Story behind the song
I play on this game called Marvel Unlimited and felt like making a theme song for the team I'm on. The X-Men.
Lyrics
You Don’t Want It With The X-Men
You Don’t Want It With The X-Men
You Don’t Want It With The X… X…
You Don’t Want It With The X… X…
I.
It’s Havok
Reppin’ for Avalon and I’m mad that
Every where I go these humans just think we bastards
Got me ready, to line ‘em up and straight blast it
Me and my brother Scott? We here to save to the masses
Anybody who wanna’ step can get plasma’d
Magz think he rulin’ the world… and I’m laughin’
Cuz never will that happen as long I’m standin’
A squad full of mutants behind me and we jammin’
C’mon… let me see ya’ put ya’ hands in
Throw on the black leather and get ready for battlin’
Teeth-clatterin’, Earth shatterin’, kinda’ battles man
That’ll leave the Apple in pieces and just shambles man
When the smoke clears, appears, me and my peers
Battle-scarred and battle-ridden but we easin’ fears
Man…
You can’t deny that we saviors here
Let me make it clear
Face it
You need us here…
You Don’t Want It With The X-Men
You Don’t Want It With The X-Men
You Don’t Want It With The X… X…
You Don’t Want It With The X… X…
II.
It’s the calm before the Storm
Everything is the norm
Until you see the X-Men swarm
Dressed in all black and trained to stop attacks
Packed in the Blackbird to push Magneto back
It’s on now…
Bet you probably wonderin’ how
We a buncha’ dark knights that don’t wait ‘til sun down
All we do is move into position when trouble’s ‘round
Put a stop to whatever menace harmin’ the town
City’s in a panic, dogg? Then we calmin’ it down
FoH is on a hunt? Then we shuttin’ ‘em down
Ain’t no job too small for the X to get involved
You can bet by the end of this song, the prob’ll be solved
That’s just the way the X-Men do it may break some laws
But we do it so the humans and mutants can get along
Some people out there, probably think we doin’ it wrong
But for those, that believe in The Dream, then sing along…
C’mon…
You Don’t Want It With The X-Men
You Don’t Want It With The X-Men
You Don’t Want It With The X… X…
You Don’t Want It With The X… X…
III.
Let me break down the roster for ya’
Then you’ll understand how we champs like De La Hoya
We got Tigra, my niece Storm and Alchemist
Nightcrawler and Alain and even Beast in the mix
Roberto, Illyana and the four-armed Vix
Longshot, Alex and Scott? We end the list
So you can keep thinkin’ we gone miss
And we’ll just have to keep provin’ you wrong, until you admit
That the X-Men is here for a reason and we ain’t leavin’
‘Til we make the public believe what we dreamin’
We just tryin’ do what’s right, with the gifts we were given
Fightin’ the good fight until we’ll no longer livin’
Man…
All we do is just the smash the bad
Come back to Avalon and just relax in the pad
Gotta’ keep New York from turnin’ into Savage Lands
Meanwhile… we’ll just sit back and blast this jam
Damn…
You Don’t Want It With The X-Men
You Don’t Want It With The X-Men
You Don’t Want It With The X… X…
You Don’t Want It With The X… X…
