  • 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, about a new sound going around
    She might have left my hood, but she was born in my town

    [Bridge]
    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!

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

    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
    Me and my crew, we stay true, old school or new
    Many were called, but the chosen are 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

    [Bridge]

    [Chorus: x2]

    [Bridge: Repeats]

    Is that all you got?
    I'll take your best shot. Writer/s: GARY KENNETH WHELAN, MARK PHILIP DAY, PAUL ANTHONY RYDER, PAUL RICHARD DAVIS, SHAUN RYDER

  • Leon from Waterbury, CtRemember when this song was used for, like, almost every action movie trailer? LOL...
  • Tristan from Omaha, NeThis is my favorite song from P.O.D. cause the first time i heard it in the movie "GRIND" I loved it and i think everyone should have a copy of this album cause it has some other great tracks such as "ALIVE" and "YOUTH OF THE NATION"
  • Jeff from San Diego, CaI saw them live in San Diego at SOMA and they rocked. My ears were ringing for 3 days straight! They have an uplifting undertone to their songs. POD will Live Forever!
