0:08Don't sweat the technique
0:17Don't sweat the technique
0:27Lets trace the hints and check the file
0:29Let see who bit to detect the style
0:31I flip the script so they can't get foul.
0:33At least not now, itll take a while
0:36I change the pace to complete the beat
0:38I drop the bass,till mcs get weak.
0:40For every word they trace, its a scar they keep...
0:42Cause when I speak, they freak
0:44To sweat the technique
0:46I made my debut in 86
0:48Wit a melody and a presidents mix
0:49And now I stay on target and refuse to miss
0:53And I still make hits
0:55Wit beats, parties, clubs, in the cars and jeeps
0:57My underground sound vibrates the streets
0:59Mcs wanna beef then I play for keeps
1:02When they sweat the technique
1:11Don't sweat the technique
1:21They wanna know how many rhymes have I ripped in rep., but
1:23Researchers never found all the pieces yet
1:26Scientists try to solve the context
1:28Philosophers are wondering what's next
1:30Pieces are took to last who observe them
1:33They couldn't absorb them, they didnt deserve them
1:35My ideas are only for the audiences ears
1:38For my opponents, it might take years
1:40Pencils and pens, are swords
1:41Letters put together form a key to chords
1:43I'm also a sculpture, born with structure
1:46Because of my culture, I'm a rip and destruct the
1:49Difficult styles thatll be for the technology
1:51Complete sights and new heights after I get deep
1:54You don't have to speak just seek
1:57And peep the technique
2:06But don't sweat the technique
2:16I speak indiscreet cause talk is cheap
2:18Then I get deep and the weak then complete their
2:21Pull with a seat, never weak or obsolete
2:23They never grow old techniques become antiques
2:25Better then something brand new cause its radiant
2:27And the wild stylell have much more volume
2:29Classical too intelligent to be radical
2:32Masterful, never irrelevant: mathematical
2:34Heres some soothing souvenirs for all the years
2:37They fought, and sought, the thoughts and ideas
2:39Its cool when you freak to the beat
2:41But don't sweat the technique
2:46Don't sweat the technique
2:51Don't sweat the technique
Don't sweat the technique Don't sweat the technique Lets trace the hints and check the file Let see who bit to detect the style I flip the script so they can't get foul. At least not now, itll take a while I change the pace to complete the beat I drop the bass,till mcs get weak. For every word they trace, its a scar they keep... Cause when I speak, they freak To sweat the technique I made my debut in 86 Wit a melody and a presidents mix And now I stay on target and refuse to miss And I still make hits Wit beats, parties, clubs, in the cars and jeeps My underground sound vibrates the streets Mcs wanna beef then I play for keeps When they sweat the technique Don't 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 what's next Pieces are took to last who observe them They couldn't absorb them, they didnt deserve them My ideas are only for the audiences ears For my opponents, it might take years Pencils and pens, are swords Letters put together form a key to chords I'm also a sculpture, born with structure Because of my culture, I'm a rip and destruct the Difficult styles thatll be for the technology Complete sights and new heights after I get deep You don't have to speak just seek And peep the technique But don't sweat the technique I speak indiscreet cause 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 cause its radiant And the wild stylell have much more volume Classical too intelligent to be radical Masterful, never irrelevant: mathematical Heres some soothing souvenirs for all the years They fought, and sought, the thoughts and ideas Its cool when you freak to the beat But don't sweat the technique Don't sweat the technique Don't sweat the technique
