Текст песни:

Every time I turn my back I get the feeling that
I′m ′bout to take a shot to the skully with a bat
I′m out of control, need you to fill my soul up
And could you shed a little light on the skeletons holed up
My past is taking me to task
And I can′t guarantee how much longer I′ll last
Without You I′m a hopeless wreck
So I cry out Your name as I drop to the deck

Don′t get me started, don′t even get me started
Don′t get me started, don′t even get me started

I′m Yours
Take me as I am
I′m Yours
So take this space between us and fill it up again
I′m Yours
Take me as I am
I′m Yours
So take this space between us and fill it up again

Simple minded little punk
Thought I was the junk
Nobody ever told me that my doo-doo stunk
What was I out of my mind
Or was I just trippin′ on an ego
But You filled up the space and You never let me go
Bullseye to the center of my soul
One shot but it rocked like a fatal blow
This love was Your gun, mercy Your shells
Now I′m a dead man walkin′ down a skinny trail

I′m gonna shout it from the rooftops
Give it all I got
Shout it from the rooftops
So you can take your best shot
I′m gonna shout it from the rooftops
Give it all I got
Shout it from the rooftops
Like it or not

I′m a dead man walkin′
I′m a dead man walkin′ down the boulevard

Текст песни:

I clear my throat before I grab the mic
I need uno momento
Them cynics gonna ride me like a pinto
No resentment do you comprehend my innuendo
You still can′t leave the party til you drop your crucial info
Am I jaded in assuming that you′re simply bound to do me
Like them other lyricists who′s message ain′t so gloomy
Pan my positivity cause love has let you down
Cuz if they taste the love you tasted
They′d be making sweeter sounds, ′T

Government checks they flex with no dollars
Two turntables and a plate full of collards
Royalty checks reflects with few dollars
But my DJ makes the people wanna holler

[CHORUS]
Love is in the house and the house is packed
So much so I left the back door cracked
Mama always said it′s a matter of fact
that when love is in the house the house is packed
Love is in the house and the house is packed
So much so I left the back door cracked
Daddy always said that I wish I was black
cuz when love is in the house the house is packed

Packed like a baby nine months in the womb
Man it was packed like the closet full of Nike′s in my room
Singin′ Oh sweet Lord take me to the next level
Where the love′s much thicker than the stares of my devils
So whether or not this is a dream or reality
Let me appeal to the graces of His majesty
Amazing it will be when this tree bears life
My roots run to the river and the Giver of Life

Corporate jets they flex with big dollars
Two palm pilots and a room full of bawlers
Royalty checks reflects with few dollars
But amazing grace makes the people wanna holler

[CHORUS]

Woke up this morning, didn′t know what to do
There was people all around me tellin′ me to sing the blues
Said they ain′t seen no happy since 1992
Then they turned to me thinking I′d agree and I offered
this humble view

Текст песни:

I′ve played in L.A. and D.C., Manhattan and Sydney
And Kingston, Jamaica where my Mandy was made
It′s 98 degrees in the straight-up shade
I say I′m stickin′ with her for the rest of my given days

"Somebody told me that you′re takin′ a break
A sabbatical from rhymin′ on the records that you make
A little birdie said that wasn′t the case
They blamed your exodus on "DC" partners Kevin and Tait"

"Hold up, I didn′t say all that"

I wanna move the people on a hot summer′s day
I wanna serve up the Truth like it′s pink lemonade

[CHORUS]
So if you′re wonderin′ why I
Continue to try my
Skills at this rap game
Girl, I can′t get enough
I been rockin′ the black folks
And tellin′ those white jokes
And people are people
So just throw your hands up
If you′re wonderin′ why I
Continue to try my
Skills at this rap game
Girl, I can′t get enough
I been rockin′ the church folks
And tellin′ those same jokes
So all of God′s people
Won′t ya throw your hands up

