Chorus. [C-Lite]. I can play the background.. I can play the background.. Cuz 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 can play the background background.. And you can take the lead.. Verse 1 [Lecrae]. 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 gon' loose my soul.. And my ways ain't purified I'll 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. Cuz we all play the background but mine's a rock star.. Yeah. So if you need me I'll be stage right.. Prayin' the whole world will start embracing stage fright.. So let me fall back and stop giving my suggestions. Cuz when I follow my obsessions I end up confessing.. That I'm not that impressive matter fact I'm............. A trail of star dust leading to the superstar.. Chorus.. Verse 2 [Lecrae]. 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. Cuz I'm prone to make mistakes.. All these folks that follow me gon' end up in the wrong place.. So just let me shadow you. And just let me trace your lines.. Matter fact just take my pen.. Here you create my rhymes.. Cuz if I do this by myself I'm scared that I'll succeed.. And no longer trust in You cuz 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 to trust you to 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 play the background like it's an instrument.. Chorus.. Bridge. [Lecrae]. 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 its 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.. And its seems that you are patient in my ignorance.. If ignorance is bliss its cuz she never heard of this.. Chorus. 2x
