Know Me

Lyrics by Sonny Sandoval
Take 5 seconds, think about my crew, who am I P.O.D.

Listen my cry, What do you hear?
Live my breath, How do you feel?
Look my soul, What do you see
Imagine a moment, You don't know me

Take five seconds and listen up, open your mind. Never met me face to face, but persist to talk behind my back. In face, you never even seen me, never been where I am, from, where I'm at, or even be me so check me, test me. I ain't got nothing to loose, been down since the beginning. Stop and stare at me not who you are 'cuz your to scared to be.

Reap what I've sown, it all goes along with my past. It's not the first time I've struggled and it won't be the last. No class, when you talk about another how can you say you love me, when you hate your brother. You smother, but my faith keeps me. Difference between me and you holmes is that I'm forgiven. I got your back if you're down with my crew. I looked to him, so I don't answer to you.

Who am I, I am you

I'm just like you

Listen my cry and tell me, I know you hear me
Live my breath and tell me, I know you feel me
Look my soul, and tell me, I know you see me
I know you love me

Selah

Lyrics by Sonny Sandoval
Kick down the teeth of the wicked creep underground where I stay hid. Lurk down the alleyways, you be stalking me. Behind back talkers, cowards be mock'n me. Try to make me talk, make me confess. Can't break a brotha down when there's no fear of death. So you can't stand the sight of me, next to the conquering Lion, at His right I'll be.

Step up punks, get rushed, you can't touch me
Braced in your word, I say, I have no fear
Step up punks, get rushed, you can't touch me
Sheltered by Your blood, your sweat, your tears

I be all in your face, state my case even if you took me up. There's another to take my place, you waste. Prisoner to your pride you can never kill me off. I've got too much life on the inside. Kill me, beat me, break my bones. Already gave up my life, you'll never have my soul. Give credit to the on who paid for your crimes. Suffer for His name and I'll die for mines.

Selah

Identify your real master
Recognize and obey the sacrifice

One Day

Lyrics
The deeper and deeper I fall, deeper and deeper I seek. Deeper and deeper I try and deeper and deeper I need.

Forgive Me

And all I see is Your face

The deeper and deeper i fall, deeper and deeper I seek. Deeper and deeper I try, the deeper and deeper I need. The deeper and deeper I fail, deeper and deeper I read. Deeper and deeper I cry, the deeper and deeper I feed

Caught up in this game of life, me against you. Not doing what I should, just the things that I want to. So wrapped up, terrified of what I become. Outside I'm laughing, inside I'm numb. I can't see the light because it blinds me. Try to forget but my past always reminds me. Exposed, looked on by eyes of grace. I'm so ashamed, Don't look at my face

Get up by your strength, I rise up to thee, but I'll stay on my face if you will of me. Shape and mold me til your through. Humble myself, life laid down before you. I need your wisdom, so the truth I keep on living, and your love will always be a part of me. Can't do a thing, if I ain't living for the kind. So don't ever leave or take your eyes off me.

It's not who you are
It's who you're living for

Trials and tribulations will come

Breathe Babylon

Lryics by Sonny Sandoval
Babylon Breathe Babylon

I see you people babylon and on and on. Graven images, golden idols and false icons. I'm seeking wisdom like Solomon, but my antenae keeps on picking up evil transmissions. At headquarters I receive my mission. Blow up the ruler of the air like nuclear fission. So I analyze my weapons, laser guided rifles that shoot spiritual wisdom. I think I see enemy warriors. Fragile heathens tryin' to run stuff like mayors. So with brotha's that snuff punks, I set up time bombs to destroy the strong holds of Babylon.

We be tribes under grace, a righteous minority. Decadent culture make you forget your spiritual priority. Back down by the movement, soldiers who will serve ya. Open to be used by God, destroy you like Medo-Persia. Jewel of all kingdoms, live evil, purified Hurrah take you down. Don't look back, overthrown you like Sodom and Gomorrah arm of the law. Guilty of all crimes I be like the great Prophet Isiah. Predict your fall over 150 times, got rhymes you could never use for the purpose you be using. I'll dance over your fields. Present day Iraq still lies in ruins lies. Schemes, backstab persuasions bumrushed, get crushed by us, this rescue invasion

Look to the sky, heed the warning
The shadow is coming, the shadow is coming

The plagues are coming, the plagues are coming
I feel the breath of the Death Beast

Misled bureaucracy, full of hypocrisy. I gotta steel pulse, looking for a true democracy. Destruction, now your walls have fallen. Just sitting here waiting for the train to Zion.

Sit down in the dust, Babylon without a throne to call your own is 47:1. The city has fallen, she has fallen. Golden images of it's god lie shattered on the ground.

