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 and double helixes
and show them what I'm made of.
I buckle knees like leg braces; cast a spell of instrumental-ness
and 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 bygones.
I fire bomb -- ghostly notes haunt this;
I tried threats; but moved on to a promise.
I stomp s*** with or without an accomplice;
and run the gauntlet with whoever that wants this.

High voltage...
(This is the unforgetable 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)

I put a kink 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, ride with road rage;
cages of wind and cages of tin that bounce all around--
Surround sound; devouring the scene--
Subliminal gangrene paintings -- overall the same thing.
Sing-song, karaoke copy bulls***; 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 the pencil-pistol-official;
16-lines a rhyme missle.
While you risk your all, I'll pick out all your flaws,
Spittin' rah-blah-blah-blah; you can say you saw...

High voltage...

Who's the man demandin' you hand over your Land Rover?
No man's bolder than the Pharoah when he jams your plans over.
I inflict sclerosis; the most ferocious--
when I spy my third-eye is 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 the reduction of cells and molecules.
I bring the knowledge; you swallow a steak that's a hologram--
I box your head, fatten your lip like Collagen.
The telepath delivers verses with no postage--
Pharaoh Monch, Mike Shinoda we high voltage.
