Lyrics
0:03You know what I mean
0:04You could put a label on a life
0:05Put a label on a lifestyle
0:07Sometimes
0:07You know put a label on how you wake up every morning
0:09And go to bed at
0:10Night
0:10Alright
0:11I've been diggin' into crates ever since I was living in space
0:14Before the rat race before monkeys had human traits
0:16I mastered numerology and big bang theology
0:19Performed lobotomies with telekinetic psychology
0:22Invented the mic so I could start blessing it
0:24Chin-checkin' kids to make my point like an impressionist
0:27Many men have tried to shake us
0:29But I twist mic cords in double helixes and show them what I'm made of
0:32I buckle knees like leg braces
0:34Cast a spell of instrumentalness on all of you emcees who hate us
0:37So you can try on leave you without a shoulder to cry on
0:40From now to infinity let icons be bygones
0:42I firebomb ghostly notes haunt this
0:45I tried threats but moved on to a promise
0:47I stomp sh*t with or without an accomplice and
0:50Run the gauntlet with whoever that wants this
0:52High voltage
0:54The unforgettable sound
0:55High voltage
0:56Bringin' you up and taking you down
0:57High voltage
0:58Comin' at you from every side
1:00High voltage
1:01Making the rhythm and rhyme collide
1:02Akira I put a kick in the backbones of clones with microphones
1:06Never satisfy my rhyme jones
1:08Sprayin' bright day over what you might say
1:10My blood type's Krylon technicolor type A
1:13On highways bright with road rage
1:15Pages of wind in cages of tin that bounce all around
1:18Surround sound devouring the scene
1:20Subliminal gangrene paintings over all the same thing
1:23Sing-song karaoke copy bullshit
1:26Break bones verbally with sticks-and-stone tactics
1:28Fourth dimension combat convention
1:31Write rhymes at ease while the track stands at attention
1:33Meant to put you away with a pencil pistol official
1:36Sixteen-line the rhyme missile
1:38While you risk your all I pick out all your flaws
1:41Spittin' raw blah blah blah you can say you saw
1:43High voltage
1:45The unforgettable sound
1:46High voltage
1:47Bringin' you up and taking you down
1:48High voltage
1:49Comin' at you from every side
1:51High voltage
1:52Making the rhythm and rhyme collide
1:54High voltage
1:55The unforgettable sound
1:56High voltage
1:57Bringin' you up and taking you down
1:59High voltage
2:00Comin' at you from every side
2:01High voltage
2:02Making the rhythm and rhyme collide
2:05I like to rock and rap you know what I mean
2:07People are acting like you know wow that's a new invention
2:11That sh*t ain't new
2:12We're constantly evolving
2:13It is constantly changing sometimes
2:15There's a world of change
2:16Everybody's always trying to put labels on it
2:17There ain't no label for this sh*t
2:19They always gotta try to put a label on it
2:21Try to create something so they can water it down
2:25Sometimes I feel like a prophet misunderstood
2:30Under the gun like a new disease
2:35Sometimes I feel like a prophet misunderstood
2:40Under the gun like a new disease
2:45High voltage
