Made For Me

I love this song, "Made For Me" by tobyMac about his wife. It's so sweet I cry. It's from his new album, Eye on It.

Click here to listen.

Yea, here we go
1, 2, 3

She was 17 when she came on the scene
I saw her down the hall and felt that I was in a dream
See she was from the islands
Which had this brother smiling
Little did I know that I’d be on this mic and testifying

I love sunsets but she likes sunrise
I’m always running late and she’s always on time
But I like U2 and she like Coldplay
But something tells me we’re gonna be OK

‘Cause she was made for me
You gave ‘er to me
I said I’d hold on loose but I so wanna squeeze you
Just right for me and for the life of me
I can’t believe I get to call her mine

And she was made for me
Made for me
And she was made for me
Made for me

Next chapter - we got hitched
And thought we’d have some kids
Looked up and now we got five little Jamaricans

I thank God every day
I’m blessed in a crazy way
My daughter said 2 to 8
This thing we got is cool like shade

I love sunsets but she likes sunrise
I’m always running late and she’s always on time
Well I like hip-hop and she likes raggae
So we meet in the middle with some Shattie

‘Cause she was made for me
You gave ‘er to me
I said I’d hold on loose but I so wanna squeeze you
Just right for me and for the life of me
I can’t believe I get to call her mine

And she was made for me
Made for me
And she was made for me
Made for me

She is a flower, You are the rain
She gets more beautiful with every passing day
She is my flower and You are the sun
She gets more beautiful because of how You love
How You love

I get to call her mine
I get to call her mine, oh my

See she like slow days and I like fast days
She into books, I’m into movies
She made straight As
Well I got white skin and she got brown skin
But milk and coffee’s always been a beautiful blend

She was made for me
When You gave ‘er to me
I said I’d hold on loose but I so wanna squeeze you
Just right for me and for the life of me
I can’t believe I get to call her mine

She was made for me
When You gave ‘er to me
I said I’d hold on loose but I so wanna squeeze you
Just right for me and for the life of me
I can’t believe I get to call her mine

And she was made for me
She was made, she was made
Made for me
And she was made for me
She was made, she was made
Made for me

She was made, she was made for me (I get to call her mine)
She was made, she was made for me (I get to call her mine, oh my)

"Love Somebody"

This is a fun song about loving others. "Love Somebody" by Mandisa feat. TobyMac. (Those two are an awesome combination.)

"Love Somebody"


I need a minute, can we get some time?
We both know we don't see eye to eye
I know it's hard on us when we disagree
But don't you think that you and me could take a chance?

And love somebody, somebody needs you
You could be the one to
Love somebody, take a chance and pass it on
You could be the one to love

Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love

I had a dream just the other day
With blinded eyes we let real love guide the way
Nobody felt we had to look the same or talk the game
We found true beauty and we weren't afraid to go ahead

And love somebody, somebody needs you
You could be the one to
Love somebody, take a chance and pass it on
You could be the one to
Love somebody, somebody needs you
You could be the one to love

Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love

If Mandisa ain't changed your mind
It oughta be flipped by the end of this rhyme
But she gave me eight to flow and translate
Recalibrate, end all debates

'Cause this bomb is about to drop, y'all
Diverse City just can't be stopped
So here we go, come, check the show
Come one, come all, come overflow with love

Yeah, love somebody, somebody needs you
You could be the one to
Love somebody, take a chance and pass it on
You could be the one to

Love somebody, somebody needs you
You could be the one to love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love

Go ahead and love somebody, somebody needs you
You could be the one to
Love somebody, take a chance and pass it on
You could be the one to love

Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love

Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love

Come on, if Mandisa ain't changed your mind
It oughta be flipped by the end of this rhyme
If Mandisa ain't changed your mind
It oughta be flipped by the end of this rhyme

If Mandisa ain't changed your mind
It oughta be flipped by the end of this rhyme
If Mandisa ain't changed your mind
It oughta be flipped by the end of this rhyme

"Atmosphere"

"Atmoshpere" by TobyMac feat. DC Talk.

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

"Hey Devil"

If you ever feel like telling Satan where to go, then this is an awesome song. "Hey Devil" by TobyMac

Click here to listen to official lyric video.

"Hey Devil" by TobyMac

She dialed him about 6:00 PM
She checked her hair in the mirror
And she stepped through the door like this
Three flights down
And she's out on the streets
Walking brick sidewalks lined in grey concrete

He saw her coming from a few blocks away
Red scarf in the wind as it started to rain a bit
Shuffled down the boulevard
Cut me like a deck of cards
I thought you had me
You thought that you had me

But hey, Devil, go on
Get your junk out of here
I don't need you
I don't need you
Hey, Devil, go on
Get your junk out of here
I don't need you
So move on

I stepped to it like I knew what I was doing
I'm a moth
You're the flame
Never knew you'd be my ruin
In the blink of an eye
Element of surprise
Got my feet on the earth
But my face to the sky

Shuffled down the boulevard
Cut me like a deck of cards
I thought you had me
You thought you had me
Now the plot is thickening
Pushing deep under my skin
I thought you had me
You that that you had me

You're a beauty and A beast
You're the pressure never cease
You're the straight other side
And they say you never sleep

"Changed Forever"

I love this song because of the awesome lyrics and the boomin' bass. I absolutely LOVE it. Enjoy. :)

"Changed Forever" by TobyMac with Nirva Ready

I'd heard Your name, but never seen Your face
Been touched before but never Your embrace
Had a soul to lose and the world to gain
But then You whispered my name

And I heard the truth but never from Your lips
Bought the lies of many counterfeits
Dreamed my dreams, but they were never in color
And I searched for You in many others

I was down for the count

(Chorus)
Then I saw Your face
Just a glimpse of Your face, and my whole world changed
Then I saw Your face, and I was changed forever
Changed forever now
Then I saw Your face
One glimpse of Your face, it's a whole new game
Then I saw Your face, and I was changed forever
Yours forever now

If I could reach the stars, I could touch the sky
And if I spread my wings, I could almost fly
I had everything paper could buy
I was lost in my disguise

And if I played my role, they would feel my style
If I bought the night they would buy my smile
I've been runnin' this game for a million miles
Believin' my own lies

I was down, I was out

I was blinded by my selfish dreams
Everything ain't what it seems
From inside to out, there ain't no doubt
I been changed
Nothing short of satisfaction
Your love caused a change reaction
I can tell you this much I felt your touch
And I'm changed

When I was down for the count, Your love surrounded me
Blink of an eye
I saw my destiny

Change, rearranged 'cause I couldn't maintain
The heart it took to even stay in the game
One look in Your eyes even I realized
A fellow like me had been put down to size
To be built up in a better way, Your way
Yahweh ain't about to fade
Bombastic, ain't no way to mask it
I saw Your face, and my old ways blasted

I'm Yours forever now
