Chapter 4:
"High Voltage"
[Mike Shinoda:]
Just do something to tell you who I am, ya know?
[4x]
It's high voltage
You can't shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop
Check it out
I've been digging into crates ever since I was living in
space
Before the rat race, before monkeys had human traits
Mastered numerology and Big Bang theology
Performed lobotomies with telekinetic psychology
Invented the mic so I could start blessing it
And 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
I buckle knees like leg braces
Cast the spell of instrumentalness and all of the MCs that
hate us
So 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've tried threats but moved on to a promise
I stomp shit with or without an accomplice

The stamp of approval is on this

It's high voltage you can't shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
[Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda:]
Akira, put a kink in the backbones of clones with
microphones
Never satisfy my rhyme jones
Spraying bright day over what you might say
Blood type Krylon Technicolor type A
On highways right with road rage I'm patient to win
The cage and the tin to bounce all around
In surround sound devouring the scene
Subliminal gangrene paintings
Overall the same things sing songs karaoke copy madness
Break bones verbally with sticks and stone tactics
Fourth dimension, combat convention
Write rhymes at ease while the tracks stand at attention
(attention)
Meant to put you away with the pencil
Pistol, official, 16 line rhyme missile
While you risk your all, I pick out of your flaws
Spin, blah blah blah blah
You can say you saw
