Express Yourself

About Express Yourself

"Express Yourself" is a song by English musician Labrinth. Written by Labrinth and Charles Wright, it was released as the fourth single from his debut studio album, Electronic Earth on 7 May 2012. It interpolates "Express Yourself" by Charles Wright & the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band, which was the same song sampled by N. W. A. in their 1988 song of the same name, and the famous drum break from James Brown's "Funky Drummer". Labrinth premiered the song live during the results show of the fourth live-semi final of the sixth series of Britain's Got Talent, on 9 May 2012. Maxumi Magazine commented that the track demonstrates "Labrinth's Kanye West like ability to make cracking use of samples that pay homage to their originators whilst forming the basis for inventive new tunes". Don Diablo remixed the single, due to be released as part of the digital EP, but he later revealed via his SoundCloud that the remix missed the deadline and therefore was not included on the iTunes package. This song is featured in a Windows 8 commercial. more »

I say the same thing twice I'm awkward when I speak
Ain't got the perfect smile don't turn heads on my street
Trying to be a superstar like everybody else
But being myself is something I do well
Whatever you do, do it good
Whatever you do, do, do, do, lord, lord, lord
Do it good, alright

Express yourself, express yourself, whoa do it
See it's not what you look like, when you doing what you doing
Express yourself, whoa do it
I don't make the papers I am far from JLS (JLS)
Ain't got the x factor I'm not what they expect (Listen)
But it won't be long before my turn is next, to express
Now without you expect
See whatever I do, I do it good
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
So whatever you do, do, do, do, lord, lord, lord
Do it good,

Express yourself, express yourself, whoa do it
See it's not what you look like, when you doing what you doing
Express yourself, whoa do it

Loose myself in time, tearing too high
Shooting what you got, whoa
It's nothing wrong with perfect and perfect
Now it's your time to shine
Express yourself, click your fingers now
Express yourself, come on,

See it's not what you look like, when you doing what you doing
Express yourself, whoa do it
See it's not what you look like, when you doing what you doing
Express yourself, come on now, yeah, come on, now,
Come on now, yeah, come on, now,
Come on now, yeah, come on, now,
Come on now, yeah, come on, now
