Background

The remix was created by Evidence and cut by DJ Babu, both from the hip hop group Dilated Peoples, with additional production by Porse 1. The track was edited by DJ Revolution and mixed by Troy Staton. Pharoahe Monch guests with a rap verse on the track.

By working with Pharaohe Monch, the band was hoping to get the fans interested in his work. Mike Shinoda told MTV: "He’s just a real mellow [guy], soft-spoken, [but] there’s a lot of hunger there. There’s a lot of intensity even though he’s been doing it for a really long time and he’s really successful in those genres of music [underground hip-hop]. But with a larger, mainstream audience, they don’t know him and that’s where we wanted to make that little connection — just bridge that gap. Hopefully, we could say to [our fans], ‘Well, we like this guy. We’ve been listening for a long time. Hopefully you’ll dig it, too.’"[1]

About Dilated Peoples' presence on the track, Brad Delson said during a linkinpark.com chat on July 3, 2002: "we are big fans of evidence and dialated so we were very honored for him to lace that track so to speak"

The remix contains a vocal sample of the song "All For One" by hip hop group Brand Nubian. Because of this, members of the group, Derek Murphy (Sadat X), Lorenzo Dechalus (Lord Jamar), and Maxwell Dixon (Grand Puba), were also credited for the track.

The instrumental samples the song "Family" by Lamont Dozier.

The remix can be heard during the Frat Party At The Pankake Festival documentary.[2]

Lyrics

Album Version

Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes…

Hybrid
Linkin Park
I've been digging in the crates ever since I was living in space
Before the rat race, before monkeys had human traits
I mastered numerology, big band theology, performed lobotomies with telekinetic psychology
Invented the mic so I can start blessing it
Chin-checkin' kids to make my point like an impressionist
Many men have tried to shake us
But I twist mic chords to double helixes to show them what I'm made of
I buckle knees like leg braces
Cast a spell of instrumental-ness 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 icon be bygones
I fire bombs, 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

High voltage
This is the unforgettable sound
High voltage
Bringin' you up and takin' you down
High voltage
Comin at you from every side
High voltage
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide

Akira
I've put a kink in the backbones, of clones, with microphones
Never satisfied my rhymes jones
Spraying bright day over what you might say
My blood types krylon, technicolor type-A
On highways write with road rage
pages of wind, in cages a tin, that bounce all around
Surround sound
Devouring the scene
Subliminal gangrene paintings, over all the same-thing
Sing-songs karaoke copy bullshit
Break bones verbally with sticks and stones tactics
Forth 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 rhyme missile
While you risk your all
I pick out at your flaws
Spitting raw blah, blah, blah you can say you saw

High voltage
This is the unforgettable sound
High voltage
Bringin' you up and takin' you down
High voltage
Comin at you from every side
High voltage
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide
High voltage
This is the unforgettable sound
High voltage
Bringin' you up and takin' you down
High voltage
Comin at you from every side
High voltage
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide

Who's the man, demandin' your hand over your land rover?
no mans bolder when he jams your plans 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, then 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 the inanimate obstacles
By inducing the reduction of cells and molecules
I bring the knowledge you swallow a steak that's a hologram
I box your head, fatten your lip like collagen
The telepath deliver verses with no postage
Pharoah Monch, Mike Shinoda, we high voltage

High voltage
This is the unforgettable sound
High voltage
Bringin' you up and takin' you down
High voltage
Comin at you from every side
High voltage
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide
High voltage
This is the unforgettable sound
High voltage
Bringin' you up and takin' you down
High voltage
Comin at you from every side
High voltage
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide
 
Linkin Park {being scratched over and over again}

Demo

You know what I mean
You could put a label on a life
Put a label on a lifestyle

Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes…

You know
Put a label on how you wake up every morning
And go to bed at night

pages of wind, in cages a tin, that bounce all around
Surround sound
Devouring the scene
Subliminal gangrene paintings, over all the same-thing
Sing-songs karaoke copy bullshit
Break bones verbally with sticks and stones tactics
Fourth dimension, combat convention
Write rhymes at ease while the track stands at attention

And, like, the rock and rap
You know what I mean
People acting like, you know
'Wow, that's a new invention'
That shit ain't new
It's constantly evolving
We're constantly changing

Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes…

There's a lot of change
Everybody's always up with the labels
There ain't no label for this shit
They're always going to try
To put a label on it
To try to create something
So they can water it down

Sometimes I feel like a prophet
Misunderstood, under the gun like a new disease
Sometimes I feel like a prophet
Misunderstood, under the gun like a new disease

High voltage
This is the unforgettable sound
High voltage
Bringin you up and takin you down
High voltage
Comin at you from every side
High voltage
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide
High voltage
This is the unforgettable sound
High voltage
Bringin you up and takin' you down
High voltage
Comin at you from every side
High voltage
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide
High voltage
