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 …

@ TobyMac

Текст песни:

Fresh air, (sigh),
Is what I needed
I ventured through my door
Proceeded
Into the streets of this place
I had to lower my shades to shade my face
Still squinting from the glare
What I saw was unfortunately rare
I rolled upon a variety
The sight that moved my heart
Deep inside of me
I head some cats rockin mics
Saw mad stunts on BMX bikes
Sons and daughters
Standing for their rights
A city scene lit
Well through the night
Tilted trucker hats with tats
Hittin high hats
Pinstripe sellard suits
Invested mad beats
Truth
Distinct how we live it
Many members but only one spirit.

Individualized
You′re on the same side
Separated verticals
Huh!
We still ride
Well we bring it from nice to gritty
Read the sign kid, Diverse City.

Текст песни:

Yo, its me, Tobymac and I dont meanto trouble you
Im feelin fresher than a night at the W
You probably sayin you be hearin quite enough of you
With God and your rhymes and that freaky Jesus stuff you do
Like always pushin for that racial diversity
Leave us alone were at home in our fantasies
I know a guy who knows a guy who has brown skin
What in his wallet it so happens Im around him
Well never be that shinin city on a hill yall
Until we show and prove to the people what is real yall
Its like were stale dirty water in the tub of life
Gimme a fire that inspires all the world tonight
Gimme a fire that inspires all the world tonight

@ TobyMac

Текст песни:

And we′re back...it′s me,
your around-the-way girl
rollin′ through the night on the
Quiet Storm.
Tonight is kinda special...
we got Toby Mckheen up in here
so let′s get down to it
now, Toby-
what′s up?

In studying the landscape of your musical evolution,
it appeared as though you were maturing beyond your,
"so-called" rap years... (toby chuckles in background)
now suddenly like a ghost from the past
you present the public with this....
Toby Mac CD?

Текст песни:

Do you know where you′re going to
Do you like the things that life is showing you
Where are you going to
Do you know

This goes out to my man his name is True Blue
For all the nights that your Daddy spent away from you
For all the days that I told you "Maybe next time"
Laid up in the studio consumed with my next rhyme
What kind of lyric can I drop to make you think twice
About the trials that you′re gonna face in this life
I can lullaby even point you to the Most High
Prayin′ every little thing is gonna be all right
Someday my love isn′t gonna be fulfilling
Try as I may, human love it hits a ceiling
But I can sow the seeds, say a prayer, this I know
If faith can move a mountain
Surely God can make His spirit grow in you

[CHORUS]

This goes out to my little man t Mac
For all the junk you′ve been carrying on your back
My burden′s easy and My yoke is a featherweight
And this you know yet you′re still a man of little faith
What can I do to spring your knowledge into how you roll
Don′t you have the Spirit and the letters that My people wrote
My love stretches farther than your mind can conceive
I′ve got a hand full of grace, a heart full of mercy
Someday My son, your gonna find My love fulfilling
Hope as I may, you′ve got to turn in when you′re willing
I′ll take you as you are and just to add a human touch
I gave to you a son so you can understand the Father′s love for you

[CHORUS]

God will light your path if you want Him to
Just emphasize His lead and your dreams will come true
From the Father to the Son to the multitudes
He′s the lover of you soul, spiritual, baby do you know

[CHORUS]

Текст песни:

I′m staring unaware cause I′m in the zone
It moves in like a fog on a seaside road
Paralyzed by the signs and the deafening tone
I′m on a lock like a jock with a broken bone
I can see the real game and I want to get in it
I can read your headline and I am dying to spin it
Man down in the clutches of his own desire
I got to find the kind of speed that will put out a fire

I need a getaway car, I gotta get out of here fast and far
I need a getaway car, I wanna flea what I see, wanna be where you are
I need a getaway car, I gotta get out of here fast and far
I need a getaway car

I put my hand on the wheel before I change my mind
I put my foot to the floor and I start to fly
I keep my eyes on the road so I don′t get spun around
To the nightmare I′ve been delivered from
It′s a brand new day, I drove hard all night
I thank God for the sun as it starts to rise
I take a peek in the mirror and my past is gone
I′m feelin′ free as a bird with a new song

Now I ain′t gonna stop ′til I find your peace
I gotta get to the place where it′s you and me
So fill′er up now, and let′s roll
Gonna drive through the night ′til you touch my soul
Said I ain′t gonna stop ′til I find your peace
I gotta get to the place where you′re all I need
So fill′er up, let′s roll
I′m gonna drive through the night till you touch my soul

Let′s ride all night, let′s shift this thing into overdrive

@ TobyMac

Текст песни:

Suggestions, questions
People want to know
Is there life after talk
Cause there′s talk on the row
Twistin′ words that I′ve never even said
To the ones that I trust
Or my "Boo" in our bed
Will he make it, I bet he won′t
As they′re runnin′ through the minutes
On their cell phones
So the picture′s painted
You got the point
And that junk′s creepin′ into my solo joint

Sometimes I feel God in the middle of the night
In the cool of the shade in the bright sunlight

