ein wenig Fiktion
Some say no to drugs, and take a stand
Einige sagen nein zu Drogen und nehmen Stellung
But after the show, they go looking for the "Dopeman"
Aber nach der Show suchen sie den "Dopeman"
Or they ban my group from the radio
Oder sie verbieten meine Gruppe im Radio
Hear N.W.A. and say, "Hell no"
Hören N.W.A. und sagen "Hölle nein"
But you know it ain't all about wealth
Aber du weißt, es geht nicht nur um Reichtum
As long as you make a note to (express yourself)
Solange du eine Notiz machst, um dich auszudrücken (drück dich aus)
(Express yourself)
(Drück dich aus)
(Go on and do it)
(Mach weiter und tu es)
(Express yourself)
(Drück dich aus)
(Express yourself)
(Drück dich aus)
(Go on and do it)
(Mach weiter und tu es)
(Express yourself) From the heart
(Drück dich aus) Von Herzen
'Cause if you want to start to move up the chart
Denn wenn du anfangen willst, in der Tabelle aufzusteigen
Then expression is a big part of it
Dann ist Ausdruck ein großer Teil davon
You ain't efficient when you flow, you ain't swift
Du bist nicht effizient, wenn du fließt, du bist nicht schnell
Movin' like a tortoise, full of rigor mortis
Bewegung wie eine Schildkröte, voller Totenstarre
There's a little bit more to show
Es gibt noch ein bisschen mehr zu zeigen
I got rhymes in my mind, embedded like an embryo
Ich habe Reime in meinem Kopf, eingebettet wie ein Embryo
Or a lesson, all of 'em expression
Oder eine Lektion, alle von ihnen Ausdruck
And if you start fessing, I got a Smith and Wesson for ya
Und wenn du anfängst zu gestehen, habe ich eine Smith und Wesson für dich
I might ignore your record because it has no bottom
Ich könnte deine Platte ignorieren, weil sie keinen Boden hat
I get loose in the summer winter spring and autumn
Ich werde locker im Sommer, Winter, Frühling und Herbst
It's Dre on the mic, getting physical
Es ist Dre am Mikrofon, wird physisch
Doin' the job, N.W.A is the lynch mob
Macht den Job, N.W.A ist der Lynchmob
Yes I'ma climb, but you know you need this
Ja, ich werde klettern, aber du weißt, du brauchst das
And the knowledge is growing just like a fetus
Und das Wissen wächst wie ein Fötus
Or a tumor, but here is the rumor
Oder ein Tumor, aber hier ist das Gerücht
Dre is in the neighborhood and he's up to no good
Dre ist in der Nachbarschaft und er ist nichts Gutes
When I start expressing myself, Yella, slam it
Wenn ich anfange, mich auszudrücken, Yella, knall es
'Cause if I stay funky like this I'm doing damage
Denn wenn ich so funky bleibe, mache ich Schaden
Or I'ma be too hyped, and need a straight jacket
Oder ich werde zu aufgeregt sein und brauche eine Zwangsjacke
I got knowledge, and other suckers lack it
Ich habe Wissen, und andere Trottel fehlen es
So, when you see Dre, a DJ on the mic
Also, wenn du Dre siehst, einen DJ am Mikrofon
Ask what it's like, it's like we're getting hyped tonight
Frag, wie es ist, es ist, als ob wir heute Abend aufgeregt werden
'Cause if I strike, it ain't for your good health
Denn wenn ich zuschlage, ist es nicht für deine gute Gesundheit
But I won't strike if you just (express yourself)
Aber ich werde nicht zuschlagen, wenn du dich einfach ausdrückst (drück dich aus)
(Express yourself)
(Drück dich aus)

