The Messenjah
P.O.D. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Teachers amongst the skeptics and guiding the misdirected
Infected with their lies and their alibis
With their third eye blind, out of line, they try to prophesy
I and I unfold the mysteries told
From the futuristic realms to the days of old
Make straight through the path of the one voice calling
Truth shines, back again two times in the Second Coming
I am the messenger
I am the messenger
I am the messenger
I am the messenger
This I pledge, and I'll take it to my death
I'll lay my life down for you and die over again
I and I, I'm not ashamed of the Most High
Even if I die tonight, if I die tonight
This I pledge, and I'll take it to my death
You can bet your life on my words and everything I said
You can't take away my love for this sacrifice
Even if I die tonight, if I die tonight
True king descendant, master to the apprentice
Pleased to release and reveal in me His presence
Forever blessed, I believe if Jah said it
The world of life came alive in the scriptures - I read it
All hail, we prevail, the Tribes of Israel, flow throught ya
We pursue the conquering lion of the Tribe of Judah
Don't let 'em fool ya, before this, the foolish get rushed
So don't stop, you never knew us
This I pledge, and I'll take it to my death
I'll lay my life down for you and die over again
I and I, I'm not ashamed of the Most High
Even if I die tonight, if I die tonight
This I pledge, and I'll take it to my death
You can bet your life on my words and everything I said
You can't take away my love for this sacrifice
Even if I die tonight, if I die tonight
The lyrics to P.O.D.'s song The Messenjah speak to the power of prophecy and the unwavering commitment of the messenger who is tasked with bringing the message to the people.

The messenger pledges to unfold the mysteries told from futuristic realms to days of old and to make straight the path of the one voice calling. The truth will shine bright, and it will be back again two times in the second coming.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "I am the messenger" four times, asserting the role of the messenger in relaying the truth. The messenger then swears to lay his life down for the people and to take his message to the grave. He's not ashamed of the Most High, and even if he dies tonight, his love for the sacrifice of bringing the message will endure.
The verse ends by referencing the Tribes of Israel and the conquering lion of the Tribe of Judah. The messenger urges the listener not to be fooled, as those who are foolish will be rushed. The final chorus repeats the pledge to take the message to the grave and the commitment to the sacrifice.
Overall, the lyrics to The Messenjah speak to the power of prophecy, the importance of bringing the message to the people, and the unwavering commitment of the messenger to the cause.
