Yo, yo
Forfeit the game

Before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame

Puts your name to shame
Cover up your face

You can't run the race
The pace is too fast
You just won't last

You love the way I look at you
While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through

You take away if I give in
My life, my pride is broken

You like to think you're never wrong
(You like to think you're never wrong)

You have to act like you're someone
(You have to act like you're someone)

You want someone to hurt like you
(You want someone to hurt like you)

You want to share what you've been through
(You live what you've learned)

You love the things I say I'll do
The way I'll hurt myself again just to get back at you

You take away when I give in
My life, my pride is broken

You like to think you're never wrong
(You like to think you're never wrong)

You have to act like you're someone
(You have to act like you're someone)

You want someone to hurt like you
(You want someone to hurt like you)

You want to share what you've been through
You live what you've learned

Yo, yo
Forfeit the game
Before somebody else

Takes you out of the frame
Puts your name to shame

Cover up your face
You can't run the race

The pace is too fast
You just won't last

Forfeit the game
Before somebody else

Takes you out of the frame (frame)
Puts your name to shame

Cover up your face
(You) You can't run the race
The pace is too fast
You just won't last

(You like to think you're never wrong)

You have to act like you're someone

Myself
Myself

What do I do to ingore them behind me?
Do I follow my instincts blindly?

Do I hide my pride from these bad dreams
And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening?
Do I sit here and try to stand it?

Or do I try to catch them red-handed?
Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness?

Or do I trust nobody and live in lonliness?
Because I can't hold on when I'm stretched so thin
I make the right moves but I'm lost within

I put on my daily facade but then
I just end up getting hurt again

By myself
Myself

I ask why
But in my mind I find
I can't rely on myself

Myself
I ask why
But in my mind I find
I can't rely on myself

I can't look around
It's too much to take in

I can't hold back
When I'm stretched so thin
I can't slow down

Watching everything spin
I can't look back
Starting over again

If I turn my back I'm defenceless
And to go blindly seems senceless

If I hide my pride and let it all go on
Then they'll take from me 'til everything is gone
If I let them go I'll be outdone

But if I try to catch them I'll be outrun
If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer
Then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer

By myself
Myself

I ask why
But in my mind I find
I can't rely on myself
Myself

I ask why
But in my mind I find
I can't rely on myself

I can't look around
It's too much to take in
I can't hold back

When I'm stretched so thin
I can't slow down

Watching everything spin
I can't look back
Starting over again

Don't you know
I can't tell you how to make it go
No matter what I do, how hard I try

I can't seem to convince myself why
I'm stuck on the outside

Don't you know
I can't tell you how to make it go
No matter what I do, how hard I try

I can't seem to convince myself why
I'm stuck on the outside

Don't you know
I can't tell you how to make it go
No matter what I do, how hard I try

I can't seem to convince myself why
I'm stuck on the outside

Don't you know
I can't tell you how to make it go
No matter what I do, how hard I try

I can't seem to convince myself why
I'm stuck on the outside

Don't you know
I can't tell you how to make it go

No matter what I do, how hard I try
I can't seem to convince myself why
I'm stuck on the outside

Don't you know
I can't tell you how to make it go

No matter what I do, how hard I try
I can't seem to convince myself why
I'm stuck on the outside

3. H!VLTG3

Sometimes
Hybrid

I've been digging into crates
Ever since I was living in space
Before the ratrace

Before monkeys had human traits
I mastered numerology

And Big Bang theology
Performed lobotomies
With telekinetic psychology
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 in double-helixes
To show them what I'm made of
I buckle knees like leg-braces

Cast a spell of instrumentalness on 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 onto a promise

I stomp s**t with or without an accomplice
And run the gauntlet with whoever that wants this

High voltage
This is the unforgettable sound
High voltage

Bringing you up and taking you down
High voltage

Coming at you from every side
High voltage

Making the rhythm and rhyme collide

Akira
I put a kink in the backbones of clones with microphones
Never satisfied my rhyme jones

Spraying bright day over what you might say
My blood-type's Krylon, Technicolour Type-A
On highways, right 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 things

Sing songs, karaoke, copy, bulls**t
Break bones verbally with sticks-and-stones 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, sixteen-line-a-rhyme missile

While you risk your all
I pick out all your flaws

Spin rah, blah, blah, blah
You can say you saw

High voltage
This is the unforgettable sound
High voltage

Bringing you up and taking you down
High voltage

Coming at you from every side
High voltage

Making the rhythm and rhyme collide

High voltage
This is the unforgettable sound
High voltage

Bringing you up and taking you down
High voltage

Coming at you from every side
High voltage

Making the rhythm and rhyme collide

Who's the man demanding you hand over your Land Rover?
No man's bolder than the Pharoahe when he jams
The plan's over

I inflict sclerosis
The most ferocious
Why I spy, my third eye, extremely high voltage
That's why I need Ruby Quartz glasses

'Cause when I glance there's a chance I might blast the masses
Subliminals trasmitted through piano
Integrated in flow

Calculated to nano
I use skills when I need
Please head the rhyme I hear when I plead when I proceed through time

I walk through walls an inanimate obsticles
Via induced reduction of cells and molecules
I bring the knowledge
You swallow the state

That's a hologram
I box your head
Fatten your lip like Collogen

A telepath to deliver verses with no postage
Pharoahe Monch, Mike Shinoda
We high voltage

High voltage
This is the unforgettable sound
High voltage

Bringing you up and taking you down
High voltage

Coming at you from every side
High voltage

Making the rhythm and rhyme collide

High voltage
This is the unforgettable sound
High voltage

Bringing you up and taking you down
High voltage

Coming at you from every side
High voltage
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide
