Linkin Park — High Voltage B-Side Rarities

[Intro: Lee Cadena, Chester Bennington, Mike Shinoda] "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) [Verse 1: Mike Shinoda] 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 to 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 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 sh-, with or without an accomplice And run the gauntlet with whoever that wants this [Chorus: Mike Shinoda, Chester Bennington] (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: Mike Shinoda] (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, bright with road rage Pages 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 bull- 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' rah blah blah blah, you can say you saw [Chorus: Mike Shinoda, Chester Bennington] (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 (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 [Interlude: Lee Cadena, Chester Bennington] "And like the rock and rap, you know what I mean? People actin' like, you know, "Wow, that's a new invention!" That sh- ain't new We're constantly evolving It is constantly changing." (Sometimes) "There's a lot of change Everybody's always tryna to put labels on… There ain't no label for this shit They always gonna try to put a label on it Try to create somethin' so they could water it down" [Bridge: 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: Mike Shinoda, Chester Bennington] (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 (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 (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 (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: Lee Cadena] "You know what I mean? You can't put a label on a lifestyle."
