It’s Goin’ Down - Intellectual

[Intro: Mike Shinoda]

Watch them flee, watch them flee

Watch them flee, hip-hop heads

"And you do it like this"

(It's goin' down) It's goin' down

[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]

It's goin' down, 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-Chorus: Mike Shinoda]

It's goin' down, a 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 goin' down, a 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

[Chorus: Mike Shinoda]

It's goin' down, put it out for the world to see

LP and X-Men to the 10th degree

(It's goin' down) Nobody in the world is safe

When we melt down the wax in your record crate

(It's goin' down) Put it out for the world to see

LP and X-Men to the 10th degree

(It's goin' down) Nobody in the world is safe

When we melt down the wax in your record crate

[Post-Chorus]

(It's goin' down) "Put it on"

"I said it goes like this"

"And you do it like this"

It's goin' 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 goin' 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're 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-Chorus: Mike Shinoda]

It's goin' down, a 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

[Chorus: Mike Shinoda]

It's goin' down, put it out for the world to see

LP and X-Men to the 10th degree

(It's goin' down) Nobody in the world is safe

When we melt down the wax in your record crate

(It's goin' down) Put it out for the world to see

LP and X-Men to the 10th degree

(It's goin' down) Nobody in the world is safe

When we melt down the wax in your record crate

[Bridge: X-Ecutioners]

"X-Men 'bout to blast off world wide"

"And you do it like this"

"'Bout to blast off world wide"

[Chorus: Mike Shinoda]

It's goin' down, put it out for the world to see

LP and X-Men to the 10th degree

(It's goin' down) Nobody in the world is safe

When we melt down the wax in your record crate

(It's goin' down) Put it out for the world to see

LP and X-Men to the 10th degree

(It's goin' down) Nobody in the world is safe

When we melt down the wax in your record crate

[Outro: Mike Shinoda]

(It's goin' down) It's goin' down

(It's goin' down)

"Put it on", "and it goes like this"

(It's goin' down)

"And you do it like this"

(It's goin' down)

"Put it on", "and it goes like this"

(It's goin' down)

"And you do it like this"

"Like this"