I′ve been away for some down time
But thought it was ′bout time
To give my freaky people what they came here for
I guess I needed some head space
And felt that by God′s grace
My homosapiens would still be up for some more
I′m talkin′ God in my hip-hop
If not, then my show stops
And everyone around me knows I ain′t gonna sell -out
To those bad guys, they pushin′ them white lies
Tweak the word freak and you′ll be airing tonight guys

[CHORUS]

I wanna move the people on a hot summer′s day
I wanna serve up the Truth like it′s pink lemonade
I wanna give my people what they can′t deny
I wanna light up the skies like the Fourth of July

Текст песни:

I know you keep a journal and every page is rippled
From the tears that you cry, ain′t no meanin′ to your scribble
Cause words can′t describe what you′ve been feelin′ inside
It′s like thousand foot walls, and they′re still on the rise
But look up to a beautiful sound
And see for yourself you′re not that far down
And know this, I cannot love a little
My promise to you is unconditional

And I′ll keep the light on, baby
Just keep the course, you can weather the storm
I′ll keep the light on, baby
You′ve come this far, don′t you ever lose heart, now

Just turn around and I′ll be there
I′m moving into your atmosphere
Just turn around and I′ll be there
I′m moving into your atmosphere

I know you′re all alone in a crowd full of friends
I can see it in your eyes that your fadin′ again
Checking out, moving into your hole
Where the light can′t touch any part of your soul
But hold up and let the river rush in
You can turn around and start livin′ again
Cause your life is a beautiful bloom
In the image of the one that created you

I′ll be there

Said I′ll be there, said I′ll be there
Said I′ll be there always, forever

Текст песни:

[Verse 1:]
The dream is fading, now i′m staring at the door
I know its over cause me feet have hit the cold floor
Check my reflection, I aint feelin what I see
It′s no mystery
Whatever happened to a passion I could live for
What became of the flame that made me feel more
And when did i forget that...

[Chorus:]
I was made to love you
I was made to find you
I was made just for you
Made to adore you
I was made to love
And be loved by you
You were here before me
You were wating on me
And you said you′d keep me
Never would you leave me
I was made to love
and be loved by you

[Verse 2:]
The dream′s alive with my eyes opened wide
Back in the ring you′ve got me swinging for the grand prize
I feel the hate is spittin vapors on my dreams
But I still believe
I′m reachin out, reachin up, reachin over
I feel a breeze cover me called Jehova
And daddy I′m on my way
Cause I was made to love...

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Anything I would give up for you
Everything, I′d give it all away
[x3]

I was made to love you
I was made to adore you, made just for you
[x3]

Текст песни:

I′m a brand new man, I′m a conscious man
I′m a man who′s burnin′ for you
The mistakes I′ve made have been chased away to the bottom of the ocean blue
I′m a brand new man in a foreign land, I′m a man who′s feelin′ that fire
And it′s all so clear when I′m standing here at the peak of my desire

So won′t you move me like you used to
I want the world to know I burn for you

I feel revived again, I am alive again
(Burnin′ for you) You got me lifted and lifted you lift me up
I feel revived again, I′m energized again
(Burnin′ for you) You got me lifted and lifted you lift me up

Woke up in a sweat, those ghosts in my head
Had a grip, but I slipped on by
It′s a whole new day as the darkness fades
And the sun′s climbing in the sky
I concede, my love, that I need your love
I′m before you, a broken man
And it′s only you, no substitutes who can renew this soul again

You got me higher than Kilimanjaro
Got me believin′ I can "save the day"
I′m up and running like their ain′t no tomorrow
I′d rather burn for you than fade away
I′d rather burn for you than go my way

I′m a whole new guy with a whole new vibe
Changed inside - more flame in the fire
Can′t stop, won′t stop praying for desire
Like the bunny on the screen feel so energized
Old shell gone without a trace, new face
No more shortness of breath, new pace
Live life now without the taste of fear
TOBYMAC, Double Dutch now let the smoke clear

