Set It Off

Our time has come watch me set it off
It's been a while but we back
So you can count it loss
We lie and wait don't hesitate
When opportunity knocks
Break the locks and rush the gates
Seize the day we got moves to make
It's got to be now
Cause we're half past late
Say what you say but you aint shown me nothin
If you want me to feel you
Then you best to show me something
All bark and no bite talking all hype
I hang with the illest
You I don't recognize
Desensitize and paralyze
Sabotage headquarters
Flood your bloodlines, we sterilize

Here we come
Chat down dem Babylon
The wicked man when he sees me I go run
Me understand
Why dem cowards don't want none
Underground blaze the sound to Armageddon

Our time has come

(chorus 2X)

RISE- Let your spirit fly
RISE- Stand up for yourself
RISE- Hold your head up high
Our time has come
Set it off

Choose my battles unravel your crew
Dismantle they still cant handle or fathom
What I throw at 'em
I can't imagine they babblin'
Acting like I'm laughing, don't find it funny
But I smile at your sarcasm
You plastic, so tragic, you fake
So you mask it, no gimmicks, no antics
We real and we've outlasted
Your phoniness, so you best to come correct
You want to disrespect
Why do cowards talk the loudest
Papa didn't raise no punk
On everything I love, if you ready
Then come and get it son
Overpower the strong tower
Infiltrate top ranks
Count down the final hour

Here we come
Chant down dem Babylon
The wicked man when he sees me I got run
Me understand
Why dem cowards don't want none
Underground blaze the sound to Armageddon

Our time has come

(chorus 2x)

Rise

(3x)
(Let your spirit fly)
We made it, We made it
We made it this far
(Let your spirit fly)
Don't you quit, don't you quit
Don't you quit on me

Rise (3x)
Set it off

(Chorus)
(continue until end of song)

Alive

Every day is a new day
I'm thankful for every breath I take
I won't take it for granted (I won't take it for granted)
So I learn from my mistakes
It's beyond my control sometimes it's best to let go,
whatever happens in this lifetime
So I trust in love (So I trust in love)
You have given me peace of mind

I, I feel so alive
For the very first time
I can't deny you
I feel so alive
I, I feel so alive (so alive)
For the very first time (For the very first time)
And I think I can fly

Sunshine upon my face (Sunshine upon my face)
A new song for me to sing
Tell the world how I feel inside (Tell the world how I feel inside)
Even though it might cost me everything
Now that I know this is beyond my control
'cause I could never turn my back away
Now that I see you (Now that I see you)
I can never look away

I, I feel so alive
For the very first time
I can't deny you
I feel so alive
I, I feel so alive (so alive)
For the very first time (For the very first time)
And I think I can fly

And now that I know you
I could never turn my back away
And now that I see you
I could never look away
And now that I know you
I could never turn my back away
And now that I see you
I believe no matter what they say

I, I feel so alive
For the very first time
I can't deny you
I feel so alive
I, I feel so alive (so alive)
For the very first time (For the very first time)
And I think I can fly
I, I feel so alive (so alive)
For the very first time (For the very first time)
And I think I can fly
I, I feel so alive (so alive)
For the very first time (For the very first time)
And I think I can fly
And I think I can fly
And I think I can fly

Boom

(Haha)

I never knew that a kid like me
Could take his mic around the world and flash the big S. D
And rock the masses, from Madrid to Calabassas
Tijuana, Mexico, bootleg demos in Tokyo
They know me though, 'cause I be puttin' in work
Commit my life to rebirth, well respected, 'cause that's my word
I'm sure you heard (heard), about a new sound going around
She might have left my hood, but she was born in my town

You didn't know, thought we was new on the scene
Well, it's alright! It's alright!
I know you know, I see you smiling at me
Well, it's alright! It's alright!

Boom! Here comes the Boom!
Ready or not, here comes the boys from the South
Boom! Here comes the Boom!
Ready or not, How you like me now?

I said
We rep. the South, so what you talking about
I'm not running off my mouth, I know this without a doubt
'Cause if you know these streets, then these streets know you
When it's time to handle business, then you know what to do (what to do)
Me and my crew, we stay true, old skool or new
Many were called, but the chosen are few (were a few)
We rise to the top, what you want? Just in case you forgot
Rush the stage, grab my mic, show me what you got

You didn't know, thought we was new on the scene
Well, it's alright! It's alright!
I know you know, I see you smiling at me
Well, it's alright! It's alright!

