    What's Goin' Down

    Stop, what's that, everybody
    Stop, what's that, everybody

    What's goin' down, tell me what's goin' down
    What's goin' down, tell me what's goin' down

    Now welcome to the world of a kid named Mikey
    Who had only one reason to be hated by whitey
    Raised on a farm outside of South Bend
    Where they hated on him cause he was African American
    But three years later, Mikey was the town pride
    Basketball Mikey went and got himself a full ride
    Earned his acceptance on a hardwood floor
    And that's something white America would never ignore

    (chorus)
    Stop, hey, what's that sound
    Everybody look what's goin' down
    Stop, hey, what's that sound
    Everybody look what's goin' down
    What's goin' down, tell me what's goin' down
    I wanna know just what's goin' down
    What's goin' down, I'll tell ya what's goin' down
    You wanna know just what's goin' down

    Take a look around
    Everything is comin' down
    Do you hear the subtle sounds
    Of our morality slippin'
    People on the go
    We'll be reapin' what we sow
    Yeah we say we want to know
    But I got my suspicions

    Now welcome to the world of a girl named Susie
    Susie's only crime was that she was born a cutie
    Physically abused by her uncle and his friends
    Alcohol let 'em all leave the house with grins
    But Susie couldn't shake off the memories
    Forced to find her own kind of remedy
    A man-eater for the rest of her days
    Three kids, three men, no daddies by eleventh grade

    (repeat chorus)

    Take a look around
    Everything is comin' down
    Do you hear the subtle sounds
    Of our morality slippin'
    People on the go
    We'll be reapin' what we sow
    Yeah we say we want to know
    But I got my suspicions

    What be goin' diggy down
    What be goin' diggy down
    What be goin' diggy down
    When you find what you lost
    But you lose what you found

    What be goin' diggy down (something's happening)
    What be goin' diggy down
    What be goin' diggy down (something's happening)
    When you find what you lost
    But you lose what you found

    What be goin' diggy down (something's happening)
    What be goin' diggy down
    What be goin' diggy down (something's happening)
    When you find what you lost
    But you lose what you found

    Stop, hey, what's that sound
    Everybody look what's goin' down

    What's goin' down, tell me what's goin' down
    I wanna know just what's goin' down
    What's goin' down, I'll tell ya what's goin' down
    You wanna know just what's goin' down

    Stop, hey, what's that sound
    What's goin' down, I'll tell ya what's goin' down
    Stop, hey, what's that sound
    You wanna know just what's goin' down
    Stop, hey, what's that sound

    Irene

    (chorus)
    Hush little baby, don't you cry
    Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby
    Everything's gonna be alright
    The Lord's gonna answer your prayer tonight
    Hush little baby don't you cry
    Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby
    Everything's gonna be alright
    The Lord's gonna answer your prayer

    Last night you had a dream you was the homecoming queen
    Today you're 18, happy birthday Irene
    Quit school, you had to drop out to raise your little child
    Doesn't seem to be anyone around
    You got to reach up to touch rock bottom
    The powers that be keep you downtrodden
    Daughter of Zion, I heard your prayer
    Just cast your cares and please beware of snakes
    They come in all shapes and sizes
    Tempt you, put scales on your eyelids
    Don't waste your sorrows
    They'll give you strength tomorrow
    Your Calvary's about to come so
    Keep your head up, don't you ever let up
    This storm will pass, you'll be ready for the next one

    Hey little girl with the pressures of the world
    On your shoulders, don't say that it's over
    I heard your prayers, just cast your cares
    And I'll be there so don't you fear

    I said, hey little girl with the pressures of the world
    On your shoulders, don't say that it's over
    I heard your prayers, just cast your cares
    And I'll be there so don't you fear

    (repeat chorus)

    Irene I carried you when you was too weak to walk
    I took to you when you gave your heart to God
    Faithful and true, that's what I'll always be to you
    Believe in you, believe in Me and these mountains have to move
    You have dreams and aspirations
    I knew you before creation
    Your foundation's solid
    I will build you a palace, restore your soul
    You'll be up for any challenge
    Many storms are on the way, better sharpen your faith
    Count the cost, take up your cross
    And wear it every day
    Rest in Me and I will give you strength
    Blessed is she, Irene who seeks my face

    Hey little girl with the pressures of the world
    On your shoulders, don't say that it's over
    I heard your prayers, just cast your cares
    And I'll be there so don't you fear

    I said, hey little girl with the pressures of the world
    On your shoulders, don't say that it's over
    I heard your prayers, just cast your cares
    And I'll be there so don't you fear

    (repeat chorus)