Текст песни:

Somebody said you better let go
′Cause they said so
But I could never let this thing go
Don′t they even know what that means
They call me obscene
Say I wear my faith on my sleeve
But I ain′t here to seek no glory
End of story, I know the judge and the jury
People always gotta ask who, what, when, and why
But never wanna step to the light

So I hear you say you wanna come and get some
Should I mention I got your attention
Know that I′m a man on a mission, my position is
Momentum

[CHORUS]
Been on a roll for two thousand years or so
We′ve got momentum baby

Livin′ on the edge of obnoxious
They call me raucous
I′m a freak, I can′t stop this
Ardently enthused about God
No hand-me-down nod
Your gonna get all I got
High-steppin′ from the twenty on in
Knees to my chin
I′m rollin′ deep in momentum
Burnin′ with the hard core flame
No shame in this game
I′m followin′ my heart not my brain

[CHORUS]

Been on a roll
Cause we got souls that won′t die
And this party ain′t over ′til we take flight
You′ve been told that we come bold on this side
You ain′t never known the dilly ′til we testify
Cause have you ever heard of turnin′ water into wine
And have you ever heard of givin′ sight back to the blind
It′s undeniable we′re droppin′ the Truth on this track
Cause once you start an avalanche there ain′t no turnin′ back

[CHORUS]

@ TobyMac

Текст песни:

Slackin′ off like a bum, I′m feelin′ ho hum
I′m feelin′ luke warm like the water in my tub
Started out and we was hot, looked up and now we′re not
We had that fire like we was boilin′ in a pot

Whoopsi-daisy, whoopsi-daisy, whoopsi-daisy
Come, we gonna catch that

Fire, I′m feenin′ for a flicker
Then we′ll fan the flame up into something bigger
Started out and we was hot, looked up and now we′re not
We gonna catch a fire, catch a fire for God

Whoopsi-daisy, whoopsi-daisy, whoopsi-daisy
Come, we gonna catch that
Whoopsi-daisy, call me crazy, whoopsi-daisy
Come, we gonna catch that

Fire, takin′ it from warm to hot
Fire, gotta give it all we got
Fire, whoopsi-daisy, call me crazy, whoopsi-daisy
Come, we gonna catch that

Spark to a flame, I′m flippin′ up my game
I caught the fire and I′ll never be the same
So unexplainable I can′t contain it, son
And my retaining it would only be a shame
So let me hear you say

Heat, like the Kingston concrete
There ain′t no stoppin′ the fire
We′re straight breakin′ ground
There ain′t no cooling this thing down
We burnin′ up and keep′n it krunk as we know how
Hear me now people

Catch a fire let it burn within
Catch a fire let it burn for him

Текст песни:

(Narnia)
(Narnia)

No one believed her
No one imagined it was true
No one could see her
Winter haven coming into view

She says she′s seen the land beyond
She says she′s walked her Babylon
She felt the cold beneath her feet
Where time stood still
Where the winter won′t sleep
(Where the winter won′t sleep)

I′ve seen the New World
(Like nothin′ before, Just step through the doorway)
Into a New World
(Into Narnia)
I′ve seen the New World
(Like nothin′ before, Just step through the doorway)
Into a New World
(Into Narnia)

All hope was fading
A darkness far beyond their might
But love came crusading
On the wings of healing sacrifice
He gave them somethin′ to believe
Came back in all his majesty
He conquered evil through his love
Inhibited the land they were dreamin′ of
(Love came crusading)

I′ve seen the New World
(Like nothin′ before, Just step through the doorway)
Into a New World
(Into Narnia)
I′ve seen the New World
(Like nothin′ before, Just step through the doorway)
Into a New World
(Into Narnia)

I never dreamed it but it seems that he′s alive again
Shakin′ his mane he′s just the same as I remember him
The spell is wakening with every breath he′s breathin′ in
And when I love it he′s our king again

