Can You Feel It?
P.O.D. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Children of God, Jesus' son
Gonna hit you hard, it's the hit man for Christ
Gonna steal your soul, you just might
You had no idea that Christians could be so hard core
We'll keep you flowing to the rhythm seeking more and more
Can you deal with it? 'cause this is real kid
How could you feel it boy if you don't move
How could you say you feel it if you don't groove
Just let your spirit go and keep going
Don't even try to stop this flow, it keeps coming
I see you there, you think you're really tough
But if you got soul you're rockin and ready to burst
Go with the flow and let yourself go
Gods running the show He's got control of my soul
Chorus
Can you feel it x4
P.O.D. (chanted x4)
What's the problem son? You said you wanted some
But when I started rocking POD got the job done
My Lord said hard, hard is how you hit 'em
One blow with the mic and the quincess is how I get 'em
Alternative thrash can you deal with it?
funk and groove with a hip hop feel to it
Giving you a style with a different kind of sound
So keep on rockin even when we bring it down
Bring it down, bring it down, bring it down ya'll
Bring it down, bring it down, bring it down
Bring it down, bring it down, bring it down ya'll
But don't change the funky funky sound
REPEAT
The opening lines of P.O.D.'s song "Can You Feel It?" introduces a dichotomy that is central to the theme of the song - how beliefs and identities can be multifaceted and not always fit into a neat box. The song acknowledges that those who are considered "infamous" by mainstream society can also be "Children of God, Jesus' son." This juxtaposition is a call to action for those who may struggle with reconciling their religious beliefs and their personal interests or lifestyle choices. The line "Gonna hit you hard, it's the hit man for Christ/ Gonna steal your soul, you just might" is a warning to the listener that the message they are about to receive may challenge their preconceptions and beliefs.
The song goes on to challenge the stereotype that Christians are not "hardcore." The lyrics emphasize that Christians can be just as passionate and dedicated to their beliefs as anyone else. The line "Can you deal with it? 'cause this is real kid/You must be one in a mil if you can't feel it" speaks to the idea that the message being conveyed is not for everyone, and only those who truly understand and feel it will find value in it. The singer then poses the question, "How could you feel it boy if you don't move/How could you say you feel it if you don't groove" - a call to action for the listener to embrace the music and allow themselves to be carried away by it.
Overall, "Can You Feel It?" is a song that challenges preconceived notions about what it means to be a Christian and emphasizes the importance of being true to oneself while embracing one's faith.
