High Voltage (2nd Version)
"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..."

I’ve been diggin into crates ever since I was livin in spaceBefore the ratrace, before monkeys had human traitsI mastered numerology and bigbang theologyPerformed lobotomies with telekinetic psychologyInvented the mic so I could start blessin itChincheckin kids to make my point like an impressionistMany men have tried to shake usBut I twist mic cords in double helixes and show them what I’m made ofI buckle knees like leg bracesCast the spell of instrumental-ness and all of you emcees who hate usSo you can try on,Leave you without a shoulder to cry onFrom now to infinity let icons be bygonesI fire bomb ghostly notes haunt thisI tried threats but moved on to a promiseI stomp shit with or without an accompliceAnd run the gauntlet with whoever that wants this

"And like the rock and rap -you know what i mean- people act like you know "Wow that’s a new invention ! That shit's brand new !We're constantly evolving, it is constantly changing.(Sometimes...)There's a lot of change. Everybody's always up with labels, there ain’t no label for this shit.They're always gonna try to put a label on it, try to create something so they can water it down."