    Everything's gonna be alright
    Everything's gonna be alright
    Everything's gonna be alright
    Be alright, be alright (yeah)

    Father I'm stronger, I said
    Oh Father I'm stronger, I said
    Oh Father I'm stronger than when I first believed
    Father I'm stronger, I said
    Oh Father I'm stronger, I said
    Oh Father I'm stronger than when I first believed

    I said, hey little girl with the pressures of the world
    On your shoulders, don't say that it's over
    I said, hey little girl with the pressures of the world
    On your shoulders, don't say that it's over
    I heard your prayers, just cast your cares
    And I'll be there so don't you fear

    (repeat chorus)

    The Lord's gonna answer your prayer tonight
    The Lord's gonna answer your prayer

    Sit back, relax put on your travelin' gear
    No need to doubt, so put aside your fear
    Destination: out of this atmosphere
    It's the J-Train baby, we depart from right here
    No lines to fight, no ticket to price
    I'm rollin' first class 'cause I've seen the light
    Try as you may but your money can't buy
    A ticket on the J-Line to the other side

    (repeat chorus)

    Now I missed the train more than once in my life
    Til' the good conductor heard my Momma's cry
    (That's right, that's right)
    Hades to Glory in the blink of an eye
    Hear me now, hear me now while I testify
    Heard the whistle blow I felt a chill to the bone
    All aboard is what I heard and I was headed for home
    Had a reclinable seat but I just had to stand
    Up on the "J" all the way to the promise land

    (repeat chorus)

    Say do you wanna ride say
    Whoo Whoo
    To the other side say

    Do You Know

    (chorus)
    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

    (repeat chorus x2)

    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, just to add a human touch
    I gave to you a son so you can understand the Father's love for you

    (repeat chorus x2)

    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

    (repeat chorus x4)

    True Dog

    You got Momentum, baby
    ???

    Are you on the mic again?
    Yes
    You know not to play in here
    Why?
    It's Daddy's studio
    Okay, Daddy
    I can't get off the chair

    [ Back To Top ]


    Momentum

    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

    (chorus)
    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, baby
    Been on a roll for two thousand years or so
    We've got momentum, baby
    Been on a roll for two thousand years or so
    We've got, we've got momentum
    Been on a roll for two thousand years or so
    We've got momentum, baby
    Been on a roll, we've got the mo
    We've got the momentum for show

    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
    You're 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

    (repeat chorus)

    We'll we've 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

    (repeat chorus x2)

    [ Back To Top ]


    Yours

    Well 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

    (chorus)
    Don't get me started, don't even get me started
    Don't get me started, don't even get me started
    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 won't You take this space between us and fill it up again
    I'm Yours
    Take me as I am
    I'm Yours
    So won't you take this space between us and fill it up

    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

    (repeat chorus)

    Dead man, dead man walking
    Dead man, dead man walking

    (bridge)
    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
    Shout it from the rooftops
    Give it all I got
    Shout it from the rooftops
    Dead man walking

    (repeat bridge x2)

    I'm Yours
    Take me as I am
    I'm Yours
    I'm a dead man walkin' down the boulevard
    I'm Yours
    Take me as I am
    I'm Yours
    So won't you take this space between us to fill it up
    (repeat x2)

    Take this space between us and fill it up again
    Take this space between us and fill it up
    (repeat x4)

    And people are people so just throw your hands up

    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

    Well, 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
    He 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

    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
    Then 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

    Well, somebody told me that you're takin' a break
    A sabbatical from rhymin' on the records that you make
    (Who said it)
    A little birdie said that wasn't the case
    He blamed your exodus on "DC" partners Kevin and Tait

    "Wait, didn't we clear that up"

    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

    (repeat chorus)

    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

    Somebody's Watching

    Watch baby, watch baby
    I got it like that
    Watch baby, watch baby
    So I got it like that (I got it like that)

    Suggestions, questions
    People want to know
    Is there life after talk
    Cause there's talk on the road
    Twistin' words that I've never even said
    To the ones that I trust
    Or my "Boo" in our bed
    Will he make it, man I bet he won't
    As they're runnin' through the minutes
    On their cell phones
    So the pictures 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 watching me
    Watch baby, watch baby, He got my back
    See I'm down with the King
    So I got it like that

    (repeat chorus)

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

    (repeat chorus x3)

    TobyMac
    Sometimes I feel Grace in the middle of the night
    TobyMac
    Sometimes I feel God in the middle of the night
    TobyMac
    Sometimes I feel God, sometimes I feel Grace
    Sometimes I feel God in the middle of the night
    In the middle of the day, in the middle of the night
    TobyMac

