Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's goin' down
[Verse 2]
It's goin' down
The rhythm projects 'round the next sound
Reflects a complex hybrid dialect now
Detect the mesh of many elements compressed down
The melting-pot of a super-futuresque sound
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 a 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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
It's goin' down
Put it out for the world to see
LP and X-men to the tenth 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 tenth 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
[Verse 5]
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
Swinging right for the chin
To elevate mental states
Long gone with the wind
To defend men for shoddy imitation pretends
It's going down
Stylish emulation readily
Trekking through the weaponry
Of a pure pedigree
Cleverly seeing through whatever is ahead of me
Whatever the weather be
We advancing steadily
It's going down sub-terrestrial hot
A rhyme regiment that's calling the shots
Execution of collaborative plots
Ready to bring the separation of style to a stop
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
It's goin' down
Put it out for the world to see
LP and X-men to the tenth 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 tenth degree
It's goin' down
Nobody in the world is safe
When we melt down the wax in your record crate
[Verse 8]
It's goin' down
Put it out for the world to see
LP and X-men to the tenth 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 tenth degree
It's goin' down
Nobody in the world is safe
When we melt down the wax in your record crate
[Verse 9]
It's goin' down
