Continuing from last time, Sid asked Lisa, "ever heard of NWA?"
"Lots of hip hop lovers have," Ronnie Anne said.
"Well," Sid commented. "Lisa, how would you like to do a bit of NWA?"
"I would love to," Lisa said.
With Luna and the McBrides once more on instrumentals, Lisa was on vocals with a little help from Ronnie Anne and Lynn Junior. Here's Express Yourself by NWA.
[Intro] [Lisa and Lynn]
Lisa: Yo, man, it's a lot of brothers out there flakin' and perpetratin' but scared to kick reality
Lynn: Man, you've been doin' all this dope producing, but you ain't had a chance to show 'em what time it is
Lisa: So what you want me to do? ... (Express yourself)
Music intro
[Verse 1: Lisa]
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, 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 says it gets funky
When you got a subject and a predicate
Add it on a dope beat and that'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 dis one
Or two before I'm through, so don't try to sing this
Some drop science, well I'm dropping English
Even if Yella makes it a cappella
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
[Chorus] [Ronnie Anne and Lynn Junior]
Express yourself (Ah, ah, ah yeah, ah yeah, ah yeah, ah yeah)
Express yourself (Smoke, smoke)
Come on and do it (Yeah, kick it over here)
Express yourself (Do it, do it, [?])
Express yourself
Come on and do it
[Verse 2: Lisa]
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 on the other end
Watch a brother saying dope rhymes with no help
There's no fessing and 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 that 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 up on the microphone
Yeah, they want reality but you won't hear none
They 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…
[Chorus] [Ronnie Anne and Lynn Junior]
Express yourself (Yeah, yeah, yeah, [?])
Express yourself
Come on and do it (Yeah, yeah, do it)
Express yourself (Dr. Dre, Dr. Dre [?] and N.W.A)
Express yourself
Come on and do it
Express yourself
[Verse 3: Lisa]
From the heart cause if you wanna 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, moving 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 you
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
Doing the job, N.W.A is the lynch mob
Yes, I'm macabre but you know you need this
And the knowledge is growing, just like a fetus
Or a tumor but here's 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'mma 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 getting hype tonight
Cause if I strike, it ain't for your good health
But I won't strike if you just
[Outro: (Ronnie Anne) and Lynn Junior]
Express yourself (Yeah, yeah, this record's almost over, almost over, gotta get hyped up)
Express yourself (Do it, do it)
Come on and do it (Do it, do it, do it)
Express yourself (Compton's full of fakes, Compton's full of fakes, yeah)
Express yourself
Come on and do it (Do it, do it, do it)
Express yourself
Come on and do it (That's what she said, what she said)
Come on and do it
Come on and do it
Music wraps
"That was fun," Lynn Junior said to the others.
"Totally," Howard commented. "Harold and I must say Lisa. You sure know how to shoot some sick bars."
Lisa thanked the McBrides. "We should do this dope thing again someday."
The others were in total agreement.
"Well," Clyde said. "We better go. It's soon to be dinner time for us."
Carlota commented, "we should leave as well. Abuela's cooking is almost done."
With that everyone said goodbye, thus ending the video chat.
AN: Why do this one with Lisa and Lynn Junior? Well, West Coast Rap combines hip hop and electronic music into one. If you saw the literally groove filled episode "Really Loud Music", you would know Lisa loves West Coast Rap and Lynn Junior loves electronic music. I might do a one shot with Lisa and Lynn Junior in the coming future. Should I? Should I not? What do you think?
