[Intro: Chester Bennington, Mike Shinoda, & (Grand Puba)]
Sometimes...
Hybrid
(Linkin Park)

[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]
I've been digging 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
To double helixes and show them what I'm made of

I buckle knees like leg braces
Cast a spell of instrumentalness on all of you MC's 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 shit with or without an accomplice
And run the gauntlet with whoever that wants this

[Chorus: Mike Shinoda]
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)

[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda]
Akira
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, ripe with road rage
Pages 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 bullshit
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 sixteen line the rhyme missile
While you risk your all, I pick out all your flaws
Spittin' raw blah blah blah, you can say you saw

[Chorus: Mike Shinoda]
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)

[Verse 3: Pharoahe Monch]
Who's the man demanding you hand over your Land Rover?
No man's bolder than Pharoahe, when he jams, your plan's over
I inflict sclerosis, the most ferocious
When I spy, my third eye's 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 a reduction of cells and molecules

I bring the knowledge, you swallow a steak, that's a hologram
I boxed your head, fattened your lip like Collagen
A telepath, deliver verses with no postage
Pharoahe Monch, Mike Shinoda, we high voltage

[Chorus: Mike Shinoda]
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)

[Outro: Grand Puba]
Think of many episodes I swung in Lincoln Park

Linkin Park

Hybrid Theory isn’t just the title of Linkin Park’s chart-topping debut album, but a career mission statement.

From day one, the same six players (lead vocalist Chester Bennington, drummer/percussionist Rob Bourdon, guitarist Brad Delson, bassist Dave ‘Phoenix’ Farrell, DJ/Programmer Joe Hahn, and keyboardist, guitarist, and co-lead vocals Mike Shinoda) built the band by fusing all their favorite styles of music into one unmistakable signature sound. With each album, Linkin Park defiantly challenges themselves and their fans by blasting into new musical territory. After setting the template for rock that incorporated hip-hop influences with Hybrid Theory and Meteora, they shifted gears completely and defied expectations with the polychromatic Minutes to Midnight, and again with the esoteric A Thousand Suns, before melding a piece of them all into 2012’s LIVING THINGS. With their 2014 release and heaviest offering in years, The Hunting Party, Linkin Park manage to capture their ever-innovative spirit with a hunger seldom seen in bands on their seventh album. One More Light (2017) is an interesting personal album, filled with a lot of emotion.

Unfortunately, on July 20, 2017, Chester unexpectedly died by suicide, shocking and saddening both fans and his own band members alike.
