[Intro]
Watch them flee, watch them flee
Watch them flee
Hip-hop heads
And you do it like this
[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]
It's going down (x8)
The rhythm projects 'round the next sound
Reflects the complex hybrid dialect now
Detect the mesh of many elements compressed down
The melting pot of a super future-esque style
The combination of a vocal caress
With lungs that gasp for breath from emotional stress with special effects
And a distorted collage
Carefully lodged between beats of rhythmic barrage
[Pre-Hook: Mike Shinoda]
It's going down
The logical progression on a timeline
The separation narrowed down to a fine line
To blur the edges so they blend together properly
Take you on an audible odyssey
Now it's going down
[Hook: Both (x2)]
Put it out for the world to see
LP and X-Men to the 10th degree (It's going down)
Nobody in the world is safe
When we melt down the wax in your record crate (It's going down)
[Bridge 1: Joe Hahn & The X-Ecutioners]
"Put it on"
"I said it goes like this"
"And you do it like this"
It's going down
[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda]
Once again it is
Composed sentences altogether venomous
The four elements of natural force
Projected daily through the sound of the source
Everybody on board as we blend
The sword with the pen
The mightiest of weapons swinging right from the chin
To elevate mental states long gone with the wind
To defend men for shoddy imitation pretends
It's going down
Style and simulation, readily
Trekking through the weaponry
Of a pure pedigree
Cleverly seeing through whatever is ahead of me
Whatever the weather be
We advancing steadily
It's going down sub-terrestrial high
A rhyme regiment that's calling the shots
Execution of collaborative plots
Ready to bring the separation of style to a stop
[Pre-Hook: Mike Shinoda]
It's going down
The logical progression on a timeline
The separation narrowed down to a fine line
To blur the edges so they blend together properly
Take you on an audible odyssey
Now it's going down
[Hook: Both]
Put it out for the world to see
LP and X-Men to the 10th degree (It's going down)
Nobody in the world is safe
When we melt down the wax in your record crate (It's going down)
Put it out for the world to see
LP and X-Men to the 10th degree (It's going down)
Nobody in the world is safe
When we melt down the wax in your record crate
[Bridge 2: X-Ecutioners]
"X-men 'bout to blast of world wide"
Yo it's request only
"X-men 'bout to blast of world wide"
And you do it like this
"'Bout to blast off world wide"
"And you do it like this"
[Hook: Both (x2)]
(It's going down)
Put it out for the world to see
LP and X-Men to the 10th degree (It's going down)
Nobody in the world is safe
When we melt down the wax in your record crate (It's going down)
[Extended Outro (x2)]
It's going down
Put it on
Do it like this
It's going down
And you do it like this
(*Scratching sounds*)
