[Mike Shinoda Excerpt]
|
You know what I mean
|
Try to 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 (Alright)
|
[Mike Shinoda]
|
I've been diggin' in the 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 into double helixes and show them what I'm made of
|
I buckle knees like leg braces
|
Cast a spell of instrumentalness on 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 bygons
|
I firebomb, 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
|
[Chorus]
|
High voltage
|
The unforgettable sound
|
High voltage
|
Bringin' you up and taking you down
|
High voltage
|
Comin' at you from every side
|
High voltage
|
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide
|
[Mike Shinoda Excerpt]
|
(Akira) I put a kink in the backbones of clones with microphones
|
And never satisfy my rhyme jones
|
Sprayin' bright day over what you might say
|
My blood type's krylon, technicolor type A
|
On highways, write with road rage
|
Pages of wind in cages of tin that bounce all around
|
+Surround sound+, devouring the scene
|
Subliminal gangrene paintings over all 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 blah blah you can say you saw
|
[Chorus]
|
[Mike Shinoda Excerpt]
|
I like to rock and rap, you know what I mean?
|
People are acting like, you know, "wow that's a new invention"
|
That shit thing, you know
|
We're constantly evolving
|
It is constantly changing (Sometimes)
|
There's a world of change
|
Everybody's always trying to put labels on it, there ain't no label for this
|
shit
|
They always gotta try to put a label on it
|
Try to create something so they can water it down
|
[Chester Bennington]
|
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 x3]
|
[Mike Shinoda Excerpt]
|
You know what I mean? You can't put a label on a lifestyle
|