Boom! Here comes the Boom!
Ready or not, here comes the boys from the South
Boom! Here comes the Boom!
Ready or not, How you like me now?

I said
Boom! Here comes the Boom!
Ready or not, here comes the boys from the South
Boom! Here comes the Boom!
Ready or not, How you like me now?

Is that all you got? I'll take your best shot
Is that all you got? I'll take your best shot
Is that all you got? I'll take your best shot
Is that all you got? I'll take your best shot
Is that all you got? I'll take your best shot
Is that all you got? I'll take your best shot
Is that all you got? I'll take your best shot
I'll take your best shot

Youth Of The Nation

Last day of the rest of my life
I wish I would have known
Cause I didn't kiss my mama good-bye
I didn't tell her how that I loved her
how much I care
Didn't thank my pop for all the talks and all the wisdom he shared
unaware I just did what I always do
Everyday the same routine before I skate off to school
But who knew this day wasn't like the rest
Instead of taking the test I took two to the chest
Call me blind but I didn't see it coming
Everybody was running but i couldn't hear nothing
Except gun blast
It happened so fast
I didn't really know this kid though I sit by him in class
Maybe this kid was reaching out for love
Or maybe for a moment he forgot who he was
Or maybe this kid just wanted to be hugged
Whatever it was I know its because

We are we are, the youth of the nation
We are we are, youth of the nation
We are we are, the youth of the nation
We are we are, youth of the nation

Little Susie she was only twelve
She was given the world with every chance to excel
Hang with the boys and hear the stories they tell
She might act kind of proud with no respect for herself
She was loved in all the wrong places
The same situations just different faces
Changed up her pace since her daddy left her
Too bad he never told she deserved much better

Johnny boy always played the fool
He broke all the rules so you would think he was cool
But he was never really one of the guys no matter how hard he tried
Often thought of suicide
Its kind of hard when you ain't got no friends
He put his life to an end they might remember him then
You cross the line and theres no turning back
Told the world how he felt with the sound of a gat

We are we are, the youth of the nation
We are we are, youth of the nation
We are we are, the youth of the nation
We are we are, youth of the nation

[SOLO]

Whos to blame for the life that tragedies claim
No matter what you say it don't take away the pain that I feel inside
Im tired of all the lies
Don't nobody know why
just the blind leading the blind

(Well) I guess thats the way the story goes
Well it never makes sense
Somebody's gotta know

Theres gotta be more to life then this
Theres gotta be more to everything I thought exists

We are we are, the youth of the nation
We are we are, youth of the nation

We are we are (we are we are), the youth of the nation
We are we are (we are we are), youth of the nation
We are we are, (we are we are) the youth of the nation
We are we are, (we are we are) youth of the nation
We are we are, (we are we are) the youth of the nation
We are we are, (we are we are)youth of the nation (youth of the nation)
We are, youth of the nation (x3)
We are

Satellite

Satellite...Satellite
I wonder how clear it must look from there to here
No obstruction, this selfish corruption all in this atmosphere
No fear, less tears, only time to catch my breath
I fail to inhale, your love constricts my chest
Confusion blinded me - mental and physically
And its because of you that now I can see

So now I can run
I follow the Son and ride on to Zion
And dance this last song of freedom
But only time will tell, if its truly for real
Cant change your mind, all I know this is what I feel
Whether I'm wrong or right please keep my life in sight
And never take your eyes off me

As I look up to the sky today
Well I can see you looking down on me
It brings a smile to my face again
Sa-Sa-Sa-Satellite
Satellite....Satellite

Its truly one of a kind, like star shine, beyond night time
Are you there?
My eyes stare to find just what's behind this blind notion of mine
Is it genuine?
'Cause sometimes, it plays tricks with my mind
Some call it asinine
But its like love or hate, now is that real or fake?
'Cause its a real thin line, but that's your choice to make
The question at hand, help me understand
Is this your plan?
I think I can, can I think, then I think I can
Because I wont break (nah) and I wont shake (nah)
With lifted hands to this Man (Jah) I'll stand in faith
I'll make it through - my trust in you
Close my eyes, make a wish, kiss the sky, hey there - I see you

When I look up to the sky today
I can feel you looking down on me
It brings a smile to my face again
Sa-Sa-Sa-Satellite

Its truly one of a kind, like star shine, beyond night time
Are you there? Are you there? Are you there?

