Music and Structure
The song is a rhyme duel between Jonathan Davis and Fred Durst, mixing elements of hip-hop beats, distorted 7-string guitars, and Fieldy's signature bass sound. The song begins with Jonathan and Fred insulting each other on hygiene, sexual orientation and family roots amongst other things. At the ending, both say they will perform sexual acts on each other in ironic way, in fact giving the song a confusing twist. Musically, the stomping riff has drawn comparison to Tool's "Die Eier Von Satan", though it is in 4/4 time unlike the former's 9/8. There are lyrical references to each other's songs, including Korn's "Blind", "Shoots and Ladders", "No Place To Hide", and Limp Bizkit's "Counterfeit". Parts of the riff from "Blind" can also be heard during Jon's insults.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or structure:
“The music stopp’d, and I stood still,
And found myself outside the Hill,
Left alone against my will,
To go now limping as before,
And never hear of that country more!””
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)
“... the structure of a page of good prose is, analyzed logically, not something frozen but the vibrating of a bridge, which changes with every step one takes on it.”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