(There, just behind the waterfalls)

(I′ve seen a New World.)
Into a New World
(Into Narnia)

I′ve seen the New World
(Like nothin′ before, Just step through the doorway)
Into a New World
(Into Narnia)
I′ve seen the New World
(Like nothin′ before, Just step through the doorway)
Into a New World
(Into Narnia)
Into a New World
(Into Narnia)

Текст песни:

They call us Diverse City, we′re colorful good
It′s like a freak show in your neighborhood
So, if you wanna praise you can come on down
Cause this freak show′s leaving the ground

Up, up and away, baby we don′t play, maybe you thought you was done for the day
He said, she said, I said this, that you can′t get away from your moment of bliss
Stirring, we′ll lure you in and we′ll make room for the shade of skin
Short ones, tall ones, skinny ones, bigger, love is the gun and we pullin′ that trigger
So you send me and I′ll send you hope in the form of a new tattoo
Mine is the shiny city on a hill and yours, of course, is the colors that fill it
We′ll take you high, we′ll take you higher

Now come to the city where you can praise
If you′re black, if you′re white, if you′re yellow or grey
In the morning, in the night, anytime of day
What′s that place - Diverse City
With curls in your hair and braids on the side
Straight shake′em loose, just come on and ride
We′re a body with parts, like you and me
Together we make diversity

Welcome to Diverse City, we′re colorful good
It′s like a freak show in your neighborhood
So, if you wanna praise you can come on down
Cause this freak show′s leaving the ground

Said we′re Diverse City, we′re colorful goods
It′s just a state of mind, we gonna shine the way that we should, baby
So, if you wanna praise you can come on down
Cause this freak show′s leaving the ground

You bring the heart, I′ll bring the soul
I′ll bring the flag, you bring the pole
We′ll fly it high so the whole world knows
The dream of a king ′bout to unfold

We ′bout to do this thing for real
Diverse City got mass appeal
So put your hand in the hand of mine
And we′ll spread this love like dandelions

@ TobyMac

Текст песни:

Momma never said it would be like this
I never knew such bliss existed
Or maybe it’s just so indescribable
Love was liable to get her twisted
She never told me but if she tried I was a little too young it floated right by me
I never dreamed love so fulfilling it’s simply killing and over spilling on me
It goes on and on …

This ain’t no ordinary love
Gonna tell everyone up under the sun

I refuse to believe we’re a dying breed
Children of peace hope and harmony
Ordinary folks extraordinary love
Something from above
Something we fall short of
You can’t see with an untrained eye
But if you take a little time you are sure to find it
We complicate something so basic
But once you taste it you gonna chase it like me
It goes on and on …

A - yo here we go, open up the gates and let it flow …
Love’s gonna take us higher

This ain’t no ordinary love
It’s extraordinary love

Текст песни:

Do you remember
The southern breakfast treat
Referred to as grits
But it looks like cream of wheat

[chorus:]
Don′t bring me down
Please, please
Don′t bring me down
[repeat chorus]

Check this
Yo, I know a secret
Too hard not to tell
(Don′t bring me down)
If grits was locked up
Gotee would post bail

[repeat chorus x2]

Are you familiar
With the southern breakfast treat
(Don′t bring me down)
Referred to as breads
But to me it looks like
Spooky cream of wheat

[repeat chorus x3]

Текст песни:

I′m on Flight 92, stuck on this runway
Waiting for a storm to pass before we take
Off, I just wanna get home, Lord
I′m gettin′ no signal on my cellular phone

I got my wife and my kids waitin′ for their daddy
At the baggage claim, Lord, I miss my family
I just wanna get home, Lord
I′m gettin′ no signal on my cellular phone

I just want to wake up, talk to the morning sun
Kiss my Mandy on the cheek, grab some breakfast and run
I love my family, Lord, bless my family
Please tell my family I′ll be home soon

