Shut up

Shut up (when I'm talking to you)
Shut up

Shut up
Shut up

I'm about to...
wasn't that fun, lets try something else
Forty five caliber killa but outta the filla
Dela villa gonna show y'all brothers how you not a gorilla

Smooth talking fully automatic weapon concilla
Taste thriller, break thriller, lets hit em' with the bounce filla
Filthy stinkin' standin' on solid ground
Still be sinkin' submerging and the parks
Still be Linkin' pluck beef when its starts, fuck what your thinking, its not a mirage

I'm in a mother fuckin' tractor from out of the garage
With an if through the duck, but its hard to dodge
In the back of that spine where my dogs' lie
Gonna flip it straight up rippin' apart ya squad

X to the excutioner style, cuts and blends
Like a syringe hangin' you from each of ya limbs
See me comin' through ya party hard
Without no bodyguard

Smoking something stompin on each of ya Tims
I'm the be to the L the A the see king
And when it come to planning the thought to keep thinking man





[Repeat: x8]
Shut up

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Linkin Park's song X-Ecutioner Style are a combination of aggressive and dark lines delivered by rapper Mike Shinoda. He starts with a simple yet powerful command to "shut up" multiple times, indicating he wants the listener to pay attention as he is about to speak. He then introduces himself as a "forty-five caliber killa" and boasts about his abilities to take down opponents with ease. He compares himself to a gorilla but uses the word "not" to emphasize that he is not an animal but a smooth-talking and fully automatic weapon. He further describes the impact of his bullets as "thriller" and "bouncin filla."


As he progresses, he mentions that he is still standing even when others sink, indicating his strength and resilience. He then says he is in a tractor out of his garage, possibly referring to his humble beginnings but with immense power that he can't ignore. He also mentions his companions, his dogs, who are ready to rip apart anyone who dares to challenge them. He uses "X to the executioner style," a term related to turntable scratching and blending beats, to describe his skills in cutting and blending like a syringe.


Overall, the lyrics convey the message that Mike Shinoda is a force to be reckoned with, and his reputation precedes him. He is fearless and determined to succeed, and anyone who challenges him will pay the price. The repetitive use of "shut up" serves to emphasize the importance of his message and the need for the listener to focus and understand his words.
