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
