TobyMac's 'Yours' is a high-energy Christian hip-hop track where the artist openly admits his past failures and need for God's intervention. He describes feeling out of control and hopeless without God, crying out to Him for rescue. The song emphasizes surrender, as TobyMac declares he is God's, asking to be taken as he is and for God to fill the gap between them. He reflects on his former pride and ego, acknowledging that God's love and mercy transformed him, making him a 'dead man walking' in the sense of being dead to his old self. The chorus and rooftop shouts convey a bold, public declaration of faith and gratitude.

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
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 take this space between us and fill it up again
I'm Yours
Take me as I am
I'm Yours
So take this space between us and fill it up again
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
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
I'm gonna shout it from the rooftops
Give it all I got
Shout it from the rooftops
Like it or not
I'm a dead man walkin'
I'm a dead man walkin' down the boulevard
