The X-Ecutioners feat. Linkin Park & Static X Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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" *scratches*
"Rap up" *scratches*
"Watch them flee" *scratches*
"And you do it like this"
It's going 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-futureesque 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](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
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 x2]
"Put put.. put it up" *scratches*
"I said it goes like this" *scratches*
"And you do it like this" *scratches*
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 with this blend
The sword with the pen
The mightiest is the weapons
Swinging right from the chin
The elevate of 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 invent the steadily
It's going down to sub-terrestrial high
I rhyme regiment that's calling the shots
Execution of collaborative plots
Ready to bring the separation of style to a stop
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 x2]
"X-men 'bout to blast of world wide" *scratches*
Yo it's request only *scratches*
"X-men 'bout to blast of world wide" *scratches*
It's built from scratch
Album in stores soon
"'Bout to blast off world wide" *scratches*
"And you do it like this"
It's going down
[Chorus x2]
"Put put.. put it up" *scratches*
"I said it goes like this" *scratches*
"And you do it like this" *scratches*
It's going down

Delivering a strong punch aimed at the jaw

Carrying out a shared plan
Ready to bring the separation of style to a stop
Prepared to end the differences in musical styles
X-men 'bout to blast of world wide
The X-Men are about to make a global impact
Yo it's request only
This is only available upon special request
It's built from scratch
It has been created from the ground up
'Bout to blast off world wide
About to launch into the world with immense force
And you do it like this
This is how you perform it
Put put.. put it up
Make some noise and put your hands up
I said it goes like this
This is how the music should be played
It's going down
The situation is intensifying

Eagles don't Care about the opinions of flies.
What I said is the cold truth.
You don't have to agree.
That's irrelevant.
It's hard to hear and hard to stomach.
I know.
But it does change the truth.
Stop letting you're emotions overtake logic & truth.

Matthew 11.28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
Luke 19.10 for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”
Jesus Christ loves you. Repent and be saved. Only Jesus Christ saves. God bless you, and the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you and your family.
