Eric B. & Rakim - Don't Sweat The Technique Lyrics
Dont sweat the technique(2x)Lets trace the hints and check the fileLet see who bit to detect the styleI flip the script so they cant get foul.At least not now, itll take a whileI change the pace to complete the beatI drop the bass,till mcs get weak.For every word they trace, its a scar they keep...cause when I speak, they freakTo sweat the techniqueI made my debut in 86Wit a melody and a presidents mixAnd now I stay on target and refuse to missAnd I still make hitsWit beats, parties, clubs, in the cars and jeepsMy underground sound vibrates the streetsMcs wanna beef then I play for keepsWhen they sweat the techniqueDont sweat the techniqueThey wanna know how many rhymes have I ripped in rep., butResearchers never found all the pieces yetScientists try to solve the contextPhilosophers are wondering whats nextPieces are took to last who observe themThey couldnt absorb them, they didnt deserve themMy ideas are only for the audiences earsFor my opponents, it might take yearsPencils and pens, are swordsLetters put together form a key to chordsIm also a sculpture, born with structureBecause of my culture, Im a rip and destruct theDifficult styles thatll be for the technologyComplete sights and new heights after I get deepYou dont have to speak just seekAnd peep the techniqueBut dont sweat the techniqueI speak indiscreet cause talk is cheapThen I get deep and the weak then complete theirPull with a seat, never weak or obsoleteThey never grow old techniques become antiquesBetter then something brand new cause its radiantAnd the wild stylell have much more volumeClassical too intelligent to be radicalMasterful, never irrelevant: mathematicalHeres some soothing souvenirs for all the yearsThey fought, and sought, the thoughts and ideasIts cool when you freak to the beatBut dont sweat the techniqueDont sweat the technique (2x)
