High Voltage Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][C]
[Em]You know what I mean
[D]You could put a label on a life
[Am]Put a label on a lifestyle
[Em](sometimes), you know
Put a label on
how you wake up every morning
And go to bed at night

[Verse 1]
I've been digging [Em]into 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
[Em]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 to double helixes
And show them what I'm made of
[Em]I buckle knees like leg braces
Cast the spell of instrumental-ness
on all of the MCs that hate us
So can try on,
leave you without a shoulder to cry on
From now to infinity let icons be bygones
[Em]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 1]
High [Em]voltage
The unforgettable sound
High [Am]voltage
Bringing you up and taking you down
High [Em]voltage
Coming at you from every side
High [B]voltage

[Verse 2]
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide
[Em]I put a kink in the backbones of clones
With mi[C]crophones,
never satisfy my rhyme [Am]jones
[G]Spraying bright day over what you might say
My blood [F#dim]type is Krylon, Technicolor type A
On [Em]highways, bright with road rage
Cages of [C]wind in cages of tin
that bounce all a[Am]round
Sur[G]round sound, devouring the scene
Subliminal [F#dim]gangrene paintings
overall the same thing
[B]Sing-song karaoke copy bullshit
[Em]Break bones verbally
with sticks-and-stone tac[Am]tics
Fourth dimension, combat convention
[Em]Write rhymes at ease
while the track stands at attention
[B]Meant to put you away
with the pencil, pistol, of[Em]ficial
Sixteen-line, a rhyme missile
[Am]While you risk your all,
I pick out all your flaws
Spin [B]rah blah blah blah, you can say you saw

[Chorus 2]
High [Em]voltage
The unforgettable sound
High [Am]voltage
Bringing you up and taking you down
High [G]voltage
Coming at you from every side
High [B]voltage
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide
High [Em]voltage
The unforgettable sound
High [Am]voltage
Bringing you up and taking you down
High [G]voltage
Coming at you from every side
High [B]voltage

[Verse 3]
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide
[B]And like the rock and rap
You know what I [Em]mean
People act like, you know
[F#dim]Wow, that's a new invention
That shit's ain't new
[Em]We're constantly evolving
It is constantly changing
[B]There's a lot of change
Everybody's always tryna put [Em]labels on it
It ain't no label for this shit
They always [F#dim]gotta try to put a label on it
Try to create something,
so [Em]they can water it down

[Bridge 1]
[B]Sometimes I feel like a pro[Em]phet
Misunder[F#dim]stood
Under the gun like a [Em]new disease
[B]Sometimes I feel like a pro[Em]phet
Misunder[F#dim]stood
Under the gun like a [B]new disease

[Chorus 3]
High [Em]voltage
The unforgettable sound
High [Am]voltage
Bringing you up and taking you down
High [G]voltage
Coming at you from every side
High [B]voltage
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide
High [Em]voltage
The unforgettable sound
High [Am]voltage
Bringing you up and taking you down
High [G]voltage
Coming at you from every side
High [B]voltage
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide
High [Em]voltage
The unforgettable sound
High [Am]voltage
Bringing you up and taking you down
High [G]voltage
Coming at you from every side
High [B]voltage
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide
High [Em]voltage
The unforgettable sound
High [Am]voltage
Bringing you up and taking you down
High [G]voltage
Coming at you from every side
High [B]voltage

[Outro 1]
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide
[Em]You know what I mean,
you can put a label on a lifestyle
[Fade out]
