Don't Sweat The Technique Lyrics

[00:07.89] Don't sweat the technique
[00:11.15]
[00:16.87] Don't sweat the technique
[00:20.19]
[00:26.36] Let's trace the hints and check the file
[00:28.83] Let see who bit to detect the style
[00:31.24] I flip the script so they can't get foul
[00:33.35] At least not now, it'll take a while
[00:35.72] I change the pace to complete the beat
[00:37.97] I drop the bass 'til MC's get weak
[00:39.79] For every word they trace, it's a scar they keep
[00:42.40] 'Cause when I speak, they freak to sweat the technique
[00:45.74] I made my debut in '86
[00:47.80] Wit a melody and a president's mix
[00:50.17] And now I stay on target and refuse to miss
[00:53.16] And I still make hits
[00:55.07] With beats, parties, clubs in the cars and jeeps
[00:57.17] My underground sound vibrates the streets
[00:59.33] MC's wanna beef then I play for keeps
[01:02.10] When they sweat the technique
[01:05.30]
[01:11.43] Don't sweat the technique
[01:14.66]
[01:20.80] They wanna know how many rhymes have I ripped in rep
[01:23.42] But researchers never found all the pieces yet
[01:26.03] Scientists try to solve the context
[01:28.34] Philosophers are wondering when, what's next
[01:30.64] Pieces are took to last who observe them
[01:32.81] They couldn't absorb them, they didn't deserve them
[01:35.26] My ideas are only for the audience's ears
[01:37.68] For my opponents, it might take years
[01:39.76] Pencils and pens are swords
[01:41.49] Letters put together form a key to chords
[01:43.57] I'm also a sculpture born with structure
[01:45.85] Because of my culture I'm a rip and destruct the
[01:48.18] Difficult styles that'll be for the technology
[01:50.74] Complete sights and new heights after I get deep
[01:53.52] You don't have to speak just seek
[01:56.22] And peep the technique
[01:59.27]
[02:05.88] But don't sweat the technique
[02:09.05]
[02:15.97] I speak indiscreet 'cause talk is cheap
[02:18.24] Then I get deep and the weak then complete their
[02:20.67] Pull with a seat, never weak or obsolete
[02:22.85] They never grow old techniques become antiques
[02:25.04] Better then something brand new 'cause it's radiant
[02:27.40] And the wild style'll have much more volume
[02:29.77] Classical too intelligent to be radical
[02:31.62] Masterful, never irrelevant mathematical
[02:34.17] Here's some soothing souvenirs for all the years
[02:36.33] They fought and sought, the thoughts and ideas
[02:38.98] It's cool when you freak to the beat
[02:41.51] But don't sweat the technique
[02:46.74] Don't sweat the technique
[02:51.12] Don't sweat the technique
[02:52.38]
