Lyrics

[ti:don't sweat the technique]
[ar:eric b]
[00:08.799] Don't sweat the technique
[00:17.719] Don't sweat the technique
[00:27.599] Let's trace the hints and check the file
[00:29.669] Let see who bit to detect the style
[00:31.789] I flip the script so they can't get foul
[00:34.289] At least not now it'll take a while
[00:36.449] I change the pace to complete the beat
[00:38.739] I drop the bass 'till mc's get weak
[00:40.999] For every word they trace it's a scar they keep
[00:43.219] 'cause when i speak they freak
[00:44.829] To sweat the technique
[00:45.659] I made my debut in '86
[00:48.669] Wit a melody and a president's mix
[00:50.869] And now i stay on target and refuse to miss
[00:53.839] And i still make hits
[00:56.69] Wit'beats parties clubs in the cars and jeeps
[00:58.509] My underground sound vibrates the streets
[01:00.69] Mc's wanna beef then i play for keeps
[01:02.779] When they sweat the technique
[01:12.179] Don't sweat the technique
[01:21.859] They wanna know how many rhymes have i ripped in rep but
[01:24.699] Researchers never found all the pieces yet
[01:26.929] Scientists try to solve the context
[01:29.129] Philosophers are wondering what's next
[01:31.879] Pieces are took to last who observe them
[01:34.89] They couldn't absorb them they didn't deserve them
[01:35.989] For my opponents it might take years
[01:37.839] Pencils and pens are swords
[01:40.589] Letters put together form a key to chords
[01:44.329] I'm also a sculpture born with structure
[01:46.659] Because of my culture i'm a rip and destruct the
[01:49.149] Difficult styles that'll be for the technology
[01:51.249] Complete sights and new heights after i get deep
[01:54.659] You don't have to speak just seek
[01:57.49] And peep the technique
[02:06.559] But don't sweat the technique
[02:16.789] I speak indiscreet cause talk is cheap
[02:18.959] Then i get deep and the weak then complete their
[02:21.389] Pull with a seat never weak or obsolete
[02:23.559] They never grow old techniques become antiques
[02:25.579] Better then something brand new 'cause it's radiant
[02:28.59] And the wild style'll have much more volume
[02:30.439] Classical too intelligent to be radical
[02:31.999] Masterful never irrelevant mathematical
[02:33.169] Here's some soothing souvenirs for all the years
[02:36.979] They fought and sought the thoughts and ideas
[02:38.879] It's cool when you freak to the beat
[02:42.209] But don't sweat the technique
[02:47.559] Don't sweat the technique
[02:51.839] Don't sweat the technique
