P.O.D. – I Am Lyrics

P.O.D. · Murdered Love

Rock

I am the murderer, the pervert, sick to the core
I am the unclean dope fiend, I am the whore
I am the beat down, mistreated, sexually abused
I am violated, fornicated, and sexually used
I am the con artist, cold hearted, smooth preacher
Cash stealer, emotion bleeder, the soul leacher
Feed off the poor but I'm a slave to the rich
I'm in depression so this reflection is makin' me sick

Are you the one that's come to set me free?
'Cause if you knew who I am
Would you really wanna die for me?
They say you are the cursed man
The one who hangs from this tree
But I know this is the one and only Son of God
So tell me who the f— is he?

I am fake, fraud, phony, I'm a known liar
Anorexic, rejected, object of your desire
Suicidal thoughts, keep one in the chamber
I'm a turned out streetwalking heroin banger
I am a secret cutter, porn lover, the town drunkard
Next door neighborhood slut, I'm somebody's mother
Outcasted, arrogant bastard son
I'm the talk of the town, but this story has just begun

Are you the one that's come to set me free?
'Cause if you knew who I am
Would you really wanna die for me?
They say you are the cursed man
The one who hangs from this tree
But I know you are the one and only Son of God
Then tell me who the f— is he?
So poison

So tell me
And now it's spreading like a deadly disease
And now it's spreading like a deadly disease
And now it's spreading like a deadly disease
But I won't let you bury me
Woo

I am

I am what you reaped, I am what you sewed
I am that guy talking to himself, I am alone
I'm the forgotten child, ravaged and raped through sex traffic
Since I'm a little strange, Daddy called me a faggot
I am insecure, immature, even I discuss me
In denial, pill poppin', prescription junkie

Are you the one that's come to set me free?
'Cause if you knew who I am
Would you really wanna die for me?
They say you are the cursed man
The one who hangs from this tree
But I know you are the one and only Son of God
Then tell me who the f— is he?
So poison

I see demons, eyes bleeding, my soul impure
Already know that I'm diseased
But tell me what's the cure?
This is me, we are him, and I am you
Old things pass away and all becomes new
This is me, we are him, and I am you
Old things pass away and all becomes new
This is me, we are him, and I am you
Old things pass away and all becomes new

The song is harsh but, it is showing others what non-believers are thinking about jesus christ today. I won't buy the song because I understand, I'm a believer. So I think the song is reaching out to believers to get us involved in sharing jesus christ with others.

I don't understand the controversy here. I am a believer saved by grace and if it wasn't for the blood of my Savior - these would be my words. Is the song harsh? Absolutely. Is the world we live in harsh? Absolutely. People as a whole have become so desensitized to flowery wording that sometimes it takes something a little darker and a littler edgier to get the point across. POD has been in the forefront of a genre of Christian music that has drawn in souls that would never listen to Newsboys ,Michael W Smith or any of that type of Christian music. I wish them Godspeed in the years to come as they continue to reach out to a generation of dark, lost souls.
