I've been around the way
I've been around the block
I got the keys to the city if the gates are locked
And a freak like me ain't ‘bout to stop
I got a hand full of dreams and a heart full of God
Everywhere we go they wonder where we're from
Well its diverse city ya'll welcome to come
It sits high in the hills you can see it for days
And even if you can't you can hear our praise
We go ...
'Cause we're boomin' out the stereo system
This goes out to anyone listening
Boomin' out the stereo system
Here to rep the most high with this one
Boomin' out the stereo system
This goes out to anyone listening
Boomin' out the stereo system
'Cause we rock for sure in stereo
If you're looking to slide, come slide with us
And if you're looking for a ride, it's a big old bus
We got black folk, white folk and Middle East
Mexican, Filipino - Jesus Freaks
Got a Haitian Princess, an Aussie Mate
East Coast, Midwest to left side of the states
And when the bus rolls, it’s out the dirty south
Tennessee and we keepin' it good and loud we go
'Cause we're boomin' out the stereo system
This goes out to anyone listening
Boomin' out the stereo system
Here to rep the most high with this one
Boomin' out the stereo system
This goes out to anyone listening
Boomin' out the stereo system
'Cause we rock for sure in stereo
I got portable sounds to lift me up
Portable sounds to take me higher
Portable sounds to lift me up
So don't even try to get in my head
'Cause we're boomin' out the stereo system
This goes out to anyone listening
Boomin' out the stereo system
Here to represent the most high with this one
Boomin' out the stereo system
This goes out to anyone listening
Boomin' out the stereo system
'Cause we rock for sure in stereo
Boomin' out your stereo

Review about Boomin' Walking the walk... is tobymac for real? | Reviewer: Stacey | 11/16/09
For the individual who posted that toby mac's music is a "recruiting" mechanism..how about doing a little research before throwing out the false accusations..
now i will admit, it's easy for anyone to sing a song about God. and it's easy to pass judgment if that's all we see. However, how a person lives their life is what really says where their heart lies. Toby went to Liberty University, which is one of the largest, if not the largest, Christian school in the US. He was a student there, pursuing God... long before he was pursuing a career, or even music. Second, some Christian artists do make a significant amount of money from their careers, but what they do with their money is slightly different that what (some) sacral artists do... Building 429, Toby Mac, Jeremy Camp and Newsong are great examples of well known Christian artists that do not donate, but POUR money into changing the lives of orphans, feeding the hungry, and spreading the gospel all of the world. Not "recruiting" teenagers, but telling five year old children in Africa that there is hope, and that hope is Jesus. He is mighty to save.
I will close in saying I sincerely hope you do not feel the way you do because of the lives of hypocritical Christians, because I myself have seen the detrimental affects of that. But, just like the false prophets in the Bible..it's still happening today.
The bottom line is religion is a personal relationship with God. You cannot judge God by what you see, or think you see, people doing. Mere humans are not God, we fall short of his glory, and we let Him & His people down. We're just human and that is why we serve Him.
Toby IS a Christian | Reviewer: Nichele | 10/30/09
Jacob:
Dude, I don't know where you're getting this from, but Toby has a huge heart for God. Have you ever heard him give interviews or even talk about his faith? He's not about the money; it's about using his talent for God.
And as for not having enough talent to make it in the "real world," you are clearly not old enough (if your spelling and grammar are anything to go by) to have heard of dcTalk - a band founded by Toby. If you had heard of the band, you'd realize how ignorant a statement that is. dcTalk was hugely popular both with Christians AND non-Christians in the 90s. The band even racked up 4 Grammy wins and had 5 albums in the Billboard Top 200. In his solo career, Toby has also won a Grammy (and been nominated for 3 or 4 others) and has charted another 5 times in the Billboard Top 200, with one of his albums reaching number 3 on the Billboard rock charts.
So what's my point? Obviously, I'm not gonna argue with you about God here because this is not the place to do it. But you do need to stop being so ignorant and realize that a) a number of Christian singers could (and have) crossover and still have success if they wanted to, and 2) yes, Christian singers are human and they will make mistakes - sometimes public ones - but that doesn't mean they aren't Christians and that they're just in it for the money. Again, I don't know how old you are, but if you're this cynical at a young age, it's sad really.