Ridiculous

Skillfully tested, rhythmically possessed with rhymes
And when it was time, Jah gave me the mic after he blessed it
He said share the loving, Prepare them for the second coming
Beware of false prophets 'cause they got my people buggin
Put on the full armor, cuz you know these fools they're gonna wanna
Talk behind your back, but stay away from the drama
You know that I'm 'a' keep you safe inside the palm of my hand
Cuz you the man and that's word to your mama
So give it to em..it's themselves that they foolin'
Got ahead of the game too quick, what they lack is ol' skoolin'
You know who's who, whether or not I'm talkin' to your crew
It's up to you to keep it true, nuff respect due

Chorus:
Dem test me crew but dey can't get with this
Dem all the same talkin' wickedness
Your style's been played and I'm already sick of it
Dem so ridiculous, Dem so ridiculous
Dem test me crew but dey can't get with this
Dem all the same talkin' the nonsense
Your style's been played and I'm already sick of it
Dem so ridiculous, You're so ridiculous

Original rude boy, we bring the styles
Ain't heard this in a while, check the stats reveiw my profile
They dime a dozen can't understand why they all fussin'
Known for talkin' loud, but they really sayin' nothin'
With every word you poison my mental concept
Negative be the topic and somebody's gotta stop it
And clear your mind and continue to come alive
And he love, we love, bring it back, come rewind

Chorus

To all my peoples that be keepin' it real
They know the time and they know the deal
To all my peoples that are down with this crew
We keep it live cuz this one's for you

Chorus

The Messenjah

I message, written in rhyme, prophetic
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 prophecize
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 Messenjah
I am the Messenjah
I am the Messenjah
I am the Messenjah

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 word of life came alive in these scriptures - I read it
All hail, we prevail, the Tribes of Israel, flow through ya
We pursure 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

I am the Messenjah
I am the Messenjah
I am the Messenjah
I am the Messenjah

...........................................I am the Messenjah

Anything Right

So much to say so little time for me
To explain the way I feel you only see
Things the way you want to see them (want to see them)
It makes sense to you
All these things you do
You got it all figured out
While everyone is confused
How do you do it? (How do you do it?)

In your mind I'm just blind
You're right all of the time
If I think for myself, I guess I'm way out of line
I'm not who you are
I'm so sorry (I'm so sorry)

Chorus:
I can't do anything right
You don't know me, stay out of my life
Kick me while I'm down, I want you to
I can't be like you
Don't wanna' be like you
I can't do anything right
You don't know me, stay out of my life
Kick me while I'm down, I want you to
I can't be like you
Be, Like, You

No matter what I do it's never good enough
I give all that is me, still it's never enough
So, why try? I give up
What does it feel like to be in your shoes?
And walk over everyone like you do?
Tear me down again, I want you to (want you to...)

You're lovely, so beautiful
And you're perfect, in every way
Your interior rusted and I'm so disgusted
Can't trust it
You're busted

Chorus

I can't do anything right
I can't do anything anything right
I can't do anything anything right
I can't do anything anything right
I do anything right
Do anything right
(Continue)

Ghetto

I believe
That this world believes in love
I believe
That this world believes in love
Love

We might never really agree
On anything about the lives we live
Between you and me
So differently
We don't always see things the same
We should agree to disagree
If we meet and love we can work it out

I believe you and I will overcome
I believe you and I believe in love
Love

Whether you think I'm so confused
Or if you feel the way I do
So don't give in to this hate within
Living in this world of pain
Don't let it bring you down

The world is a ghetto
''(repeat six times)''

I believe
That this world believes in love
I believe
That this world believes in love
I believe
You and I believe in love
I believe
You and I believe in love

Masterpiece Conspiracy

Evil eyes behind their smiles
You swallow it up when sincerity lies
And lock me up, label dangerous files
For the unknown, so you're scared of my style
Alert the press and address the states
Of emergency with a 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
(Make way)
It's a masterpiece conspiracy
(Make way)
It's a masterpiece conspiracy
(Make way)
It's a masterpiece

I'd rather hear it from you than be lied to
Call it what it is, like the heathens do
Lives of betrayal, deceived again
Exposed by the light, two colors of sin
Take down the regimen, break the trend
Rushed by your peers and your so-called friends
Keep your peoples 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 a look of disgust
Uprise, now fall in line
Roll with the pack or get left behind

