Don't sweat the Technique(2x)
|
|
Let's 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, it'll take a while
|
I change the pace to complete the beat
|
I drop the bass,'till mc's get weak.
|
For every word they trace, it's 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 president's 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
|
MC's 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 didn't deserve them
|
My ideas are only for the audience's 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 that'll 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 it's radiant
|
And the wild style'll have much more volume
|
Classical too intelligent to be radical
|
Masterful, never irrelevant: mathematical
|
Here's some soothing souvenirs for all the years
|
They fought, and sought, the thoughts and ideas
|
It's cool when you freak to the beat
|
But don't sweat the technique
|
|
Don't sweat the technique (2x)
