P.O.D. Album

Do I believe in the resurrection of CHRIST?
And did HIS death bring forth new life?
And did HE raise up and bring back Lazarus from the grave?
And is there supposed to be a second coming?
Am I wrong because I’m wondering
why the fallen Babylon is up and alive today.
And do I really believe in the mark of the beast?
Cause he's still dwelling up in my streets,
Strapped and ready to fight this war.
And he's got more guns than you and me.
But most people don't wanna believe,
That they still prejudice simply because we poor.
Do I believe that Mother Teresa was a angel on this earth?
And thou shall love thy neighbor even if he acts like you?
Do I believe in Heaven or Hell?
Shoot, hell yeah I do, cause we alive today,
And my crew is living proof.

If It Wasn't For You
None of this would ever mean a thing
If It Wasn't For You
Tell me why else would I believe?
Would I believe?

Do I believe that the rider of the white horse,
Is coming back for the righteous?
And the morning star keeps gettin brighter every day.
Is there such a thing as good and evil?
Still division amongst the people,
And we're not all created equal just because you say.
Do I believe in the trinity, and will I live eternally?
Even though I'm not quite the saint that you claim to be.
Did Dr. Martin Luther have a dream?
Was Haile Selassie a king?
And is it ok to sometimes feel a little bit confused?
Will armageddon never come?
I'm not perfect, just forgiven.
And I might just push back the next time you shove.
Do I believe in one God, one aim and destiny?
Just don't forget your first love,
That's what my moms use to tell me.

If It Wasn't For You
None of this would ever mean a thing
If It Wasn't For You
Tell me why else would I believe?
Would I believe?

If It Wasn't For You
Then none of this is for nothing
It's all for nothing!
****
It's all for nothing!
It's all for nothing!

If It Wasn't For You
None of this would ever mean a thing
If It Wasn't For You
Tell me why else would I believe?
Would I believe?

If It Wasn't For You
None of this would ever mean a thing
Would I believe?
If It Wasn't For You
Would I believe?
If It Wasn't For You
Would I believe?

****chatter in the background sounds like
TV reports on a school shooting****
"I can't see how many people are dead, but 23 wounded

Imperial, Righteous respects, cause we ain't done yet

Lock it down, and overthrow all the pilots
And get out of town, can you see them smiling
Blisters, these bones are breaking
Whispers, are louder than screaming
And we suffer this moment until the day is coming
That we'll reign forever!

Training Day!
Cause I man is coming and we are the Teachers
Training Day!
We been through the fire cause we're pioneers
Training Day!
The soul of the lion, Jah love for the bleeding
Training Day!
Warrior soldiers, we still believe you!

Crawling through poison I lay
My soul still flies with broken wings
and the sun is blinding, I can't stop staring
I don't wanna close my eyes
Righteous respects, and it's the best kept secret
And I can let go of my burdens that keep me from living
so I can start dying

Training Day!
Cause I man is coming and we are the Teachers
Training Day!
We been through the fire cause we're pioneers
Training Day!
The soul of the lion, Jah love for the bleeding
Training Day!
Warrior soldiers, we still believe you!

Warriors
Jah love for the bleeding
Jah Soldiers
We still believe you

Crawling through poison I lay
My soul still flies with broken wings
and the sun is blinding, I can't stop staring
I don't wanna close my eyes!

Training Day!
Cause I man is coming and we are the Teachers
Training Day!
We been through the fire cause we're the pioneers
Training Day!
The soul of the lion, Jah love for the bleeding
Training Day!
Warrior soldiers, we still believe you!

Cause I man is coming and we are the Teachers
Cause I man is coming and we are the Teachers

What you know about that fallin, fallin
Babylon this so called great dead, wait,
Dread bout to update the death rate in one take,
Make no mistake we the real deala,
The radical natural born wig-splitter.
Gonna getcha, with the style that make your soul holla.
More drama, though when droppin the sure-shot,
I rock it steady, be ready till the track is diminished
and when the die goes belly up consider it finished

Sounds like it's Jah to me,
Sounds like it's Jah to me,
The sum of everything, yeah
Close your eyes so you can see
Peace, Love, and Harmony
Sounds like it's Jah to me, yeah

We keep on movin like don't stop, let it go, soul to soul
Dread at the controls, tag em up and label em John Doe.
The raw flow, We built the new style empire.
blazin my choir, like that 4th man on fire.
This guns for hire, take the vow of the Nazarenes.
Then come clean, They're crazy bald heads dontcha mean.
Wickedness fill the sky on the death blow.
carve the name across your chest,
incase the dog catcher wants to know

Sounds like it's Jah to me,
Sounds like it's Jah to me,
The sum of everything, yeah
Close your eyes so you can see
Peace, Love, and Harmony
Sounds like it's Jah to me, yeah

It's gotta be Jah
It's gotta be Jah, Jah, Jah
Jah, Jah, Jah

Jah! Jah! Jah! Jah!
Sounds like it's Jah to me,
Sounds like it's Jah to me,
The sum of everything, yeah
Close your eyes so you can see
Peace, Love, and Harmony
Sounds like it's Jah to me, yeah

Can I touch you to see if you're real?
Cause in nothing there's something I feel,
Can my heart take the strain?
Or will it break down again?

In your lips I sense a danger
And you've got the eyes of a stranger.

Have I been sleeping for all these years?
Is it magic that makes you appear?
When I stepped in the room I felt my heart race
But you acted rude when I looked at your face

In your lips I sense a danger
You've got the eyes of a stranger
In your lips I see a danger
You've got the eyes of a stranger

You've got that look in your eyes
Your eyes, You've got that look in your eyes
In your eyes

In your lips I sense a danger
And you've got the eyes of a stranger
In your lips I see a danger
And you've got the eyes of a stranger
you've got the eyes of a stranger
and you've got the eyes of a stranger
you've got the eyes of a stranger

I never knew that a kid like me
Could take his mic around the world and flash the big S.D.
And rock the masses, from Madrid to Calabassas
Tijuana, Mexico, bootleg demos in Tokyo
They know me though, 'cause I be puttin' in work
Commit my life to rebirth, well respected, 'cause that's my word
I'm sure you heard, about a new sound going around
She might have left my hood, but she was born in my town

We rep. the South, so what you talking about
I'm not running off my mouth, I know this without a doubt
'Cause if you know these streets, then these streets know you
When it's time to handle business, then you know what to do
Me and my crew, we stay true, old skool or new
Many were called, but the chosen are few
We rise to the top, what you want? Just in case you forgot
Rush the stage, grab my mic, show me what you got

[b-section:]
You didn't know, thought we was new on the scene
Well, it's alright! It's alright!
I know you know, I see you smiling at me
Well, it's alright! It's alright!

[chorus:]
Boom! Here comes the Boom!
Ready or not, here comes the boys from the South
Boom! Here comes the Boom!
How you like me now?

[bridge:]
Is that all you got?
I'll take your best shot.

Come and give me that wildfire
The uncivilized sound that I love
The primitive ragga blaze style
Consciousness vibes I and I know
The untamed flame that I desire
Me want uncultivated Jah glow
Foolish identity, versatile
Fly the spirit high, take me higher

chorus:
One leads with the passion
The righteous will burn again
One bleeds everlasting
Tribal fire will never end
(repeat)

I want to feel that wildfire
Irregular burning of the sun
Shining through, make you spit fire
Savage combustion, let it go
Impetuous, fervor testifier
Outlandish passions I know
Crucial rhythms no denial
