High Voltage (2nd Version)
"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 into crates
ever since I was living 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 blessing it
Chincheckin 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
to all of you emcees who hate us.
So you can try on.
Leave you without a shoulder to cry on
and 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 shit 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
[with] subliminal gangrene paintings
over while the same thing
sing song karaoke copy bullshit.
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'll 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 act like you know "Wow that’s a new invention ! That shit's brand new ! We're constantly evolving, it is constantly changing. (Sometimes...) There's a lot of change. Everybody's always up with labels, there ain’t no label for this shit. 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.
