they're from socal. Apparently it was present in their neighborhood. words like Jah and one love and references to Babylon and Zion are definitely rastafarian in origin though.
Jah is a contraction for jahweh (yahweh) found somewhere (cant remember where) in the psalms referring to God. Babylon and Zion are general biblical terms, i at first thought they were rastas but then did a little research
It comes from their 2001 set, which I think was the last time they played the Tomfest. I've got P.O.D's whole set recorded, I'll upload some more. Thanks for your comments.

This is the song they were playing when I went crowd surfin at the show in Philly in 2004. I don't think Marcos was with the band at the time though.

Their roots (musically) are a mixture of reggae, rock & rap. Reggae is HEAVY in their music, if you listen closely.

Jah is sometimes how David would refer to Jehovah, which is God's name.
pistachio180 2 years ago
makes sense, david wrote the psalms where "Jah" appears
Chadgervais 2 years ago
Jehovah was a translation of Yahweh, and that word is simply the Hebrew word meaning God.

its in exodus where God tells moses to refer to hm as that, it in fact only means God in hebrew
