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:
“To know whether you are enjoying a piece of music or not you must see whether you find yourself looking at the advertisements of Pears’ soap at the end of the libretto.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“The structure was designed by an old sea captain who believed that the world would end in a flood. He built a home in the traditional shape of the Ark, inverted, with the roof forming the hull of the proposed vessel. The builder expected that the deluge would cause the house to topple and then reverse itself, floating away on its roof until it should land on some new Ararat.”
—For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
