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 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 It's going down The logical progression on a the time line 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 time line 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 "Put put, put it up" "I said it goes like this" "And you do it like this" It's going down "Put put, put it up" "I said it goes like this" "And you do it like this" 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 time line 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 "Put put, put it up" "I said it goes like this" "And you do it like this" It's going down "X-men 'bout to blast of world wide" Yo it's request only *scratches* "X-men 'bout to blast of world wide" It's built from scratch Album in stores soon "'Bout to blast off world wide" "And you do it like this" It's going down "Put put, put it up" "I said it goes like this" "And you do it like this" It's going down "Put put, put it up" "I said it goes like this" "And you do it like this" It's going down Like this
