P.O.D.(Payable On Death)


Alive


every day is a new day
i'm thankful for ever breath i take
i won't take it for granted
so i learn from my mistakes
so i trust in love
you've given me piece of mind


i feel so alive
for the very first time
i can't deny you
i feel so alive
for the very first time
i can't deny you
i feel so alive
and i think i can fly


sunshine upon my face
a new song for me to sing
tell the one how i feel inside
though it might cost me everything
now that i see you
i can never look away


i feel so alive
for the very first time
i can't deny you
i feel so alive
for the very first time
i can't deny you
i feel so alive
and i think i can fly


and now that i know you
i can never turn my back away
and now that i see you
i could never look away
and now that i know you
i can never turn my back away
and now that i see you
i'll beleive no matter what they say


i feel so alive
for the very first time
i can't deny you
i feel so alive
for the very first time
i can't deny you
i feel so alive
and i think i can fly
and i think i can fly


Rock the Party


We came here to rock this jam
Spread His love is the master plan
Let this light ignite like a star
Everybody in the party knows who we are
You gotta get down, dance around, floss you style
P.O.D., guarantee, make it worth your while
Bad vibes, leave 'em at the door
Soulcheck'n, housewreck'n, keep 'em begg 'n for
more
chorus:
We came to rock the party all night long
So party people won't ya sing that song
We came to rock the party all night long
And keep it live till the break of dawn


He DJ won't ya play that song
And we'll keep dancing till the break of dawn
Keep it live kike the way it should
Ain't nobody gett'n crazy so yours is a friend of
mine
Don't bother stopping till this jam is though
If you been here before then you know how we do


chorus


We gotz to play what we feel
Then I can say I came real
Don't wanna be caught mess'n around
Cuz a party ain't a party when it gets shut down
Off the hook, with the cutz, that's right
Feel'n loose cuz it sounds so tight
Rock da spot till the very end
Make sure that you're there when we do it again


chorus


Southtown


Welcome to hard times, back again like its never
been For the first time it seem to mess with my
head When I realize what it takes, can I relate
With whatever, but never will it drive me to hate
Could be the next guy that you take before I wake
Now I lay me down to sleep, eyes tight when I pray
This her is real life, circumstances make you
think
Should I be counting my blessings, the next
second my eyes blink
chorus:
Here in the Southtown you know that kid don't play
Put it down it the streets, will I see another day
If I make it back this time, gots to hold what is
mine
And thank God that I made it alive


One love it's easier said than done
Can I rise above anything that gets in my way?
Like words you say, you let your tongue get loose
And when push comes to shove, I'm not used to
walking away
I keep on looking up, because these times are
getting tough
Tomorrow's gone and it's the same o' song
Father fill my cup, give me strength to power up
A life to shine, you're the diamond in this
rough


It ain't got to be like this


Don't wanna throw up my fist, Don't wanna be like
this
Don't wanna throw up my fist, I must resist


chorus


Youth of a Nation


Last day of the rest of my life
I wish I would've known
Cause I didn't kiss my mama goodbye


I didn't tell her that I loved her and how much I
care Or thank my pops for all the talks
And all the wisdom he shared


Unaware, I just did what I always do
Everyday, the same routine
Before I skate off to school


But who knew that this day wasn't like the rest
Instead of taking a test
I took two to the chest


Call me blind, but I didn't see it coming
Everybody was running
But I couldn't hear nothing


Except gun blasts, it happened so fast
I don't really know this kid
Even though I sit by him in class


Maybe this kid was reaching out for love
Or maybe for a moment
He forgot who he was
Or maybe this kid just wanted to be hugged
Whatever it was
I know it's because


chorus:
We are, We are, the youth of the nation


Little Suzy, she was only twelve
She was given the world
With every chance to excel


Hang with the boys and hear the stories they tell
She might act kind of proud
But no respect for herself


She finds love in all the wrong places
The same situations
Just different faces


Changed up her pace since her daddy left her
Too bad he never told her
She deserved much better


Johnny boy always played the fool
He broke all the rules
So you would think he was cool


He was never really one of the guys
No matter how hard he tried
Often thought of suicide


It's kind of hard when you ain't got no friends
He put his life to an end
They might remember him then


You cross the line and there's no turning back
Told the world how he felt
With the sound of a gat


chorus


Who's to blame for the lives that tragedies claim
No matter what you say
It don't take away the pain


That I feel inside, I'm tired of all the lies
Don't nobody know why
It's the blind leading the blind


I guess that's the way the story goes
Will it ever make sense
Somebody's got to know


There's got to be more to life than this
There's got to be more to everything
I thought exists


chorus


Boom


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


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?


Is that all you got?
I'll take your best shot.


Satellite


I wonder how clear it must look from there to here
No obstruction, this selfish corruption
All in this atmosphere


No fear, less tears, only time to catch my breath
I fail to inhale
Your love constricts my chest


Confusion blinded me, mental and physically
And it's because of you that now I can see
So now can I run? I follow the Son and ride on to
Zion And dance this last song of freedom


But only time will tell, if it's truly for real
Can't change your mind, all I know this is what I
feel Whether I'm wrong or right, please keep my
life in sight And never take you eyes off me


[chorus:]
As I look up to the sky today
Well I can see you looking down on me
It brings a smile to my face again
Satellite


It's truly one of a kind, like star shine, beyond
night time, are you there
My eyes stare to find, just what's behind this
blind notion of mine, is it genuine
Cause sometimes, it plays tricks with my mind,
some call it asinine


But it's like love or hate, now is that real or
fake? Cause it's a real thin line, but that's your
choice to make
The question at hand, help me understand, is this
your plan? I think I can, can I think, then I
think I can


Because I won't break
(nah), and I won't shake(nah) With lifted hands to
this Man (Jah), I'll stand in faith
I'll make it through, my trust in you
Close my eyes, make a wish, kiss the sky


Hey there?-I see you


[chorus]
