High Voltage - B-Side Rarities

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 digging in the crates
 Ever since I was living in space
 Before the rat race, before monkeys had human traits
 I mastered numerology and big bang theology
 Preformed lobotomies with telekinetic psychology
 Invented the mic so I could start blessing it
 Chin-checking kids to make my point like an impressionist
 Many men have tried to shake us
 But I twist mic cords to double-helixes
 And show them what I'm made of
 I buckle knees like leg braces
 Cast a spell of instrumentalist on all of you MCs 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 bombs 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 what this is
 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)
 I put a kick in the backbones of clones with microphones
 Never satisfied my rhymes jones
 Spraying bright day over what you might say
 My blood type's Krylon, Technicolor Type-A
 On highways, bright with road rage
 Pages of wind in cages of tin that bounce all around
 (Surround sound)
 Devouring the scenes
 Subliminal gangrene paintings, overall the same thing
 Sings-song karaoke copy bullsh-
 Break bones verbally with stick and stones tactics
 Fourth dimension compact convention
 Write rhymes at ease while the track stands at attention
 Meant to put you away with a pencil pistol official
 Sixteen lines, a rhyme missile
 While you risk your all, I pick at all your flaws
 Spittin' 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- ain't new
 I'm constantly evolving
 It is constantly changing" (sometimes)
 "There's a lot of change
 Everybody's always tryna to put labels on
 There ain't no label for this sh-
 They always gonna try to put a label on it
 Try to create somethin' so they could water it down"
 Sometimes, I feel like a prophet
 Misunderstood and under the gun
 Like a new disease, disease, disease...
 Sometimes, I feel like a prophet
 Misunderstood and under the gun
 Like a new disease, disease, 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't put a label on a lifestyle"
