[Verse 1]
Don't sweat the technique
Don't sweat the technique
[Verse 2]
Let's trace the hints and check the file
Let's see who bit the detective style
I flip the scripts so they can't get filed
At least not now, it'll take a while
I change the pace to complete the beat
I drop the bass, two MC's get weak
Fore every word they trace is a scar they keep
Cause when I speak, they freak, they sweat the technique
[Verse 3]
I made my debut in '86
With a Melody and a President's mix
And now I stay on target and refuse to miss
And I still make hits with beats
For parties, clubs, and for cars and Jeeps
My underground sound vibrates the streets
MC's wanna beef then I play for keeps
When they sweat the technique
[Verse 4]
Don't sweat the technique
[Verse 5]
They wanna know how many rhymes have I ripped and wrecked
But researchers never found all the pieces yet
Scientists try to solve the context
Philosophers are wonderin' what's next
Pieces are took to labs to observe 'em
They couldn't absorb 'em, they didn't deserve 'em
My ideas are only for the audience ears
For my opponents, it might take years
[Verse 6]
Pencils, pens are swords
Letters put together from a key to chords
I'm also a sculpture, formed with structure
Because of my culture, I'm equipped to destruct you
Technical style that'll be full of technology
Complete sights and new heights after I get deep
You don't have to speak, just seek
And peep the technique
[Verse 7]
Well, don't sweat the technique
Don't sweat the technique
[Verse 8]
Well, don't sweat the technique
[Verse 9]
I speak indiscreet 'cause talk is cheap
Then I get deep in the beat then complete
The form and physique, never weak or obsolete
They never grow old, techniques become antiques
Better than somethin' brand new 'cause this is real
And in a while, the style'll have much more value
Classical, too intelligent to be radical
Masterful, never irrelevant, mathematical
Here's some soothin' souvenirs for all the years
You fought and sought the thoughts and ideas
It's cool when you freak to the beat
But don't sweat the technique
[Verse 10]
Don't sweat the technique
Don't sweat the technique
Don't sweat the technique
Don't sweat the technique
And don't forget, peep the technique
[Verse 11]
Don't sweat the technique
Don't sweat the technique
Don't sweat the technique
Don't sweat the technique
