Said TobyMac regarding the album title: "I want my music to depict what I'm going through. I want to write about the things that upset me, move me, hurt me and haunt me. The things that are real. With Tonight, I was determined to live more passionately with God. I was laying down the gauntlet. Eye On It is a continuation of that. It's saying, 'This is the person I want to be and I'm going to keep my eye on it, God willing!'"
The ascension of TobyMac’s solo career has been nothing short of spectacular. In an era of declining music sales he has consistently defied the odds and has seen his sales increase with each new album release. This is no small feat. With his fourth studio album TONIGHT released on Feb. 9, he is poised to take things higher yet again.
Having climbed the mountain once with the group dcTalk (4 Grammys, more than 8 million albums sold), TobyMac knows how difficult the journey can be and how much work the process actually takes. Rarely does an artist get to soar to great heights for a second time, but soar he has. He took home his first Grammy as a solo artist last year after receiving Grammy nominations for each of his first four solo projects (Momentum, Welcome To Diverse City, Portable Sounds, Tonight). And last year TobyMac topped 2 million in total albums sold during his solo career. TobyMac has also remixed the Welcome to Diverse City album and Momentum, calling the new albums Renovating Diverse City and Re:Mix Momentum, respectively. He has done it with a combination of talent, hard work and humility which has produced songs that resonate with people from all walks of life .
Upon embarking on his solo career, Toby sought to surround himself with a talented and diverse cast of characters, aptly named the Diverse City Band. The result has been a musical fusion that radiates with an unquenchable energy and a penetrating message.
A self-professed perfectionist when making records—he’s been known to relentlessly tweak and massage every little thing in an inexorable effort to make it sound better—Toby is the first to admit that he has to work really hard to make great music. “That’s what drives me,” he says. “I feel like I have to work harder than other people to get there. Sometimes I feel like I’m slightly under-gifted; I usually don't sit down and write a great song in just a few minutes like others can. But I think my work ethic makes up for that.”
Starting with dcTalk, and then going solo when the group disbanded in 2000, Toby still clings to such rootsy notions as hard work, persistence, patience and—perhaps most relevant of all—the power of music, which he insists is still what keeps him going.
“It’s the truth,” he says. “I still believe that a song can penetrate a heart. I believe God can use a song to open someone’s mind and heart. Other songs can just drop what I call, 'the joy bomb' on somebody. I fight really hard to remain unjaundiced—to keep believing that you can actually walk into a studio and write a song that breathes life. That’s the hardest fight for a guy who’s been doing this for a while; it’s easy to fall into the trap of just making it your job. But I still believe that songs matter.”
The songs on TONIGHT certainly matter—everything from the prayerful first single “City On Our Knees” to the testimonial “Changed Forever,” from the worshipful “Captured” to the confessional “Start Somewhere,” and even down to the put-on-your-party-hat grooves of “Funky Jesus Music” and “ShowStopper.” One theme that runs loud and clear throughout is the idea that we all need God, and we need him now—this morning, this afternoon, tonight.
“Right here, right now / Under the stars / I promise You my heart / ’Cause it starts tonight,” Toby sings on the chorus of the title track. “If you gotta start somewhere why not here? If you gotta start sometime why not now?” he asks on “City on Our Knees.” And “I wanna straighten this before the sun goes down tonight,” he proclaims on “Start Somewhere.”
“There’s definitely a sense of urgency on this record,” says co-producer Chris Stephens, who has worked on TobyMac’s last three CDs. “And it’s an album that speaks of unity, of coming together and finding common ground to worship God.”
Toby has long had a passion for racial reconciliation and unity, a recurrent theme in his music. TONIGHT includes songs of reconciliation of another kind—between husband and wife. Toby and Amanda have been happily married for 15 years, but like all couples, it can be hard work sometimes. For Toby, who best expresses his emotions through music, it was a natural step to write about it. In “Hold On,” he sings, “If you move just a little bit closer / You can put your head on my shoulder . . . / Wipe away those tears / This one’s for you.” And on “Start Somewhere,” he’s downright confessional: “I said some things that I regret / And if I could, I’d take ’em back / But here I am, and there you are / The space between us is not so far / I’m reaching out my hand in love.”
“‘Hold On’ is very personal,” Toby says. “Many lines are there to encourage my wife, but I know those lines could encourage anybody in a relationship. As for ‘Start Somewhere,’ any time you’re in love with somebody, you’re going to bang heads from time to time. I don’t know how many times I’ve been lying in bed, sweating it out and thinking, How am I going to make this right? But then you reach that moment of apology and forgiveness. That’s one of my favorite songs on the record; it’s a personal perspective on confrontation and reconciliation.”
And then there’s “Wonderin’,” in which Toby reminisces about the past with Kevin Max and Michael Tait in dcTalk, one of Christian music’s biggest acts in the 1990s. “We was ridin’ in style, clockin’ them miles / With the songs that He put down deep in our hearts . . . / I’m wonderin’ ’bout the way I spend my days / Wonderin’ if it’s even worth the chase / Wonderin’ if they’re stealin’ me from you.”
“It’s just a warm look back at dc Talk,” says Toby, almost wistfully. “It’s reminiscing about Michael and Kevin and what we did together, and recognizing their influence on me. I love what I do today, but there are times when I wonder,What if we stayed together? I’ve got these dreams I’m pursuing now, but are they stealing me from you? I think about Kevin and Michael on every song I write. That's the truth man, we climbed a mountain together.”
Sonically, TONIGHT is typical TobyMac in many ways—an eclectic mix of rap, rock, pop and funk, all laden with catchy hooks and melodies just itching for airplay and audience singalongs. There’s even a healthy dose of reggae on the album closer “Break Open the Sky,” where Toby flexes his Jamaican family ties while Israel Houghton provides guest vocals. Other visiting vocalists include Skillet’s John Cooper on “Tonight” and Relient K’s Matthew Thiessen on “Wonderin’.”
Of course most of the vocals belong to the artist himself. Stephens says Toby “has stretched himself as a vocalist, he writes about things he is passionate about and his vocals reflect that urgency''. Toby agrees: “I do more singing on this record than ever before. I’m learning to use my vocal instrument in different ways, and I’m getting more comfortable with it everyday''.
It all adds up to a project that reflects one man’s desire to push himself beyond “very good,” to dig deep in the quest for that other country where greatness resides. He certainly reached for it. Hard.
“I’ve worked very hard not to fall into the trap of making this just a gig,” he says. “If it is a labor, it’s a labor of love. I know music can’t change the world, but who says God can't speak through a song."
Right here, right now. TONIGHT.

