Intro
Yeah it's the P.O.D. right here
Coming straight from the S.D.C.-A
619's in affect, know what I'm sayin
Givin you that hardcore sound, Yeah
Comin' up from the ground
That's where it all started y'know what I'm sayin
Yeah, this is Hardcore, you know why it's so Hardcore
Cuz it's built on the Rock - what Rock you ask
The Rock of Jesus Christ, yeah that's right
Givin you the Truth cuz the Truth hurts y'know
But that's how we sayin' it's down
We ain't got nothing to hide
And we're breakin it down like that y'know what I'm sayin'
Hardlove, Hardcore one way Yeah, Check it Out
Abortion is Murder
There's nothing you can say or do
To justify the fact
That there's a living breathing baby inside of you
3x
Abortion is Murder
8x
Abortion is Murder
There's nothing you can say or do
To justify the fact
That there's a living breathing baby inside of you
Evil eyes behind their smiles
You swallow it up when sincerity lies
Lock me up, label Ў°dangerousЎ± files
Fear of the unknown, so scared of my style
Alert the press and address the states of emergency
We the crew you love to hate
First mistake, you were never ready
Dance with the dead, better be ten times more deadly
This is me, I'm always the same
Virus in the system, crash the mainframe
Uprise, now fall in line
Roll with the pack or get left behind
chorus:
";It's a Masterpiece Conspiracy"; x3
";It's a Masterpiece";
I'd rather hear it from you than be lied to
Call it what it is like the heathens do
Red lights of betrayal, deceived again
Exposed by the light, true colors ascend
Take down the regime, break the trend
Bumrushed by your peers and your so-called friends
Keep your people tight, watch your enemies close
Trust what you know, soon enough they'll choke
Where were you when we started this thing?
You wasn't around, this ain't yours to claim
You'll never take what's been given to us
Wipe that smile off your face and that look of disgust
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 funnly
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'
Outkast blast through deception, the tension, your mind collapse
Relapse, the stress of matter, when I shatter like glass
The never seen, the never heard style we bring forth Can''t ignore,?br> the Four, ripp''n straight when I take your Title, self, X it out like homicidal
it''s vital, to make my flesh be suicidal
We tribal, sing with the Saints, let our spirits fly
Hold down the string with the poser Jah has given I
Break back the chains, release the squeeze off my veins
Empty box, hollow rocks, I knock you out your frame
Shallow grave marks the date, Oh'' Babylon the Great
Evil virus, be like Cyrus, trample down your gates
We''re the ones, the chosen sons
Come out of dark into light, rather fight than run
We came to die for the reasons you put us down
Don''t know when, could have then, what''s the time, the time is now
I lie down, I sleep, when I wake, sustain me
Ready, attack, bout'' to break you down fast like collision
Religion, take you from vision to flashback
In an instant, calculate precise precision
It''s vivid, turn your intimidation to timid
When the beat starts pumping, that's it -- Yeah
The hitman's on the mic getting lyrically sick
My boys with the tools to groove to make you want to move
The P.O.D. is rock'n and we have nothing to prove
So with the mic in my hand let me state this now
You can get with this, now way no how
Forget your fingers homeboy, you'll do the walking
No need for words, we let the music do the talking
God made me
-- And I'm funky
We're set Free
-- Close your eyes and let your heart see
God made me
-- It's the P.O.D. and we're funky
We're set free
-- For all eternity
Break-
Now it's obvious to see that we're dope
-- We're dope
Confusing your mid with this flow you can't cope
-- Cope
What you're gonna do when you're faced with my crew
With the game that is true there's no hope
-- Hope
Why do you try to front, you know that my God is so hard
Taking out you chumps is just a walk in the park
Keep your lips shut with all your Hawking and Squaking
Take 5 second, 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
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
Breathe
This is the knowledge that I bring,
Universal worldwide culture
Inhale, exhale
I takes it all in
No second guessing
Truth brings forth a new passion
No second guessing
Push aside this fate for the ransom
Stands among, gold seven and lox'd up
White wool; fire eyes, glowing in red
Water of rush, planet hold, in double edge
Falling down dead, last first, it's one life
Life source, in resurrection, these bloodstains
Shining face, this morning stars reflections
Embracing light, the clearness of sunrise
Tower strong, in this refuge, my fortress
All American boy with big dreams of glamour life
Bright lights and boogie nights
The hype is ";Everything could be yours if the price is right";
Grab your nothing and hold it tight
The first chance you get your heading out to the West
This decision is one you won't regret
Move to the place where everybody knows ya
Like Hollywood, Los Angeles, California
chorus:
So you wanna be a Superstar
Welcome to Hollywood
Quick money, fly women, fast cars
Welcome to Hollywood
So you wanna be a Superstar
Welcome to Hollywood
High times, big dreams, living large
Welcome to Hollywood
One way ticket, then you'll live this
Life of a Superstar caught up in this business
God as my witness, you will never change
Only been here a day, already in the game
You changed your name; you don't eve look the same
Now you're on top of the world
Money, Power, and Fame
Picture perfect, just like you planned
No longer him, 'cause you the man
God's invisible qualities
Eternal Power and dignity
Ruling over everything
Forever and ever eternity
(repeat)
Take a step back chump it's the word don't you know it
Strictly hardcore Underground is how I flow it
I show it and let it be known, this good news
I love my life for Christ, But you live now you choose
We rock a show we rock some more, He gets the glory
Cause this is how we preach his word and tell his story
Cause when it comes to my God, there ain't no playing around
We either get on our knees or we can get down
And we can get down
So come and get some of this christianity
Dedicated my life, Now I'm a Soldier of G.O.D.
