Payable On Death Brown Lyrics
1.Intro


2.Know Me

Take five seconds, Think about my crew, Who am I...P.O.D.
Listen my cry,
what do you hear?
Live my breathe,
how do you feel?
Look at my soul,
Who do you see?
Imagine a moment,
YOU DON'T KNOW ME!
Take five seconds & listen,
open your mind never met me face to face,
but persist to talk behind my back,
in fact, you ever even seen me never been where I'm from,
Where I'm at,
or ever be me so check me,
test me,
I ain't got nothing to lose been down since the beginning,
still payin' dues so uh!
Drop what you're doing,
stop & stare at me not who you are,
'cause you're too scared to be.
Listen my cry,
what do you hear?
Live my breathe,
how do you feel?
Look at my soul,
Who do you see?
Imagine a moment,
YOU DON'T KNOW ME!
Reap what I've sown,
it all goes along with my past.
It's not the first time I've struggled
and it wont 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 driven
the only difference between me and you,
holmes, is that I'm forgiven I got your back,
if your down with my crew I looked to Him,
so I don't answer you.
Listen my cry,
what do you hear?
Live my breathe,
how do you feel?
Look at my soul,
Who do you see?
Imagine a moment,
YOU DON'T KNOW ME!
Who am I,
I am you 8x
I'm just like you 4x
Listen my cry and tell me,
I know you hear me Live my breath & tell me,
I know you feel me Look at my soul & tell me,
I know you see me I know you love me.


3.Selah

Kick down the teeth of the wicked creep
undaground where I stay hid lurk down the alleyways,
you be stockin'
me behind back talkers,
cowards be mockin' me.
Try to make me talk,
make me confess can't break a brotha down,
when there's no fear of death that filled with the light,
so you cant stand the sight of me
next to the conquering lion,
at His right I 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 out there's another to take my place you
waste,
prisoner to your own pride
you can never kill me off,
got too much life in the inside kill me,
beat me,
break my bones,
already gave up my life,
you'll never have my soul
give the credit to the one,
who paid for your crimes suffer for HIS name,
& I'll die for mines.
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.
(Selah) Identify your real master recognize & obey the SACRAFICE

6.One Day

The deeper and deeper I fall...
the deeper and deeper I seek.
deeper and deeper I try...
deeper and deeper I need...
FORGIVE ME! 4x
and all I seek
is your face 2x...
the deeper and deeper I fall..
the deeper and deeper I seek...
the deeper and deeper I try...
the deeper and deeper I need...
The deeper and deeper I fail...
the deeper and deeper I read...
the 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've become.
Outside I'm laughing,
inside I'm numb.
I can't see this light because it blinds me,
try to forget but my past always reminds me.
Exposed,
looked on by eyes of grace I am ashamed,
don't look at my face.
All I see
is your face 4x...
Get up by your strength,
I rise up to thee but I'll stay on my face
if you will if me shape and mold me till you're through.
Humble myself,
life laid down before you
I need your wisdom,
so the truth I keep on living
and your love always will be a part of me.
Can't do a thing if I ain't livin' for the king,
so don't ever leave or take your eyes off of me.
IT'S NOT WHO YOU ARE,
IT'S WHO YOU ARE LIVING FOR,
THE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS WILL COME!


7.Punk Rocks


8.Breathe Babylon

Babylon, Breathe Babylon 8x.
I see you people babel on 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 recieve my mission,
blow up the ruler of the air. (Eph. 2:2) Like nuclear fission
so I analyze my weapons
laser guided rifles that shoot spiritual wisdom
I think I see my 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 strongholds...of Babylon.
Babylon, breath Babylon 8x.
We be tribes under grace,
a righteous minority decadent culture
make you forget your spirital priority.
Back down by the movement,
soldier 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 Sodam & Gomarra.
Strong arm of the law,
guilty of all crimes.
I be like that great prophet Isaiah,
predict your fall over 150 times.
Got rhymes that 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.
Babylon, breath Babylon 8x.
Look to the sky,
heed the warning,
the shadow is coming, the shadow is coming 8x.
The plagues are coming,
the plagues are coming,
I feel the breath of the dead beast 4x.
Misled bureaucracy,
full of hipocracy,
I gotta steel pulse,
looking for a true democracy destruction,
now your walls have fallen.
Just sitting here,
waiting for the train to Zion.
'DIRT' representing 'SHADOW OF LOCUSTS'
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 gods lie shattered on the ground.
Babylon, breathe Babylon 8x.

10.Preach

Let it be known that you heard this from here.
When I'm on the microphone you know I make myself clear.
With the posewr,
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 but 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 and the power of THREE!
So what you want you ain't down with us.
You get so scaredand so mad when I say the word JESUS!
I ain't down you preach too much
but if you ask me boy I think I don't 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 you mock.
Man is nothing,
but if you think that you're a bad fool.
If it wasn't for my God,
I would of 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 have to fear death because he already paid the
price.
All your talk and all your threats ain't jack.
Blaspheme my God,
yo punk
I'm not havin' that.
Turn away,
it's your loss 'cause all I can do is just take them to the
cross.

12.Full Color

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 your eyes,
my heart so cold,
no time for goodbyes,
then you leave me alone.
So what do I do,
except it and carry on
or release my anger, until it's gone
show you and this world what 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 through.
Get outta that 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 see you laugh
and hear you cry
I don't understand,
I don't know why.
I've never been in this state of mind,
life don't make sense.
With you I can move mountains,
right now I'm helpless I guess,
you always knew what was best.
Believed in your God,
till 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 in 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 you want me to.
I'll take it day by day,
and sit at your feet.
You are strong and I am weak.
I'll seek,
to keep from going under until I hold you again,
I'll always wonder.
Why did my mommy have to die. (repeats)


13.Seeking The Wise

The world keeps on turning
and you're locked up in it. 4x
Before I was lost, but now I'm 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.
Nowhere to run looking for the son.
No where to run. 2x
You are,
you are the one 2x.
'DIRT' representing 'Shadow of the Locusts'
I'm breathing dust of conspiracies,
inquinties infiltrate the wisdom,
ubt we bounce back,
and burn like the sun.
I'm needing help like welfare recpients,
while false prophets
keep writing fake manuscripts.
Brought down like fugatives,
saints on the warpath,
watch how you live.
Oh God, please make me capable,
cause all human wisdom is fallible.


14.Live And Die

I get up Friday and I'm late for school,
only 13 but I got 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 its funny
. CAll up the homies,
cause today's the day they gonna make a man of me,
a gangsta, a 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 thing,
5 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 TO TOMMOROW SOMEDAY, SOMEHOW!
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, BUT IT MAKES SENSE TO ME!
I WON'T STOP UNTIL I REST IN PEACE! 2x
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 how you figure you might be big,
but my trigga is bigga.
Bust five shots as I fall to the floor
with 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.
LIVE BY THE SWORD DIE BY THE SWORD!
INNOCENT LIFE,
WHAT ARE THEY DYING FOR?!
LIVE BY THE GAT,
DIE BY THE GUN!
WHO SUFFERS WHEN IT'S ALL SAID AND DONE?!
