High Voltage

Lyrics

You know what I mean? You could put a label on a life
 Put a label on a lifestyle (sometimes)
 You know? Put a label on how you wake up every morning
 And go to bed at night (hybrid)
 I've been diggin' into crates ever since I was livin' in space
 Before the rat race, before monkeys had human traits
 I mastered numerology and Big Bang theology
 Performed lobotomies with telekinetic psychology
 Invented the mic so I could start blessin' it
 Chin checkin' kids to make my point like an Impressionist
 Many men have tried to shake us
 But I twist mic cords in double helixes and show them what I'm made of
 I buckle knees like leg braces
 Cast the spell of instrumental-ness and all of you emcees who hate us
 So you can try on, leave you without a shoulder to cry on
 From now to infinity, let icons be bygones
 I fire bomb, ghostly notes haunt this
 I tried threats but moved on to a promise
 I stomp sh— with or without an accomplice
 And run the gauntlet with whoever that wants this
 High voltage (the unforgettable sound)
 High voltage (bringing you up and taking you down)
 High voltage (coming at you from every side)
 High voltage (making the rhythm and rhyme collide)
 Akira, I put a kink in the backbones of clones with microphones
 Never satisfy my rhyme jones
 Sprayin' bright day over what you might say
 My blood type's Krylon technicolor type A
 On highways, ride with road rage
 Cages of wind and cages of tin that bounce all around
 Surround sound, devouring the scene
 Subliminal gangrene paintings over while the same thing
 Sing song karaoke copy bullsh—
 Break bones verbally with sticks and stone tactics
 Fourth dimension, combat convention
 Write rhymes at ease while the track stands at attention
 Meant to put you away with the pencil, pistol, official
 16 line a rhyme missile
 While you risk your all, I pick out all your flaws
 Spin rah, blah-blah-blah, you can say you saw
 High voltage (the unforgettable sound)
 High voltage (bringing you up and taking you down)
 High voltage (coming at you from every side)
 High voltage (making the rhythm and rhyme collide)
 High voltage (the unforgettable sound)
 High voltage (bringing you up and taking you down)
 High voltage (coming at you from every side)
 High voltage (making the rhythm and rhyme collide)
 And like the rock and rap, you know what I mean?
 People actin' like, you know
 "Wow, that's a new invention, that sh— brand new"
 We're constantly evolving, it is constantly changing (sometimes)
 There's a lot of change
 Everybody's always tryna put labels
 There ain't no label for this sh—
 They're always gonna try to put a label on it
 Try to create something so they can water it down
 Sometimes I feel like a prophet
 Misunderstood, under the gun, like a new disease
 Sometimes I feel like a prophet
 Misunderstood, under the gun, like a new disease
 High voltage (the unforgettable sound)
 High voltage (bringing you up and taking you down)
 High voltage (coming at you from every side)
 High voltage (making the rhythm and rhyme collide)
 High voltage (the unforgettable sound)
 High voltage (bringing you up and taking you down)
 High voltage (coming at you from every side)
 High voltage (making the rhythm and rhyme collide)
 High voltage (the unforgettable sound)
 High voltage (bringing you up and taking you down)
 High voltage (coming at you from every side)
 High voltage (making the rhythm and rhyme collide)
 High voltage (the unforgettable sound)
 High voltage (bringing you up and taking you down)
 High voltage (coming at you from every side)
 High voltage (making the rhythm and rhyme collide)
 You know what I mean? You can put a label on a lifestyle
