Donât sweat the technique
Donât sweat the technique
Letâs trace the hints and check the file
Let see who bit to detect the style
I flip the script so they canât get foul
At least not now, itâll take a while
I change the pace to complete the beat
I drop the bass âtil MCâs get weak
For every word they trace, itâs a scar they keep
âCause when I speak, they freak to sweat the technique
I made my debut in â86
Wit a melody and a presidentâs mix
And now I stay on target and refuse to miss
And I still make hits
With beats, parties, clubs in the cars and jeeps
My underground sound vibrates the streets
MCâs wanna beef then I play for keeps
When they sweat the technique
Donât sweat the technique
They wanna know how many rhymes have I ripped in rep
But researchers never found all the pieces yet
Scientists try to solve the context
Philosophers are wondering when, whatâs next
Pieces are took to last who observe them
They couldnât absorb them, they didnât deserve them
My ideas are only for the audienceâs ears
For my opponents, it might take years
Pencils and pens are swords
Letters put together form a key to chords
Iâm also a sculpture born with structure
Because of my culture Iâm a rip and destruct the
Difficult styles thatâll be for the technology
Complete sights and new heights after I get deep
You donât have to speak just seek
And peep the technique
But donât sweat the technique
I speak indiscreet âcause talk is cheap
Then I get deep and the weak then complete their
Pull with a seat, never weak or obsolete
They never grow old techniques become antiques
Better then something brand new âcause itâs radiant
And the wild styleâll have much more volume
Classical too intelligent to be radical
Masterful, never irrelevant mathematical
Hereâs some soothing souvenirs for all the years
They fought and sought, the thoughts and ideas
Itâs cool when you freak to the beat
But donât sweat the technique
Donât sweat the technique
Donât sweat the technique