Preach

Lyrics by Sonny Sandoval
Let it be know that you heard it from here. When I'm on this microphone you know I make myself clear with the power, with the love with the boldness. Look in my eyes and remember who told you this. Payable on Death gonna hit ya hit-man. Talk all you want, I don't fear any man 'cuz ya frontin' ain't nothin but words to me. You never had the stuff and your butt ain't crazy enough. To handle, we come step to me. My King is He in the power of Three. So what you want you ain't down with us. You get so scared, so mad when I say the word Jesus. I ain't down, you preach too much, but if you ask me boy, I don't think I preach enough. I tell you God is real, so don't miss the boat, but since we come off hard, you say we shove it down your throats. You wanna talk that talk, walk that walk. I'm the only person you see, but it ain't me that you mock. Man is nothing, but you think that you're bad. Fool if it wasn't for my God, I would have already had you. Deny His name are you willing to admit it and if so, are you willing to die for it 'cuz I am, He is my life and I don't fear death 'cuz he already paid the Price. All your talk and all your threats ain't jack. Blaspheme my God, Yo punk I'm not having that. Turn away it's your own loss 'cuz all I can do is just take them to the cross.

Full Color

Lyrics by Sonny Sandoval
I cry why O' why did my mommy have to die? Too many questions, no answers confuses my mind. Like what did I do, what did she do, who's to blame, no one understands what I'm going through. So how can I trust what I can't touch and can't see. Believe in love and she's in front of me. Silence in your eyes, my heart so cold. No time for goodbyes, then you leave me alone.

So what do I do accept it and carry on? Or release my anger, until it's gone. Show you and this world exactly how I feel, death in full color, It's never been so real. It's been me and you, It's always been me and you. No matter what we faced, we always made it through. Get out of this dream, do what I gotta do. No one can take your place and I don't want them to. If I could take your place, I would, I would take your pain. Just to see you smile and say my name. Just to hear you laugh and hear you cry. I don't understand, I don't know why.

I've never been it this state of mind, life just don't make sense. With you I could move mountains, but right now I'm helpless I guess. You always knew what was best. Believed in your God, til the very last breath. You showed me how strong you can be. If Jesus saved your life, could he do it for me? I'll lay down my life for you and for Him Believe God's promise, I'm gonna see you again.

Lord here I am, but I am no one, believe in Your name, believe in your Son. If you meet me here I will wait on you. Sacrifice and serve, do what you want me to. I'll take it day by day, and sit at your feet 'cuz you are strong when I am weak. I seek to keep from going under until I hold you again, I'll always wonder.

Oh God why did my mommy have to Die?

Why did my mommy have to Die?

Seeking The Wise

Lyrics by Sonny Sandoval
The world keeps on turning
And you're locked up in it
Before I was lost, but now I am found 4x
Seeking the Wise 4x

I'm in like that and I'm right on time. I'm looking for the King and will find the way. The truth and the one that gives life. Payable on Death, and we're seeking the wise, no where to run, looking for the Son.

No where to run

You are, you are the one

I'm breathing dust of conspiracies, iniquities. Infiltrate the wisdom, but we bounce back and burn like the sun. I'm needing help like welfare recipients while false prophets keep writing fake manuscripts. Brought down like fugitives, saints on the warpath watch how you live. Oh God, please make me capable, 'cuz all human wisdom is fallible.

Live And Die

Lyrics by Sonny Sandoval
I get up Friday morning and I'm late for school. Only 13, but I got a mad pull, it's cool. Who needs a job when I can steal and rob. Making all that money, but my mom don't think it's funny. Call up the homies 'cuz today's the day they gonna make a man of me. A gangsta, an O.G. They say I'm young, but I got much heart. Feel like a kid inside, I know how to play the part. Gotta get jumped in, but man it ain't no thang. Five minutes of pain for the love of a gang. Might not be right, but it's all I know. Messed up and joined a gang, gave away my soul.

Nothing matters to me, except right now
Make it through till tomorrow, some way some how
You don't understand, but it makes sense to me
I won't stop until I rest in peace

I got my first 9-lim, so brothers beware looking to get into some trouble. All it takes is a stare without a care, I see some fools that ain't from my set. Represent what I claim, then take my respect. Scared as heck, but I'm down with how you figure. You might be big, but my trigga is bigga. Bust five shots as I fall to the floor. Within a single second, I become hardcore. I knew this morning, it would be one of those days G'. I missed them suckas again, but hit a lady and her baby

Get that fool
Live by the sword, Die by the sword
Innocent life, what they dying for
Live by the Gat, die by the gun
Who suffers when it's all said and done
