tobyMac, “Steal My Show”

Contemporary Christian superstar rapper tobyMac has released Steal My Show as the second single off his number one album, Eye on It. As far as radio-friendliness goes, Steal My Show is right up there with some of McKeehan’s best midtempo work; this may be at par with City On Our Knees or Lose My Soul, sans the Mandisa feature. Lyrically, Steal My Show appears on the onset to be a song of humility, as tobyMac sings about inviting God to take center stage and be glorified in tobyMac’s concerts. This makes Steal My Show a refreshing change by bringing a more personal approach to tobyMac’s latest studio release, something that sets it apart from other songs currently playing on radio. Steal My Show shouldn’t have any trouble at all repeating the chart-topping status on its predecessor, Me Without You.

STEAL MY SHOW Lyrics
tobyMac

Another cold night
Another late flight
It’s almost show time, and Diverse City’s waitin’ on me
We got a packed house, the crowd is callin’ out
They want the beat to drop, but what we really need is You

If You wanna steal my show, I’ll sit back and watch You go
If You got somethin’ to say, go on and take it away
Need You to steal my show, can’t wait to watch You go
So take it away

So now the crowd is hype, that you showed up tonight
Anticipatin’, cravin’ somethin’ more than smoke and lights
So I’ll step out the way, I’ll give You center stage
Alight
Spotlight
Give ’em what they came for …

If You wanna steal my show, I’ll sit back and watch You go
If You got somethin’ to say, go on and take it away
Need You to steal my show, can’t wait to watch You go
So take it away

When You arrive, we come to life
Our hearts collide, they’re beating in the same time
You’re comin’ through, all eyes on You
Our hearts collide, they’re beating in the same time, beating in the same time

No matter who we are, no matter what we do
Every day we can choose to say …

If You wanna steal my show, I’ll sit back and watch You go
If You got somethin’ to say, go on and take it away
Need You to steal my show, can’t wait to watch You go
So take it away

My life
My friends
My heart
It’s all Yours, God
Take it away
My dreams
My fears
My family
My career
Take it away
Take it away
It’s all Yours, God
Take it away
Take it away
It’s You I wanna live for
