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

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 Lasal
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

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:Repeat x2]

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!

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!

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

    General Comment:Yeah, Payable On Death refers to Jesus death, and us facing up to how we have lived our lives upon our death.

    As for the debate about them being a Christian band; It's true that they said they don't want to be defined as a Christian band. That's because of the limit that the Christian music industry seems to place on bands. And beside, in my opinion, defining a genre as Christian rock, or Christian rap, etc. for that matter, is like defining all the rap songs that are about drugs in one genre, and all the songs about sex in another. Christian is a theme, not a genre.

    General Comment:I have to admit... I heard this song first on my favourite movie, Grind. (Good tunes... Line and Sinker, Headstrong, I'm Just a Kid, Boom... ehhh). Anyways, I've heard it a few other times but I won't get into that. I like this song it's really good. Probably just telling the world to get ready for something, I don't know.

    General Comment:Macman2511, payable on death is a banking term with a definition resembling the whole Christ dying for our sins thing. Sounds pretty Christian to me ;)

    General Comment:the video to this is hilarious. Look it up on YouTube, it kick ass. They're in a ping-pong championship, and they treat it like it's like football or basketball or some major sport.
