Background Lyrics - Rehab - Lecrae

Hook: 

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 

Verse 1: 

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 (Aye) 

I don't need my name in lights, (Aye) I don't need a starring role 

Why gain the whole wide world, If I'm just gonna lose my soul? 

And my ways ain't purified, 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 would start embracing stage fright 

So let me fall back, stop giving my suggestions 

'Cause when I follow my obsessions, I end up confessin' 

That I'm not that impressive, matter of fact 

I'm who I are, a trail of stardust leading to the superstar

Hook: 

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 

Verse 2: 

Yo, 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, goin' end up in the wrong place 

So just let me shadow you, 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 nothin' 

You pulled my card, I'm bluffin', 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

Hook: 

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 

Bridge: 

I know I'm safest when I'm in Your will, and trust Your Word 

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, yet 

Don't even cling to you, take time to sit and glean from You 

It seems like You were patient in my ignorance 

If ignorance is bliss, it's 'cause she never heard of this 

Hook: 

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 

Hook: 

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