    (repeat chorus x3)

    I always feel like somebody's watching me
    Watch baby, watch baby, He got my back
    I always feel like TobyMac

    Hold up here, let me break out the pin here
    We got kind of a tall order going on
    I would like a tripple skinny
    Two-thirds decaf, half chocolate, no whip... ???
    Oh yeah, extra foam, to go

    Love Is In The House

    A little something like
    A little something like
    A little something like this
    A little something like
    A little something like
    A little something like
    A little something like this
    Like this, like this, like this, like this

    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
    But 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 positively cause love has let you down
    But if they tasted love you tasted
    They'd be makin' sweeter sounds too

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

    (chorus)
    Love is in the house, and the house is packed
    So much soul I left the back door cracked
    Mamma always said it's a matter of fact that
    When love is the house, the house is packed
    Love is in the house, and the house is packed
    So much soul I left the back door cracked
    Daddy always said that I wish I was black, and when
    Love is in the house, the house is packed

    Packed like a baby nine months in the womb
    Man it was packed like a 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

    Government checks, they flex in big dollars
    Two palm pilots and a room full of ballers
    Royalty checks we flex with few dollars
    But amazing grace makes the people wanna holler

    (repeat chorus)

    Woke up this morning, I 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 thinkin' I'd agree
    And I offered this humble view
    And I said

    Nah, nah, nah
    Love is in the house and the house is packed
    Sing nah, nah, nah
    Love is in the house and the house is packed

    (repeat chorus)

    Nah, nah, nah
    Love is in the house and the house is packed
    Nah, nah, nah
    Love is in the house and the house is packed
    Nah, nah, nah
    Nah, nah, nah
    Love is in the house and the house is packed
    Nah, nah, nah

    Luther Jackson, Luther Jackson
    Where's your ???
    Stop making fun of doing nothin'
    Ya'll silly
    Tell him Luther Jackson, Pine Ridge
    Give it up
    Mookie from Chesapeake and ???

    Extreme Days

    We're livin', we're livin'
    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 you 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

    (chorus)
    These are extreme, extreme days
    We're livin', we're livin', we're livin' in extreme days
    These are extreme, extreme days
    We're livin', we're livin', 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
    Come on, can ya take it, come on

    (repeat chorus)

    (Can't nobody stop it)
    (Can't nobody stop it)
    (Can't nobody stop it)
    (And that's the bottom, bottom)
    (Bottom line)

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

    Move out of 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
    Cuz X marks the spot

    (We're livin', we're livin', we're livin' in extreme days)
    These are extreme, extreme days
    These are extreme, extreme days
    We're livin', we're livin', we're livin' in extreme days
    These are extreme, extreme days
    We're livin', we're livin', we're livin' in extreme days
    Extreme days

    Don't Bring Me Down

    ???
    (Yeah)

    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)

    In The Air

    (chorus)
    Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
    There in the air
    Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
    There in the air

    I had a dream last night about the other side
    And I must confess that it was quite the ride
    I had a dream last night and the fact that you weren't there
    Gave me quite the scare (uh huh)
    Ya see, people were afloat all around me
    Yet their weightless state never seemed to astound me
    Everything was grand till I noticed one thing
    That you, my friend, weren't on the scene
    (Time for this)

    Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
    There in the air

    I've been workin' all morning trying to spin my dream
    Cause I just can't believe you weren't in my dream
    Remember you and I said we would paint the sky
    And the leaves on the trees and the stars at night
    We made beats and we even wrote rhymes
    And played golf, I think, a million times
    Now we never got around to spiritual matters
    But we sure made time for our mindless chatter
    (Go DJ... ???)

    (repeat chorus)

    (Say what?)
    I wanna see you there
    In the the air
    One day we'll be singin' (Hallelujah)
    I wanna see you there
    In the the air
    One day we'll be singin' (Hallelujah)

    (Hello) wassup (wassup) how ya doin' (just fine)
    I was sorta wonderin', could we make the time
    (Just to kick it) why not at our usual spot
    Latte's in May, mine cold, yours hot
    (So where we goin') much deeper than our usual chat
    (Like who's beats is weak and who's beats is phat)
    Nah, my man, this some next level junk
    (Like when we discussed if Tiger Woods could dunk)
    Just meet me there, seven o'clock, rain or shine ???
    With a fat cup of bean and a wide open mind
    (Man that's heavy)

    (repeat chorus)

    I wanna see you there
    In the the air
    One day we'll be singin'
    There in the air
    (Hallelujah)
    I wanna see you there
    In the the air
    One day we'll be singin'
    There in the air
    (Hallelujah)