I love my kids, y′know they love their dad
And I′m with them no matter where they′re at
So they know I love my family, Lord, bless my family
Please tell my family I′ll be home soon

I′m on Flight 92, stuck on this runway
Waiting for a storm to pass before we take
Off, I just wanna get home, Lord
I′m gettin′ no signal on my cellular phone

Текст песни:

We′re livin′ in extreme days

Comin′ at ya like a whirlwind
A hundred miles an hour′s where we′ll begin
I spy the eye of apprehension
Show me risk and you′ll get my attention

Come on, can ya take it
Bang to the bip I make ya wanna flip
Take my trip and you can bust your lip

I never fear ′cause I live fearless
Don′t even think for a second you can get with this

Come on, I never fake it, come on
These are extreme, extreme days
We′re livin′ in extreme days
These are extreme, extreme days
We′re livin′ in extreme days

I′m a freak from the burbs of the chocolate city
Luther Jackson was my middle
Pine Ridge my elementary
School of hip hop 1979
And Sugar Hill had the skills that taught me to rhyme

Got hip to Kiss and I tripped on Zeppelin
So Mr. Therapist, "Why did I go this direction?"
God had a plan to end all my schemes
I had a dream He said to be ... extreme

[CHORUS]

Just the other day I saw a kid
Who flipped his hat to the back and he called it a lid
You know what else he did?
He stacked books from the floor to ceiling
Said somethin′ bout trying to get to heaven
And he was only eleven
So he climbed to the top with outstretched arms
And he screamed at the top of his lungs

Move out my way
Give up the mic
"X" to me is extremely Christ
Livin up in me
Like it or not
Put an "X" on my chest
′Cause X marks the spot

Текст песни:

One time
One world
Two times
One love
Three times
Rewind
′Cause I’m a dedicate this song to everyone of God′s children

Come as you are
Come just like you be
It′s the bumps and curves of our history
But no block in the road that we can′t traverse
And no wounds from the past that can′t be nursed

All hate gonna to dissipate from our fate
No check, together we got a checkmate
All hate gonna dissipate and fade away
To make room for a brand new day we got

We got one world ′til its time to fly
So it′s one love ′til we say goodbye
We got one world its enough to share
‘Til we’re called home and we’re caught up in the air we got

One world
I′ll look out for you, you look out for me
One world
Together we can be perfect harmony
One world
I′ll look out for you, you look out for me
One world
And I’m a dedicate this song to everyone of God′s children

One world oughta be more than enough
And if its not, is God looking in pure disgust?
Wondering what the dilly with the silly I see?
When I made each of these in the image of me
Everyday is a chance for a new stance
Like every song is the beginning of a new dance
And everyone of us was made to reflect the light
And glorify the most high so bright we got

You can come as you are
Love is yours
Love is ours
I am a witness
To sweet forgiveness
You will shine like a star
Burning bright where you are in our one world

@ TobyMac

Текст песни:

It’s been a long time coming
Since I saw your face
Since we held it down
Since we were in the chase
It was the road less traveled
The path less formed
A skinny trail
It was barely worn
But we kept on walkin’ and slippin’ and talkin’ and runnin’ and fallin’ and cryin’ and crawlin’
We were in the trenches
On top of the world
Young refugees but we were momma’s pearls
Where you been dog? Where you been?

I thought you fell off the face of the earth …

It’s been way too long and we’ve come to far
For you drop out my life like a falling star
Right off my radar
Not a sign or a trace
You know I had love for you that’s bigger than mistakes
Now Hope road is calling
Let’s pack you up and move
‘Cause real friends are willing to intrude
So I’m gonna push in cause I wanna love you well
Let the ghosts of your past rest

Open up the door
This is the first day of the rest of your life
What are you waiting for?
This is the first day of the rest of your life

Open up the door
To life …

Behold I stand at the door and knock
If anyone hears my voice and opens the door
I will come in …
