It's Goin' Down

Linkin Park Featuring X-Ecutioners

[Intro]

I knew I was being threatened

Do you think it's worth holding out'

I mean I've heard some pretty ugly things about those guys

Ugly stories



(electric guitar starts)

'Watch them flee.. watch them flee' *scratches*

'Rap up' *scratches*

'Watch them flee' *scratches*

'Hip-Hop hits' *scratches*

'And you do it like this'



(Mike Shinoda)

[Verse 1]

It's going down

The rhythm projects 'round the next sound

Reflects a complex hybrid dialect now

Detect a mesh of many elements compressed down

The melting pot of a super-futuresque style

The combination of a vocal caress

With lungs that gasp for breath

From emotional stress

With special effects

In a distorted collage

Carefully lodged between beats of a rhythmic barrage



[Pre-Chorus](2x)

It's going down

The logical progression on a the 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



[Chorus](2x)

'Put put.. put it up' *scratches*

'I said it goes like this' *scratches*

'And you do it like this' *scratches*

It's going down



(Mike Shinoda)

[Verse 2]

Once again it is

Composed sentences all together 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 for the chin

To elevate mental states

Long gone with the wind

To defend men for shoddy imitation pretends

It's going down

Stalence emulation readily

Trekking through the weaponry

Of the pure pedigree

Cleverly seeing through whatever is ahead of me

Whatever the weather be

We're advancing steadily

It's going down to sub-t
