Erik B & Rakim Don't Sweat The Technique Lyrics

Let's trace the hints and check the fileLet see who bit
to detect the styleI flip the script so they can't get
foul.At least not now, it'll take a whileI change
the pace to complete the beatI drop the bass,'till
mc's get weak.For every word they trace, it's a
scar they keep...'Cause when I speak, they
freakTo sweat the techniqueI made my debut in
'86Wit a melody and a president's 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
streetsMC's wanna beef then I play for keepsWhen
they sweat the techniqueDon't 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 what's nextPieces are took to last who
observe themThey couldn't absorb them, they
didn't deserve themMy ideas are only for the
audience's earsFor my opponents, it might take
yearsPencils and pens, are swordsLetters put together
form a key to chordsI'm also a sculpture, born with
structureBecause of my culture, I'm a rip and destruct
theDifficult styles that'll be for the
technologyComplete sights and new heights after I get
deepYou don't have to speak just seekAnd peep the
techniqueBut don't 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
it's radiantAnd the wild style'll have much more
volumeClassical too intelligent to be
radicalMasterful, never irrelevant:
mathematicalHere's some soothing souvenirs for all the
yearsThey fought, and sought, the thoughts and
ideasIt's cool when you freak to the beatBut
don't sweat the techniqueDon't sweat the
technique (2x)