Yo man, there's a lot of brothers out there
Ehi amico, ci sono un sacco di fratelli là fuori
Flaking and perpetrating but scared to kick reality
Fingendo e perpetrando ma spaventati a calciare la realtà
Man, you been doing all this dope producing
Amico, hai fatto tutta questa produzione di droga
You ain't had a chance to show 'em what time it is
Non hai avuto la possibilità di mostrare loro che ora è
So what you want me to do?
Quindi cosa vuoi che faccia?
(Express yourself)
(Esprimi te stesso)
I'm expressing with my full capabilities
Mi sto esprimendo con tutte le mie capacità
And now I'm living in correctional facilities
E ora vivo in strutture correttive
'Cause some don't agree with how I do this
Perché alcuni non sono d'accordo con il mio modo di fare
I get straight and meditate like a Buddhist
Vado dritto e medito come un buddista
I'm dropping flavor, my behavior is hereditary
Sto lasciando cadere il sapore, il mio comportamento è ereditario
But my technique is very necessary
Ma la mia tecnica è molto necessaria
Blame it on Ice Cube, because he said it gets funky
Incolpa Ice Cube, perché ha detto che diventa funky
When you got a subject and a predicate
Quando hai un soggetto e un predicato
Add it on a dope beat, and it'll make you think
Aggiungilo su un ritmo di droga, e ti farà pensare
Some suckers just tickle me pink, to my stomach
Alcuni succhiatori mi fanno solo ridere rosa, allo stomaco
'Cause they don't flow like this one
Perché non fluiscono come questo
You know what? I won't hesitate to diss one
Sai cosa? Non esiterò a dissing uno
Or two before I'm through, so don't try to sing this
O due prima di finire, quindi non provare a cantare questo
Some drop science, while I'm dropping English
Alcuni lasciano cadere la scienza, mentre io sto lasciando cadere l'inglese
Even if Yella, makes it a-capella
Anche se Yella, lo rende a cappella
I still express, yo, I don't smoke weed or sess
Mi esprimo ancora, yo, non fumo erba o sess
'Cause it's known to give a brother brain damage
Perché si sa che dà al fratello danni al cervello
And brain damage on the mic don't manage, nothing
E i danni al cervello al microfono non gestiscono, niente
But making a sucker and you equal
Ma fare un sucker e tu sei uguale
Don't be another sequel (express yourself)
Non essere un altro sequel (esprimi te stesso)
(Express yourself)
(Esprimi te stesso)

Questo è il programma, ed è facile
Dre is back, new jacks are made hollow

Expressing ain't their subject because they like to follow
Esprimersi non è il loro argomento perché amano seguire
The words, the style, the trend, the records I spin

Again and again and again, yo, you're on the other end
Ancora e ancora e ancora, yo, sei dall'altra parte
Watch a brother blend dope rhymes, with no help

È pazzesco vedere le persone essere

Ciò che la società vuole che siano, ma non io
Ruthless, is the way to go, they know
Senza pietà, è la strada da percorrere, lo sanno
Others say rhymes which fail to be original
Altri dicono rime che non riescono ad essere originali
Or they kill where the hip-hop starts
O uccidono dove inizia l'hip-hop
Forget about the ghetto, and rap for the pop charts
Dimentica il ghetto, e rappare per le classifiche pop
Some musicians cuss at home
Alcuni musicisti bestemmiano a casa
But scared to use profanity when upon the microphone
Ma hanno paura di usare la profanità quando sono al microfono
Yeah, they want reality, but you will hear none
Sì, vogliono la realtà, ma non ne sentirai nessuna
They'd rather exaggerate a little fiction
Preferiscono esagerare un po' di finzione
Some say no to drugs, and take a stand
Alcuni dicono no alle droghe, e prendono una posizione
But after the show, they go looking for the "Dopeman"

O una lezione, tutte espressioni
And if you start fessing, I got a Smith and Wesson for ya
E se inizi a fessing, ho un Smith e Wesson per te
I might ignore your record because it has no bottom
Potrei ignorare il tuo disco perché non ha fondo
I get loose in the summer winter spring and autumn
Mi lascio andare in estate inverno primavera e autunno
It's Dre on the mic, getting physical
È Dre al microfono, diventando fisico
Doin' the job, N.W.A is the lynch mob
Fare il lavoro, N.W.A è la lynch mob
Yes I'ma climb, but you know you need this
Sì, sto salendo, ma sai che ne hai bisogno

Dre is in the neighborhood and he's up to no good
Dre è nel quartiere e sta combinando guai
When I start expressing myself, Yella, slam it
Quando inizio a esprimermi, Yella, sbattilo
'Cause if I stay funky like this I'm doing damage
Perché se rimango funky così sto facendo danni
Or I'ma be too hyped, and need a straight jacket
O sarò troppo esaltato, e avrò bisogno di una camicia di forza
I got knowledge, and other suckers lack it
Ho la conoscenza, e altri succhiatori la mancano
So, when you see Dre, a DJ on the mic
Quindi, quando vedi Dre, un DJ al microfono
Ask what it's like, it's like we're getting hyped tonight
Chiedi com'è, è come se stessimo diventando iped stasera
