BOOM
The Crystal MethodP.O.D. Lyrics

I never knew that a kid like me
I never thought my talent and passion for music would take me this far

Could take his mic around the world and flash the big S.D.
I am now a successful musician who is known and respected globally

And rock the masses, from Madrid to Calabassas
I perform for huge audiences in many different locations, from Spain to California

Tijuana, Mexico, bootleg demos in Tokyo
My music has been heard in various places, even through unauthorized copies in Japan and Mexico

They know me though, 'cause I be puttin' in work
People recognize me and my music because I have dedicated a lot of time and effort into creating it

Commit my life to rebirth, well respected, 'cause that's my word
I have devoted my life to music, and as a result, gained a great deal of respect from others

I'm sure you heard, about a new sound going around
You may have heard about the latest music trend

She might have left my hood, but she was born in my town
The new sound has spread from our hometown, even though its creator may no longer be here

We rep. the South, so what you talking about
We represent the Southern region of the United States, so what's the issue?

I'm not running off my mouth, I know this without a doubt
I'm not just talking big talk, I am confident in what I say and do

Cause if you know these streets, then these streets know you
If you are familiar with the streets, you are recognized and respected by those who live there

When it's time to handle business, then you know what to do
In important situations, we know exactly how to handle ourselves

Me and my crew, we stay true, old school or new
My team and I remain loyal to ourselves and our roots, whether our music is classic or contemporary

Many were called, but the chosen are few
A lot of people may attempt music, but only a select few will succeed

We rise to the top, what you want? Just in case you forgot
We have become very successful, but in case anyone has forgotten, we are still on top

Rush the stage, grab my mic, show me what you got
Those who want to challenge me can come to the stage, take the mic and prove themselves

Is that all you got?
Is that really the best you can do?

I'll take your best shot.
Whatever you can throw at me, I am ready to handle it

Boom! Here comes the Boom!
Here comes the big moment or exciting event

Ready or not, here comes the boys from the Lasal
Whether you're prepared or not, my crew from Lasal (our group's name or neighborhood) is coming

How you like me now?
Are you impressed with me and my abilities?

You didn't know, thought we was new on the scene
You didn't realize that we've been around for a while

I know you know, I see you smiling at me
I can tell that you have heard of me and my music, and you seem happy about it

Well, it's alright! It's alright!
Everything is good, no problems here!
