Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I 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
Chin-checking 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 a spell of instrumental-ness on all of you MC's that hate us
So you can try on, leave you without a shoulder to cry on
From now to infinity, let icons be bygones
I firebomb, ghostly notes haunt this
I tried threats, but moved on to a promise
I stomp **** with or without an accomplice
And run the gauntlet with whoever that wants this
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
I put a kink in the backbones of clones with microphones
Never satisfy my rhyme jones
Spraying bright day over what you might say
My blood type's Krylon, technicolor type A
On highways, write with road rage
Pages of wind and cages of tin that bounce all around
Surround sound, devouring the scenes
Subliminal gangrene paintings over all the same things
Singsong karaoke copy ****
Break bones verbally with sticks and stone tactics
Fourth dimension, combat convention
Write rhymes that ease while the track stands at attention
Meant to put you away with the pencil
Pistol official, sixteen line, a rhyme missile
While you risk your all, I pick out all your flaws
Spitting rah, blah, blah, blah, you can say you saw
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Who's the man demanding you hand over your Land Rover?
No man's bolder than Pharoahe, when he jams your plan's over
I inflict sclerosis, the most ferocious
When I spy, my third eye's extremely high voltage
That's why I need ruby quartz glasses
'Cause when I glance, there's a chance that I might blast the masses
Subliminals transmitted through piano
Integrated in flow, calculated in nano
I use skills when I need, please heed the rhyme
I heal when I bleed when I proceed through time
I walk through walls and inanimate obstacles
By inducing a reduction of cells and molecules
I bring the knowledge, you swallow a steak, that's the hologram
I box your head, fatten your lip like collagen
The telepath deliver verses with no postage
Pharoahe Monch, Mike Shinoda, we high voltage
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
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