TobyMac is usually styled tobyMac or TOBYMAC

Eye On It
TobyMac Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Eye on it, eye on it
Eye on it, eye on it

Eye on it
Eye on it
Eye on it, eye on it

I set my eyes to the west, walking away from it all

Reaching for what lies ahead, I got my eye on it
I see my sweat hit the ground
I put my foot in the block
This is the race of my life
And I can't wait for this shot

'Cause I can feel the wind at my back
Chest is pumping like a heart attack
Feet are moving and my mind is locked
Pressing on with everything I got

I got my eye on it
I got my eye on it
I got my eye on it
Eye on it

I've got my eye on the prize, I've got my eye on it
I've got my eye on the prize, I've got my eye on it
I've got my eye on the prize, I've got my eye on it
I've got my eye on the prize and I will not quit

I've got a new passenger to help me navigate the way
So when my heart hits the floor I can re-calibrate
I feel the deeper call in me, all else is fading in the past
So let me run in the race that I know is built last

'Cause I can feel the wind at my back
Chest is pumping like a heart attack
Feet are moving and my mind is locked
Pressing on, I gotta take my shot

I got my eye on it
I got my eye on it
I got my eye on it
Eye on it

I've got my eye on the prize, I've got my eye on it
I've got my eye on the prize, I've got my eye on it
I've got my eye on the prize, I've got my eye on it
I've got my eye on the prize and I will not quit

I will not quit

I've got my eye on the prize, I've got my eye on it
I've got my eye on the prize, I've got my eye on it
I've got my eye on the prize, I've got my eye on it
I've got my eye on the prize and I will not quit

He's had a huge impact for Christ. He's one of the boldest if not the boldest Christian artists ever. he's not ashamed of the gospel but just the opposite. This song debuted #1 on the Billboard Top 200. You know how many people will look into his music after this? Many who wouldn't normally check out a Christian artist and his message. Trust God that he's in control and can handle Toby's songwriting decisions.

