"Expression" by Salt-N-Pepa

You know life is all about expression
You only live once, and youre not coming back
So express yourself, yeah

CHORUS
Express yourself, you gotta be you and only you, babe
Express yourself, and let me be me
Express yourself, dont tell me what I cannot do, baby
Come on and work your body

Now Joe wanna be like Bob
Bob got it goin on with no job
And everything Rob got he got from Robin
And everything she got she got ho-hoppin
My girl Jilly wanna be like Jackie
Fat rope chains and I think thats wick-wacky
Tom and Dick wanna be like Harry
Little do they know hes bitin on Barry
Stan was a scam, but Vinnies legit
Mercedes coupe hometroop with no kit
A businessman with a beeper for a reason
Not like Tim because its in this season

CHORUS

Hey Pep, you up next

Yes, Im Pep and there aint nobody
Like my body, yes, Im somebody
No, Im sorry, Im-a rock this Mardis Gras
Until the party ends, friends
Yes, Im blessed, and I know who I am
I express myself on every jam
Im not a man, but Im in command
Hot damn, I got an all-girl band 
And I wear the gear, yeah, I wanna wear it, too
I dont care, dear, go ahead and stare 
Afraid to be you, livin in fear 
Expression is rare, I dare you

CHORUS

Yo, excuse us while we rap
Go ahead, girls, express yourself!

My party, your party, anytime drop in
Cold hip-hop is always rockin
Dont you like it when the music drop
Jump, spread out, and stop?
Now bring in the go-go 
Look at how my butt go rock from left to the right
You wanna step to me, groove me
I know you wanna do me
Come on now, fellas, dont fight

At my door theyre bum-rushin
To hear the percussion
Sound of my go-go band
Ive long ago learned my lesson
Its all about expression
Will the real Salt and Pepa please stand?
And...

Express yourself, youve got to be you, babe
Express yourself, and let me be me 
Express yourself, youve got to be you, babe
Express yourself, dont tell me what to do, babe
