BOOM
Now Playing: P.O.D. Lyrics

I never knew that a kid like me
I never thought that as a young person, I could have this level of impact

Could take his mic around the world and flash the big S.D.
Could travel to different parts of the world and represent San Diego through music

And rock the masses, from Madrid to Calabassas
And perform for large groups of people, from Madrid to Calabasas

Tijuana, Mexico, bootleg demos in Tokyo
Even in Tijuana and Tokyo, people have heard our music through unofficial channels

They know me though, 'cause I be puttin' in work
People recognize me because I work hard on my music

Commit my life to rebirth, well respected, 'cause that's my word
I devote my life to personal growth and am respected because I keep my promises

I'm sure you heard, about a new sound going around
I'm confident that you've heard about the new music style that's becoming popular

She might have left my hood, but she was born in my town
Even though that style of music may have originated somewhere else, it's still a part of my community

We rep. the South, so what you talking about
We represent the southern part of the United States, so what are you trying to say?

I'm not running off my mouth, I know this without a doubt
I'm not just talking and making things up, I'm confident in what I'm saying

Cause if you know these streets, then these streets know you
If you're familiar with the area where we come from, then you understand what we're about

When it's time to handle business, then you know what to do
When it's time to get serious and take care of things, we know how to handle it

Me and my crew, we stay true, old school or new
My friends and I stay loyal to who we are, whether we're following traditional values or contemporary ones

Many were called, but the chosen are few
A lot of people tried to make it in the music industry, but only a select few are successful

We rise to the top, what you want? Just in case you forgot
We become successful and popular, so what do you want from us? Just in case you forgot who we are

Rush the stage, grab my mic, show me what you got
Come up on stage, take the mic from me, and show us what you're capable of

Is that all you got?
Are you done? Do you have anything else to say or show us?

I'll take your best shot.
Even if you think you've given your best effort, I can handle it and still push forward

Boom! Here comes the Boom!
This is the climax of the song and things are about to get intense

Ready or not, here comes the boys from the Lasal
Whether you're ready or not, here comes our crew from Lasal

How you like me now?
This is a challenge to the audience to see how well they can handle our music and performance

You didn't know, thought we was new on the scene
You were unaware of us and thought we were inexperienced artists

Well, it's alright! It's alright!
Don't worry about it, everything is going to be fine

I know you know, I see you smiling at me
I can tell from your smile that you know who we are and you're enjoying the performance
