[Intro: Mike Shinoda]
Watch them flee, watch them flee
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

[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]
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 melting pot of a super future-esque 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: Mike Shinoda]
It's goin' down, a logical progression on a 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
