Takedown, down, down, down (HUNTR/X girls to the world)
Takedown, takedown
Takedown, down, down, down (it's a takedown)
So sweet, so easy on the eyes
But hideous on the inside
You’ve built your whole life on lies, but you can’t hide
Baby, nice try
I'm about to change the mood
I finally opened my eyes
It's time to knock you back down
Into the night
Because I see your true face, and it's truly ugly
Time to put you in your place, you're rotten to the core
When your true colors start to show
It makes the hatred build inside of me
I don't think you're ready for the takedown, falling to pieces
In a world of pain, because you're all the same
Yeah, it's a takedown, a demon with no feelings
You don't deserve to live, it's so clear
I'ma get ready and take you down
Whoa-oh, da-da-da, down (it's a takedown)
Whoa-oh, da-da-da, down (I'ma take it down)
Whoa-oh, da-da-da, down (it's a takedown)
Whoa-oh, da-da-da, down (take it down)
It's a takedown, I'ma take you out
You're falling apart, what now?
It's a takedown, I'ma take you out
And I won't stop
I'll trample all over your mind
I'll carve lines into your soul
You'll be begging and crying, all of you dying
I never miss my shot
When your true colors start to show
It makes the hatred build inside of me
I don't think you're ready for the takedown, confidently
I'll step into the darkness and destroy everything
Yeah, it's a takedown, a demon with no feelings
You don't deserve to live, it's so clear
I'ma get ready and take you down
Whoa-oh, da-da-da, down (it's a takedown)
Whoa-oh, da-da-da, down (I'ma take it down, watch me do it, yeah)
Whoa-oh, da-da-da, down (it's a takedown, ooh)
Whoa-oh, da-da-da, down (ooh)
Oh, you're the master of illusion
Don't try to deceive me
Look at all the people you're fooling
But they'll turn on you soon, so what then?
How can you sleep or live with yourself?
A broken soul trapped in the ugliest shell
I'll crush your lifeless soul
And watch you die-ie-ie (you can try, but you can't hide)
It's a takedown, I'ma take you out (oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh)
You're falling apart, what now?
It's a takedown, I'ma take you out (oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh)
And I won't stop
I'ma cut you up, you'll lose control (oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh)
Then rip out your heart
You'll be begging and crying, I love watching you die (oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh)
I'ma get ready and take you down
Oh, whoa-oh, da-da-da, down (la-la-la, it's a takedown, oh)
Oh, whoa-oh, da-da-da, down (yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah, I'ma take it down)
Oh, whoa-oh, da-da-da, down (ooh, it's a takedown, ooh)
Oh, whoa-oh, da-da-da, down (watch me do it, yeah)
Take it down
