Linkin Park - It's Going Down Lyrics






[Woman:]
I knew I was being threatened
Do you think it was worth holding out?
I mean I've heard some pretty ugly things about those guys
Ugly stories

[X-ecutioners:]
Watch them flee...
Watch them flee
Watch, watch, watch them flee
Hip-hop hits
And you do it like this

It's going down [7x]

[Mike Shinoda:]
It's going down
The rhythm projects 'round the next sound
Reflects the complex hybrid dialect now
Detects the mesh of many elements compressed down
The melting 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 going down
The 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 going 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 going down

[X-Ecutioners with Mike Shinoda:]
Put it out for the world to see
LP and X-Men to the 10th degree
It's going down
Nobody in the world is safe
When we melt down the wax in your record crate
It's going down
[2x]

I said it goes like this
And you do it like this
It's going down

[Mike Shinoda:]
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 the weapons
Swinging right from the chin
To elevate of mental states
Long gone with the wind
To defend men from shoddy imitation pretends

It's going down
Style assimilation readily
Trekking through the weaponry
Of the pure pedigree
Cleverly seeing through whatever is ahead of me
Whatever the weather be
We invent it steadily

It's going down 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 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

[X-Ecutioners with Mike Shinoda:]
Put it out for the world to see
LP and X-Men to the 10th degree
(It's going down)
Nobody in the world is safe
When we melt down the wax in your record crate
(It's going down)
[2x]

[X-ecutioners:]
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 going down

[X-Ecutioners with Mike Shinoda:]
Put it out for the world to see
LP and X-Men to the 10th degree
It's going down
Nobody in the world is safe
When we melt down the wax in your record crate
It's going down
[2x]

It's going down [7x]

[X-ecutioners:]
Put, put, put it up
I said it goes like this
It's going down
And you do it like this
It's going down
Put, put, put it up
I said it goes like this
It's going down
And you do it like this

[X-ecutioners, Mike Shinoda:]

Linkin Park It's Going Down Comments
  1. A.... S....

    I am still listening to this in 2020. Anyone else?

  2. s.... 0....

    Who listen 2020 👍👍👍👍👍

  3. o.... a....

    My favourite song In highschool

  4. T.... B....

    In my opinion one of Mikes best verses and especially delivery. He went so smooth on the beat 💯💯💯

  5. V.... ....

    I wonder why Wayne static is never given any credit for this song. No credit in the music video, no credit on the actual track on the album, nothing. Sad that 3 of the people in this video are now dead and gone

    V.... ....

    I think it's because he wasn't actually involved in the recording of the song. Wayne, Phoenix and Rob Bourdon only appear in the video, but didn't actually help make the song. Only Mike Shinoda was officially involved in the recording.

  6. M.... M....

    I remember when I was younger i thought it's about progress in far future and about that something changed in the past ?

  22. D.... K....

    god i wish i could go back in time

  23. D.... K....

    is that wayne static?

  24. m.... r....

    RIP Wayne Static & Chester Bennington. 😪

  25. D.... R....

    If these (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4B_UYYPb-Gk) hadn't done what they did, maybe we wouldn't have this other amazing mix! Anyone agree?

  26. B.... ....

    Still listening

  27. A.... K....

    I just noticed the guy in the beginning was wearing Tim Duncan's jersey...

    A.... K....

    same here, I noticed he's a fan of NBA!

  28. D.... _....

    The best collab of rock n hiphop for the last 18 years. Hopefully one day this kind of music is trending again

    D.... _....

    Hope so.

  29. A.... L....

    It's NOT LINKIN PARK! It's the Xecutioners Featuring Static-X, Mike Shinoda, Rob Bourdon (probably only for show in the video) and Joe Hahn!

  30. A.... L....

    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

  41. H.... ....

    Been looking for this since I was six years old.

  59. l.... v....

    Its going to go down people. The 4 elements of natural force are going to swing for our chin. 1:30 --- 1: 47
    And its going to knock us out, and then we will gain the ability to change our way of life.

  68. R.... L....

    um... Guys, Why they have 4 DJs with Joe Hahn, 1 guitarist (There is not Brad Delson), Dave Farrell is only 1 bassist here, Rob bourdon on drums, And why Mike Shinoda always rapping entire song? Where's Chester Bennington in this video?

    R.... L....

    @Antonio Auditore but the drum track was made by Rob bourdon, What about the bass parts has made by Phoenix?

    R.... L....

    @Antonio Auditore I need to cover this for WIP. How hard can it be.

    R.... L....

    @Rusli1659 LP Soldier they use beats from LP songs but that doesnt mean they had a part in the song itself.

    R.... L....

    @Antonio Auditore where does the separate tracks like:
    Acapellas
    Drums
    Bass
    Guitar (Brad and Chester's parts)
    And Dj scratch parts (Joe Hahn and the Executioners)?

    R.... L....

    @Antonio Auditore can u tell me the link please?

  69. o.... ....

    Nu Metal >> Trap Metal

  70. W.... F....

    Every musician death ever: Back or neck pain, goes to doctor who gets them hooked on heroin (prescription narcotics are almost all heroin derivatives, look it up) then they use their fame/money to get harder stuff because they grow a tolerance to prescription drugs. This begins a drug addiction which continues to eat away and their minds over the years. Eventually they OD on something or kill themselves because their brain is no longer physically capable of producing "happy" chemicals. They die and everyone goes on about how they were "depressed" and it's such a fucking tragedy etc...yet no one blames the bullshit FDA/Big pharma/Doctors who are killing everyone for $$. Doctor buys a new Corvette. Corrupt U.S. medical system wins again.

    Intelligent people like myself figure it out and post comments like this. Stupid sheep (most of the population) call it a "conspiracy theory" and tell people like me to stop wearing a tinfoil hat. And in the end it doesn't even matter.

  71. T.... E....

    2019 and that flow from Shinoda is still going ...

  72. j.... j....

    whoa when did statîx x hair guy diee