I agree. My pastor always likes to quote, "The message is unchangeable, but the method is not." The message of the gospel will always be the same. People like Toby Mac use this kind of music as a platform to reach out to those people who would normally just tune the message of Christianity out. Thanks for the insightful comment. It really got me thinking. :P God bless.

TobyMac explains: “Though the world can twist almost anything for bad, my intentions were pure regarding the focused eye in my artwork. I am an athlete and my Dad always told me to keep my ‘eye on it’ in the context of focusing on the ball. So that’s where the album title originated. Then, translating that analogy to life, fixing my eye on what matters to me—Jesus and my walk with Him. I also love this verse – Your eye is a lamp that provides light for your body, when your eye is good, your whole body is filled with light. (Matthew 6:22)”

I've seen people say that TobyMac isn't a real Christian, just because of this song... Have you guys listened to the other songs he created? Toby is a WONDERFUL and WHOLE HEARTED Christian. He lives only for the Lord, serves the Lord ONLY. So... Please, just please, don't go about judging Toby on this ONE song!

@whatsahorse4769

thank you!

@shaneroberson8779

Soldier Girl I love this song and I think it's just so so amazing and I think you people who say it good I think you're wrong because TobyMac is a really good singer he looks really good and he has squared glasses and really cool hair so I don't understand why you wouldn't like it because he has done everything for you people to make really good song

@shaneroberson8779

and plus what did he ever do to you to not like him TobyMac because he is actually really good

How do you reach out to nonbelievers?? By having good music and planting the seed of love and hope! To show them its okay to enjoy different genres of music! You people need to stop dissing Toby, God is the judge of individuals, not yourselves. ''Ye that is without sin, cast the first stone'' huh, what's that? None of you can because you just judged and that's a sin! Too bad! Have a nice day :)

"None of you can because you just judged and that's a sin!" So you are judging others for being judgmental. How ironic. If you truly believed one should not judge then you would not have posted your comment in the first place knowing that to assume judgmental people are out there trolling TobyMac music videos would be judgmental. Talk about having a plank in your eye!

The next time I see anything about NWO or illuminati on this song im going to flip out. This has nothing to do with any of that consparisy crap. The eye on the CD cover and in this song represents his famous song.The song is keeping an eye on what us christians are aiming for, Eye on Heaven. Its just a symbol for the title, not anything related to illuminati. So stop worrying about it and enjoy this song. God Bless.

What the heck?! All of you say he is not Christian just because he doesn't say the Lord's name in the song? When he said he got a new passenger to help navigate the way, that meant Christ. When he said he's got the eye on the prize and eye on it, it's saying he's looking at God and the second coming as the prize!! Why not you actually LISTEN to the lyrics? You can't just ASSUME he isn't a Christian just because he didn't mention God's name in the song! Stupid gossipers and assumers, this is exactly why Flappy Bird went off the App Store, because of stupid unreasonable hative comments..... May The Lord help us all.....

Truthdisciple the two passages of scripture that you quoted are saying that we should not be overtaken by the world. However, we should reach out to those in the world: "I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance." Also, with songs like "made to love" and "hey devil", I can"t imagine how you would think that Toby is not only not a Christian, but Satan's servant. A house divided against itself shall not stand. Also I live in CA but I went to his Las Vegas concert...

The album is called "Eye On It" and has an eye on it because, you guessed it, the main song is called Eye on It. TobyMac is my favourite christian artist and all of his songs have a meaning, no matter how obscure; TobyMac stands for Christianity and nothing else in his music.
