P.o.d.



The Fundamental Elements Of The Southtown



Freestyle





Kids coming up from the alleys not like the valleys



Southtown San Diego rats out here in Cali



So Cal with the crew to show'em how



You like me now, with the sound straight underground



Putt'n it down, lift up this jewel that I have found



And pass it around, flowing against the crowd



Hip-hop hardknox rhym'n soon as the tune drops



Negative small talks, homie star kick'n rocks



and thake it all down the blocks where it belongs



A demo of songs but they wouldn't put me on



Thought I was gone, too late, but who's to say



My pockets are empty and I got dues to pay







To the tic tock you don't stop



To the tic tock you don't quit, hit it







Freestyle, freak with the flava it's the sure shot



Floss up the Ave, when the spot gets hot



Still pay'n dues and knock'em out the box







That's how it is homie like it or not



It's bad enough late bills keep stacking up



No one ever told me that it would cost this much



So buckle up and come along for the ride



Catching the vibes and staying true to my tribe



I got mad love for the ones that still around



Knew you'd be down from the get-go here and now



You make me proud from the diapers to the grave



No masqurade, stayed the same like in the day



On day when we all get saved



We're gonna change the world no matter what they say



And stay real playing what we feel



I'll keep praying for you while you shoot to thrill







It's been a long time



It's been a long time com'n



Hated by many and loved by less



Hold the thresh, resurrected here in the West



Clinch the fist; dismiss the stereotype myths



Loose lips sing ships, then plead the fifth



You hated this, no reason you hated this



If you only know you'd be the first one to enlist



We come in love cause its just how we does



Fit the frame staying the same as it ever was
