High Voltage

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
