Intro
Know Me Take 5 seconds, think about my crew, who am I P.O.D. Chorus: Listen my cry, What do you hear? Live my breath, How do you feel? Look my soul, What do you see? Imagine a moment, You don't know me
Take five seconds and listen up, Open your mind Never met me face to face, but persist to talk behind my back In face, you never even seen me never been where I am From, where I'm at, or even be me so check me, test me, I ain't got nothing to loose, been down since the beginning and still paying dues, Drop what youre doing, stop and stare at me, Not who you are Cuz your to scared to be
Chorus
Reap what I've sown, it all goes along with my past It's not the first time I've struggled and it won't be the last No class, when you talk about another how can you say You love me, when you hate your brother, you smother But my faith keeps me difference between me and you holmes Is that I'm forgiven, I got your back if you're down with my crew I looked to him, so I don't answer to you
Chorus
Who am I, I am you 8x
I'm just like you 4x
Listen my cry and tell me, I know you hear me Live my breath and tell me, I know you feel me Look my soul, and tell me, I know you see me I know you love me
Selah Kick down the teeth of the wicked creep undaground Where I stay hid lurk down the alleyways, you be stalking me Behind back talkers, cowards be mock'n me Try to make me talk, make me confess can't break a brotha down When there's no fear of Death, So you can't stand the sight of me Next to the conquering Lion, at His right I'll be
Chorus: Step up punks, get rushed, you can't touch me Braced in your word, I say, I have no fear Step up punks, get rushed, you can't touch me Sheltered by Your blood, your sweat, your tears
I be all in your face, state my case even if you took me up, There's another to take my place you waste, Prisoner to your pride you can never kill me off I've got too much life on the inside, kill me, beat me, break my bones, Already gave up my life, you'll never have my soul Give credit to the one who paid for your crimes Suffer for His name and I'll die for mines
Chorus (Selah)
Identify your real master, Recognize and obey the sacrifice 8x (Selah)
Visions
Brown Believe Recieve Obtain Withstand Never die
One Day The deeper and deeper I fall, deeper and deeper I seek, Deeper and deeper I try and deeper and deeper I need
Forgive Me 4x
And all I see is Your face 2x
Chorus: The deeper and deeper i fall, deeper and deeper I seek Deeper and deeper I try, the deeper and deeper I need The deeper and deeper I fail, deeper and deeper I read Deeper and deeper I cry, the deeper and deeper I feed
Caught up in this game of life, me against you Not doing what I should, just the things that I want to So wrapped up, terrified of what I become Outside I'm laughing, inside I'm numb I can't see the light because it blinds me Try to forget but my past always reminds me Exposed, looked on by eyes of grace I'm so ashamed, Don't look at my face
All I see is your face 4x
Get up by your strength, I rise up to thee But I'll stay on my face if you will of me Shape and Mold me til your though Humble myself, life laid down before you I need your wisdom, so the truth I keep on living And your love will always be a part of me Can't do a thing, if I ain't living for the kind So don't ever leave or take your eyes off me
It's not who you are It's who you're living for Trials and tribulations will come

Breath Babylon Chorus: Babylon, Breathe Babylon 4x I see you people babylon and on and on Graven images, golden idols and false icons I'm seeking wisdom like Solomon But my antennae keeps on picking up evil transmissions At headquarters I receive my mission Blow up the ruler of the air like nuclear fission So I analyze my weapons, laser guided rifles that shoot spiritual wisdom I think I see enemy warriors, Fragile heathens tryin' to run stuff like mayors So with brotha's that snuff punks, I set up time bombs to destroy the strong holds of Babylon
Babylon Breathe Babylon 8x
We be tribes under grace, a righteous minority Decadent culture make you forget your spiritual priority Back down by the movement, soldiers who will serve ya Open to be used by God, destroy you like Medo-Persia Jewel of all kingdoms, live evil, purified Hurrah take you down Don't look back, overthrown you like Sodom and Gomorrah arm of the law Guilty of all crimes I be like the great Prophet Isiah Predict your fall over 150 times, got rhymes you could never use For the purpose you be using, I'll dance over your fields Present day Iraq still lies in ruins lies, Schemes, backstab persuasions bumrushed Get crushed by us, this rescue invasion
