Express Yourself

Let us shock dem with reality, a reality shock

Some a dem a chat too much triviality

No mek dem shape you and mould you

Don't ever let dem try to control you

You ain't got to be who dey want you to be

You do you and I'll do me

Trying to be the best we can be

You ain't got to be who dey told you to be

You do you and I'll do me

Trying to be everything we can be

So express yourself

My youth feel free to express yourself

No time at all you no fi stress yourself

And depress yourself

Bless yourself and express yourself

Express yourself

Everyone is free to express yourself

Empress you don't need to undress yourself

To express yourself

Be more and never less yourself

They want to hold us, control us

They want to shape and mould us

Inna dis ya twisted ideology dem sold us

Take your time and don't rush and never lose your focus

Nuff a the things they tell you is important is just bogus

Question what they told us, instinctively we don't trust dem

Cause we done know seh dem greedy like a locust

Freedom of expression now is valued more than goldust

Dem no waan fi hear me sing me verse dem a me chorus

You ain't got to be who dey want you to be

You do you and I'll do me

Trying to be everything we can be

You ain't got to be who dey told you to be

We ain't got to be who they want us to be

Tell dem Mr. Man

Tell dem I'm an individual

I'm an original

Studying the spiritual, not only the physical

Don't be one dimensional and only watch the visual

Sometimes the message is subliminal

But everybody have only fi contribute don't waste it

It look like seh we really need to forward to basic

A one soul you get no microchip can replace it

And never let dem stop you from being creative

Express yourself

You can find a way to express yourself

So much things to say so express yourself

Don't suppress yourself

Bless yourself and express yourself

Express yourself

Everyone is free to express yourself

Empress you don't need to undress yourself

To express yourself

Be more and never less yourself

Some people seh who give dem the right fi

Come treat me like dem a the boss a we

We laugh inna dem face cah none a dem can talk to me

A who give dem the right fi come treat me like dem can keep I down

Dem feel like dem high and mighty dem can treat I like no clown

Me nah give dem no choice dem a hear

Me voice dem just can't silence me

Dem planning to step to me and get rid of me violently

But I man ready pon the battle dem can't frighten me

And none of dem could ever stifle me

Cause I will never be who they tell me to be, no

You do you and I'll do me

Trying to be everything I can be

I ain't gonna be who dey want me to be

Man a revolutionary

Let a whine to the reality