As an agnostic/ atheist I truly oppose this song and all others like it as an attemt to recruit yong children into religion, regardless of what type. There is a strong chance Toby-Mac is not a christian because you would be suprised at how much these artist make. Toby-Mac would not be talented enough to make it in the real world, so he probably chose to pretend to be christian to make money. And as a final point, today organized religion is a serious drain on the advancement of modern society and must be stopped on it strays ou of the chapel and begins to effect the real world, as is what happened when G.W. Bush was ellected. Please, as a favor to the greater good, please stop attemting to recruit kids like me and the ones I met a week ago at a christian camp, to use such places as a recruitment center is un-ethicle.
Toby is a good role model for younger generation christians. His awesome and it makes me feel good about God being there and leading him. I love God cause he is the bomb yo. HE IS THE KING OF KINGS.
I'm really getting tired of hearing that Toby Mac is non-Christian like. Just because his music is rap/rock doesn't mean that he is a joke or a phony. If he was a phony why be a Christian rap/rock artist? Why not make a lot more money and fame with secular music? Listen to the words not the music. Think of being a Jesus Freak as a compliment, someone sees that you are a Christian, love Jesus, and you are passionate about it so they call you a Jesus Freak. Anyways most people think of Christians as stuck-up, hymnal books, preaching "REPENT OR GOD WILL SEND YOU TO HELL!", and no freedom. Why not show them what it really means to be a Christian?
I have seen him in concert twice, and all he talks about is his love for God and how young ppl should not be discouraged!! He is able to touch the younger and older generation with his music... Good example was winter jam last night. I had a woman in her 40s rocking out and an 11 yr old girl! If it makes any difference to the haters the 11yr old girl got saved. I know God saved her not Toby, but he was able to give her confidence to stand up for God and to let her know it was OK!!!:)
I love this song! I have it for my alarm every morning.It's one of those christian songs that you can't help but listen to over and over again. ToobyMac and Bralowgirl are good for christians! we need something good to listen to! That's why so many people don't want to be chrisian. they think we have to listen to boring music and stupid things like that.
Who says Christians can't have fun too?
REALLY LISTEN | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/28/08
i think that toby mac sets a good example for the younger generation of the church and is a great role modle for kids of all ages. listen to some of the song that non-christains listen to and REALLY listen to them...listen to the words of the songs and the messages that they send to kids. then go and LISTEN to toby's songs and the good message that they have. they aren't about bad things but instead are about possitive things. if you don't like toby mac then ask yourself this question...would you rather have YOUR kids listen to a song of the world that influence them to do bad thing that are of the WORLD... or would you rather have them listen to toby mac who is reaching out to people especially teens and trying to give them a possitive influence?? just remember that!!! God is using him in amazing ways..instead of complaining about him why son't you pray that god will use him for His porpouse???
Toby's songs make it OK to be a Christian for teens that like to listen to this type of music. Driving along with my non christian friends in the car it was great to see them starting to bop along with the music they were told was christian - something they wouldnt ordinarily do...
in response to the bad reviews of this song - there is nothing 'watered down' about toby's messages. If you think that its easy to blast Christian lyrics at todays teenage audience you obviously dont know what its like to be a Christian in the younger societies. Kids can play Toby's music to friends and they can have no idea that they are listening to Christian tracks until they are specifically told.
Its hard to live for God in the modern culture - peer pressure and all the rest. If kids find it easier to get the message to their friends with a song like Boomin' I suggest that some more of us get pen to paper to help them out! (I think that all made sense :D)
Toby - YOU ROCK!
another in response to "Toby Mac is a joke" | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/8/08
well, how about we take the answer straight from the Bible, eh? seems like a good idea since thats what you told Toby to do... Matthew 5:13-15, "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its salty taste, it cannot be made salty again. It is good for nothing, exept to be thrown out and walked on. You are the light that gives light to the world. A city that is built on a hill cannot be hidden. And people do not hide a light under a bowl. They put it on a lampstand so the light shines for all the people in the house. In the same way, you should be a light for other people. Live so that they will see the good things you do and will praise your Father in Heaven."
now, if you look up freak in the Webster's Dictionary, you'll find a place where it defines freak in slang terms::
Slang.
a. a person who has withdrawn from normal, rational behavior and activites to pursue one interrest or obsession
b. a devoted fan or follower; enthusiast
sounds like what the verse says to me =]