Chorus 8x
Look to the sky, heed the warning The shadow is coming, the shadow is coming 8x
The plagues are coming, the plagues are coming I feel the breath of the Death Beast 4x
Misled bureaucracy, full of hypocrisy I gotta steel pulse, looking for a true democracy Destruction, now your walls have fallen Just sitting here waiting for the train to Zion
Sit down in the dust, Babylon without a throne to call your own is 47:1 The city has fallen, she has fallen golden images of it's god Lie shattered on the ground
Funk Jam

Full Color I cry why O' why did my mommy have to die? Too many questions, no answers confuses my mind Like what did I do, what did she do, who's to blame No one understands what I'm going through So how can I trust what I can't touch and can't see Believe in love and she's in front of me Silence in your eyes, my heart so cold No time for goodbyes, then you leave me alone
So what do I do accept it and carry on? Or release my anger, until it's gone Show you and this world exactly how I feel death in full color It's never been so real, It's been me and you, It's always been me and you No matter what we faced, we always made it through Get out of this dream, do what I gotta do No one can take your place and I don't want them to.
If I could take your place, I would, I would take your pain Just to see you smile and say my name, Just to hear you laugh and hear you cry I don't understand, I don't know why
I've never been it this state of mind, life just don't make sense With you I could move mountains, right now I'm helpless I guess, you always knew what was best Believed in your God, til the very last breath You showed me how strong you can be If Jesus saved your life, could he do it for me? I'll lay down my life for you and for Him Believe God's promise, I'm gonna see you again
Lord here I am, but I am no one, Believe in Your name Believe in your Son, if you meet me here I will wait on you Sacrifice and serve, do what you want me to I'll take it day by day, and sit at your feet You are strong when I am weak I seek to keep from going under Until I hold you again, I'll always wonder
Why did my mommy have to Die? (repeats)
Seeking The Wise The world keeps on turning And you're locked up in it 4x Before I was lost, but now I am found 4x Seeking the Wise 4x
I'm in like that and I'm right on time I'm looking for the King and will find the way The truth and the one that gives life, Payable on Death And we're seeking the wise, no where to run looking for the Son
No where to run 2x
You are, you are the one 4x
I'm breathing dust of conspiracies, iniquities Infiltrate the wisdom, but we bounce back and burn like the sun I'm needing help like welfare recipients while false prophets keep writing fake manuscripts Brought down like fugitives, saints on the warpath Watch how you live, oh God, please make me capable, Cause all human wisdom is fallible
Live And Die I get up Friday morning and I'm late for school Only 13, but I got a mad pull, it's cool Who needs a job when I can steal and rob Making all that money, but my mom don't think it's funny Call up the Homies cuz today's the day they gonna make a man of me A gangsta, an O.G. They say I'm young, but I got much heart Feel like a kid inside, I know how to play the part Gotta get jumped in, but man it ain't no thang 5 minutes of pain for the love of a gang Might not be right, but it's all I Know Messed up and joined a gang, gave away my soul
Chorus: Nothing matters to me, except right now Make it through till tomorrow, some way some how You don't understand, but it makes sense to me I won't stop until I rest in peace 2x
I got my first 9-lim, so brothers beware looking to get into some trouble All it takes is a stare without a care, I see some fools that ain't from my set Represent what I claim, then take my respect scared as heck, But I'm down with how you figure, you might be big But my trigga is bigga, Bust five shots as I fall to the floor Within a single second, I become Hardcore I knew this morning, it would be one of those days G' I missed them suckas again, but hit a lady and her baby
Chorus 2x
Get that punk
Live by the sword, Die by the sword Innocent life, what they dying for Live by the Gat, die by the gun Who suffers when it's all said and done 2x