[CHORUS]
I always feel like somebody′s watchin′ me
Watch baby, watch baby, He got my back
See I′m down with the King
So I got it like that

It′s no joke, I′ve been roped in
Chokin′ on a bone
From a fish in the school of your twilight zone
You shook me, took me to another place
Where the air I′m breathin′s like mace in my face
If this controversy is your way
You need to know I′ll never doubt my destiny
′Cause I′m stickin′ to my guns like a son of the Light
Feelin′ Dad, I′m feelin′ Daddy in the air tonight

Sometimes I feel Grace in the middle of the night
In the cool of the shade in the bright sunlight

And sometimes I feel God in the midst of a show
As the palm trees sway in an afterglow

[CHORUS]

Текст песни:

Why’s it always circumstantial?
Never any real potential
Obvious and so sequential
It always ends the same
Holding out with all that’s in me
Is it worth all this pretending?
A story with an ugly ending it’s never worth the pain

So right here and now I am all in

‘Cause I’m letting go of everything I am
And I’m holding on to everything You are
I’m letting go of everything I once was
I’m all in
I’m fallin’ into Your arms again

Can we just wait out the weather?
I could stay right here forever
Got to get myself together
Real life is on the way
Call it my foregone conclusion
I’ll always welcome Your intrusion
You’re the master of my choosing
I’m all Yours

This time I’m so for real
It’s time I sealed the deal
Shut down my lame appeals
I’m letting go
I’m letting go
I’ll throw caution to the sky
Kiss all my fears goodbye
This time its do or die
I’m letting go …

@ TobyMac

Текст песни:

Everybody everybody in the place to be
Open up your mind and let your soul be free
I can feel the Most High shining on me, so ...
Let′s get this party started

Everybody everybody in the place to be
Open up your mind and let your soul be free
I can feel the Most High smiling on we, so ...
Let′s get this party started

Blind-sided by the blitz
Come on baby it′s on
I couldn′t wait to get on this
You ain′t no quiet storm
I′m gonna tell it like it is
There ain′t no stopping us now
Somebody shut me up so I can live out loud

[CHORUS]

Them people thought I was gone
It′s been a long time comin′
But straight out the box
We got the dark side runnin′
So Father, Most High won′t You show Yourself
And shine on this record like nobody else

@ TobyMac

Текст песни:

We′ve been down to the bottom
Stories we got ′em, when we hit rock bottom
If you been there put your hands in the air
To let the lost know that someone cares
Cause we′ve been down to the bottom
Stories we′ve got ′em, when we hit rock bottom
If you been there put your hands in the air
And let somebody know that the Most High cares

I never knew that it would feel like this
When the two that raised you up and call it quits
Nobody told me ′bout the emptiness
When the place you call home is closed for business
I push the pain down, I gotta "get by"
Always knowin′ in my heart that it ain′t gonna fly
Rock bottom′s never felt so near before
And if pain is God′s megaphone it′s loud and clear
So hold me now father, human love ain′t enough
I′ve failed and been failed by the people I love
But your faithful arms they surround me
And any other soul who has to sail those seas
Of a broken family

Been so many times that I′ve been close to rock bottom
Tryin′ to look for answers but nobody′s got ′em
Like the time my mother looked me in the eye
Tryin′ not to cry, tellin′ me the cancer might cause her to die
How can this be, I thought that God loved me?
So why would he try to take my mother from me?
And as I cry myself to sleep at night, holding on my pillow tight
He spoke to me and said that everything gonna be alright
So I tried to fight all the pain that it caused
Try to move on and I try to stay strong
So put your hands up, hey, if y′all are feelin′ me
And put your hands up for everyone to see
So put your hands up, we all a family
So put your hands up, in unity, in unity

I′ve been there too
When everything falls apart and the best you can do is
Get through each day wonderin′ will this never end?
Is it always going to be this way?
And the greatest lie you′ve ever been told is that
You′re the only one to ever walk on this road
And that you′ll never see the light of dawn, so we came together to say
Hold on
Cause we′ve been there and found our way home
I promise you that you′re not on your own
One day this will pass, God will see us all through
God will see us all through, God will see us all pass through

Текст песни:

I told the girl that you should treat her like a lady and
She told me all the things you did and it was shady, man
She said that what you say and what you do are different things
While you were telling me that you were checking out them blingy rings

She said she′s had enough
Well, it sounds to me like you′re straight out of luck
And she said she′s all through
And life′s not blowin′ her kisses thanks to you

I wanna know, wanna know what you were thinkin′
I can′t imagine why it didn′t even sink in
They say you never know what you got till it′s gone
(Never know what you got till it′s gone)
I wanna know, wanna know what you were thinkin′
I can′t imagine why it didn′t even sink in
They say you never know what you got till it′s gone
(Never know what you got till it′s gone)

She said she′s had enough
So, it sounds to me like your still out of love
And she said you weren′t true
And life′s not blowin′ her kisses thanks to you

She said it′s gonna be alright
Cause God made a way through the pain and he opened her eyes
And she said you came crawling back
But after what you did to her she wouldn′t have any of that

Man what you talkin′ about
You can′t pop no wheelie
[Tru Dog:]
