Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've been diggin' in the 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 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 you what I'm made of
I buckle knees like leg braces
Cast the spell of instrumental-ness on all of these MCs 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 firebomb, ghostly notes haunt this
I tried threats, but moved on to a promise
I stomp shit, with or without an accomplice
Run the gauntlet with whoever that wants this
[Chorus]
(High voltage) This is the unforgettable sound
(High voltage) Bringin' you up and takin' you down
(High voltage) Comin' at you from every side
(High voltage) Makin' the rhythm and rhyme collide
[Verse 2]
Akira
I put a kick 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 ripe with road rage
Cages of wind in cages of tin that bounce all around
Surround sound, devouring the scene
Subliminal gangrene paintings
Overall, 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 a pencil pistol official
Sixteen line, the rhyme missile
While you risk your all, I pick out all your flaws
Spittin' raw, blah bla-blah, you can say you saw
[Chorus]
(High voltage) This is the unforgettable sound
(High voltage) Bringin' you up and takin' you down
(High voltage) Comin' at you from every side
(High voltage) Makin' the rhythm and rhyme collide
[Chorus]
(High voltage) This is the unforgettable sound
(High voltage) Bringin' you up and takin' you down
(High voltage) Comin' at you from every side
(High voltage) Makin' the rhythm and rhyme collide
[Bridge]
Sometimes
Sometimes
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
[Chorus]
(It's high voltage) This is the unforgettable sound
(High voltage) Bringin' you up and takin' you down
(High voltage) Comin' at you from every side
(High voltage) Makin' the rhythm and rhyme collide
[Chorus]
(High voltage) This is the unforgettable sound
(High voltage) Bringin' you up and takin' you down
(High voltage) Comin' at you from every side
(High voltage) Yo, everybody, let's see your hands up like this
[Chorus]
(High voltage) This is the unforgettable sound
(High voltage) Bringin' you up and takin' you down
(High voltage) Comin' at you from every side
(High voltage) Makin' the rhythm and rhyme collide
[Chorus]
(High voltage) This is the unforgettable sound
(High voltage) Bringin' you up and takin' you down
(High voltage) Comin' at you from every side
(High voltage) Makin' the rhythm and rhyme collide
[Outro]
Thank you guys very much
