Lyrics Lecrae – Background

Background Lyrics – Lecrae

Singer: Lecrae
Title: Background

I could play the background
I could play the background
‘Cause I know sometimes I get in the way
So won’t You take the lead, lead, lead?

So won’t You take the lead, lead, lead?
And I could play the background, background
And You could take the lead
It’s evident You run the show, so let me back down

You take the leading role, and I’ll play the background
I know I miss my cues, know I forget my lines
I’m sticking to your script, and I’m reading all your signs
I don’t need my name in lights, I don’t need a starring role

And why gain the whole wide world, If I’m just going lose my soul
And my ways ain’t pure if I don’t live according to Your Word
I can’t endure this life without Your wisdom being heard
So word, to every dancer for a pop star

‘Cause we all play the background, but mine’s a rockstar
Yeah, so if You need me I’ll be stage right
Praying the whole world will start embracing stage fright
So let me fall back, and stop giving my suggestions

‘Cause when I follow my obsessions, I end up confessing
That I’m not that impressive, matter of fact
I’m who I are, a trail of stardust leading to the superstar
I could play the background

I could play the background
‘Cause I know sometimes I get in the way
So won’t You take the lead, lead, lead?
So won’t You take the lead, lead, lead?

And I could play the background, background
And you could take the lead
I had a dream that I was captain of my soul
I was master of my fate, lost control, and then I sank

So I don’t want to take the lead, ’cause I’m prone to make mistakes
All these folks who follow me, gon’ end up in the wrong place
So just let me shadow You, and just let me trace Your lines
Matter of fact, just take my pen, here, You create my rhymes

‘Cause if I do this by myself, I’m scared that I’ll succeed
And no longer trust in You, ’cause I only trust in me
And see, that’s how you end up headed to destruction
Paving a road to nowhere, pour your life out for nothing

You pulled my card, I’m bluffing, You know what’s in my hand
Me, I just roll and trust You, You ’cause the dice to land
I’m in control of nothing, follow You at any cost
Some call it sovereign will, all I know is You the boss

And man, I’m so at ease, I’m so content
I’ll play the background, like it’s an instrument
I could play the background
I could play the background

‘Cause I know sometimes I get in the way
So won’t You take the lead, lead, lead?
So won’t You take the lead, lead, lead?
And I could play the background, background

And You could take the lead
I know I’m safest when I’m in Your will, and trust Your Word
And I know I’m dangerous when I trust myself, my vision blurred
And I ain’t got no time to play life’s foolish games

Got plenty aims, but do they really glorify Your name
And it’s a shame, the way I want to do these things for You, yeah
Don’t even cling to you, take time to sit and glean from You
It seems that You were patient in my ignorance

If ignorance is bliss, it’s ’cause she never heard of this
I could play the background
I could play the background
‘Cause I know sometimes I get in the way

So won’t You take the lead, lead, lead?
So won’t You take the lead, lead, lead?
And I could play the background, background
And You could take the lead

I could play the background
I could play the background
‘Cause I know sometimes I get in the way
So won’t You take the lead, lead, lead?

So won’t You take the lead, lead, lead?
And I could play the background, background
And You could take the lead.
