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

Watch them flee
Watch them flee
Rap Up
Watch them flee
Hip hop hits
And you do like this

[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]
It's going down
The rhythm projects round my next sound
Reflects the complex hybrid dialect now
Detect the 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 еmotional stress
And special effеcts
In a distorted collage
Carefully lodged between beats of rhythmic barrage

[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda]
It's going down
The logical progression on 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
The logical progression on 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
[Post-Chorus]
It's going down
Put it up
And it goes like this
And you do it like this
It's going down
Put it up
And it goes like this
And you do it like this

[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda]
It's going down
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 the weapons
Swinging right for the chin
To elevate mental states
Long gone with the wind
To defend men from shoddy imitation pretends
It's going down
Style assimilation 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 is calling the shots
Execution of collaborative plots
Ready to bring the separation of style to a stop
[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda]
It's going down
A 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

[Post-Chorus]
It's going down
Put it up
And it goes like this
And you do it like this
It's going down
Put it up
And it goes like this
And you do it like this

[Bridge: X-Ecutioners]
It's going down
X-Men bout to blast off world wide
X-Men bout to blast off world wide
And you do it like this
Bout to blast off world wide
And you do it like this

[Post-Chorus]
It's going down
Put it up
And it goes like this
And you do it like this
It's going down
Put it up
And it goes like this
And you do it like this
[Outro]
It's going down
