Don’t Sweat the Technique

[00:07.89] Don't sweat the technique

[00:17.13] Don't sweat the technique

[00:26.88] Let's trace the hits and check the file

[00:29.13] Let's see who bit to detect the style

[00:31.38] I flip the script so they can't get foul

[00:33.62] At least not now, it'll take a while

[00:35.88] I change the pace to complete the beat

[00:38.13] I drop the bass 'til MCs get weak

[00:40.13] For every word they trace, it's a scar they keep

[00:42.62] 'Cause when I speak, they freak to sweat the technique

[00:45.63] I made my debut in '86

[00:47.87] With a melody and a President's mix

[00:50.38] And now I stay on target and refuse to miss

[00:53.13] And I still make hits with beats

[00:55.12] Parties, clubs, in the cars and jeeps

[00:57.62] My underground sound vibrates the streets

[00:59.38] MCs wanna beef, then I play for keeps

[01:02.38] When they sweat the technique

[01:11.38] Don't sweat the technique

[01:11.62] Don't sweat the technique

[01:21.36] They wanna know how many rhymes have I ripped and wrecked

[01:24.10] But researchers never found all the pieces yet

[01:26.36] Scientists try to solve the context

[01:28.36] Philosophers are wondering what's next

[01:30.62] Pieces are took to labs to observe 'em

[01:32.86] They couldn't absorb 'em, they didn't deserve 'em

[01:35.11] My ideas are only for the audience's ears

[01:38.11] For my opponents, it might take years

[01:39.87] Pencils and pens are swords

[01:41.62] Letters put together from a key to chords

[01:43.86] I'm also a sculpture, formed with structure

[01:46.10] Because of my culture, I'm equipped to construct the

[01:48.36] Technical styles that'll be full of technology

[01:50.86] Complete sights and new heights after I get deep

[01:53.36] You don't have to speak, just seek

[01:56.36] And peep the technique

[02:05.86] Never sweat the technique

[02:16.36] I speak indiscreet 'cause talk is cheap

[02:18.11] Then I get deep in the beat then complete the

[02:20.36] Poem's physique, never weak or obsolete

[02:22.87] They never grow old, techniques become antiques

[02:25.11] Better then something brand new 'cause it's real

[02:27.11] And in a while the style’ll have much more value

[02:29.61] Classical, too intelligent to be radical

[02:31.86] Masterful, never irrelevant, mathematical

[02:34.11] Here's some soothing souvenirs

[02:36.11] For all the years, you fought and sought the thoughts and ideas

[02:38.61] It's cool when you freak to the beat

[02:42.11] But don't sweat the technique

[02:46.61] Never sweat the technique

[02:51.36] Don't sweat the technique

[03:12.61] Don't sweat the technique
