It's Goin' Down
X-exutioners feat. Linkin park Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wa-wa-watch them flee, hip-hop heads
"And you do it like this"
(It's goin' down) it's goin' down
(It's goin' down) it's goin' down
(It's goin' down) it's goin' down
(It's goin' down)
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 meltin' pot of a super-futuresque 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
It's goin' down
A 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 goin' down
A 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 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
(It's goin' down)
"Put it on"
"I said it goes like this"
"And you do it like this"
It's goin' 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 weapons swingin' right from the chin
The elevate of mental states long gone with the wind
To defend men for shoddy imitation pretends
It's goin' down
Style assimilation, readily
Trekkin' through the weaponry of a pure pedigree
Cleverly seein' through whatever is ahead of me
Whatever the weather be, we're advancin' steadily
It's goin' down to sub-terrestrial hot
I rhyme regiment that's callin' the shots
Execution of collaborative plots
Ready to bring the separation of style to a stop
It's goin' down
A 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 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
"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"
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

"Put it on, and it goes like this"
(It's goin' down)
"And you do it like this"

"So put it on, and it goes like this"

"It's goin' down" by the X-exutioners feat. Linkin park is a rap rock song where multiple elements are fused together to create a complex dialect that reflects a future style that is hard to define. The song talks about the journey of the artists to make a mark in the cut-throat music industry amidst stiff competition. The lyricist talks about how the combination of the various forms of musical expression can create harmonic music.
As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the rap artist is using complex metaphors such as pent-up emotions, vocal caress, and other special effects to give a unique flavor to the narrative. As the title suggests, it is going down, implying that the artist is ready to take over the music world by storm. The lyrics also refer to the various weapons and tools used by the artists, such as the sword with the pen and the rhyme regiment, indicating that it is not just an individual effort but a team effort.
The song also emphasizes the need to constantly evolve and invent new styles to stay relevant in the ever-changing music industry. The "X-men" references and the "blast off world wide" lyrics hint at the aspiration to take over the world with their music and their unique style.

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.