(Chorus)

Liar, backstabber, betrayer
Deceiver, liar
Liar, backstabber, betrayer
Deceiver, liar

Backstabber
Yeah, you're such a backstabber

Without Jah, Nothin'

One, two, three, four!
Without Jah, Jah, what you say
What you say is nothing
Without Jah you wanna say
So say something
Without Jah, nothing to nothing
Cause everybody says
Yeah everybody says
It's just something
With Jah, Jah, I live off, I live off
Of Jah, Jah
With everybody's sayin something
Something with Jah
Nothing without Jah
Without Jah, without Jah,
Nothing, nothing

Without Jah, nothing
Nothing
Without Jah, no nothing
Nothing
Without Jah, nothing

With everything you need and more
Let everything living love the Lord
With Jah, something, something
Without Jah, oh, he is nothing, nothing

Without Jah, nothing
Nothing
Without Jah, no nothing
Nothing
Without Jah, nothing

La la la la lo, we sing
Don't you know it's about the crazy human rights?
So sing along but party
What we say, each and everyday day
That Jah will lead the way

'Cause
Without Jah you ain't nothing
Without Jah nothing
And without Jah nothing
And with Jah everything
With Jah you're something
Now we got something
Now we got something
My people have shown
My Jah is something
My people have shown about
With something
Those people that love,
Them, them is something
'Cause they know that
Without Jah, nothing

La na na la la na na...

Whenever Jah loves
You don't know it's anything
'Cause
With Jah you know
You're everything
So crazy human rights
Compadre is everything
P.O.D. is gonna lead we on the way
For eternity
P.O.D. is gonna lead the way
Without questionality in the unity
Black and white behind them
We living for humanity

Without Jah, nothing
La, la, la, la, no
Without Jah, nothing
And with Jah, everything
Hey, wanna love, wanna love,

Jah love, Jah love, Jah love, yeah yeah yeah
Without Jah you're nothing

Without Jah you're nothing
And with Jah you're everything
And with a Jah something
And with a Jah something

Jesus loves you
Jesus Christos loves you
Jesus Christos loves you
Jesus Christ he'll love you

(If I, keep living Lord
And I, keep tripping Lord
Oh, well
Woh, wawowawah
The whole world, whole world)

Whole World

Thinking About Forever

Time goes by and God knows I try to carry on with life
Decide not to hide feelings inside, even though they hurt
Sometimes, I forget to remember you
It's easy to lock away these pains, don't want to relive it through
But I stay strong, you taught me how to move on in this world
I married my sweetheart, even got a little baby girl
I wish you could see her, I swear she looks just like you
If you can hear me, show me a sign, please send her a butterfly or two

chorus:
I'm thinking about forever (missing you)
I know you're so much better (we made it through)

Now I know what it means to live for someone else
To give up yourself
Things have changed, at times it gets kind of strange
Your love remains the same
Do I make you proud? Mama, can you see me now?
Whatever is good in me is because you showed me how to take love by the hand
And so now I can share you with my baby
So that she can understand

chorus

ending chorus:
I'm thinking about forever (missing you)
I know you're so much better (we made it through)
I'm thinking about forever (missing you)
I'm tripping on whatever (hearing you)

Portrait

You're not who they say you are
They made you the enemy
(CHRIST-jah flesh; CHRIST-light within; CHRIST-Begining and the end)
Taken something so beautiful
Painted a new picture that makes me sick
(CHRIST-Witness; CHRIST-Living one; CHRIST-First and last)
Feed our minds confusion
Sweeten the taste of pollution
(CHRIST-Word life; CHRIST-Ressurect; CHRIST-Everlasting jah)
CHORUS:
Some people call you father
Maybe you could set me free
These people hate each other
But you've always been there for me

I refuse to be like you
Without my life, caving in
(CHRIST-Jah flesh; CHRIST-Light Within; CHRIST-Begining and the end)
I surrender, giving up all that is me
Yielding to you
(CHRIST-Witness; CHRIST-Living one; CHRIST-First and the last)
Shape me in my brokeness
Empower me forever
(CHRIST-Word life; CHRIST-Ressurect; CHRIST-Everlasting jah)
CHORUS
I know you will complete this work started in me
I need you more than ever now that I know who you are
I know you will complete this work started in me
I need you more than ever now that I've come so far
