116 - Authority lyrics

[Hook – Lecrae] If you can't follow you can't never lead And you don't run a thing till you runnin' to the King And who I follow's who they follow when they follow me A real man bows down to authority [Verse 1 – Tedashii] On the real, I'm a man, but I guess it's just my gender When it comes to manhood, man we leave it to our sisters What a tragedy, travesty, pa**ive in our actions Living absentee, stand and wait while asking them to marry me We went left into d**h saying next what a mess Beating on my chest and thinking I am strong, Bowflex If you gon' take charge for the Lord then you lead out Being one who serves like the one who chose to bleed out Submitting to authority, government that's over me And to the Father who is sovereign, real men stay orderly I learned to submit because God gives the command While she follows me cause I follow him with holes in his hands [Hook – Lecrae] If you can't follow you can't never lead And you don't run a thing till you runnin' to the King And who I follow's who they follow when they follow me A real man bows down to authority Bow down, bow down to authority Bow down, bow down to authority And who I follow's who they follow when they follow me Bow down, bow down to authority [Verse 2 – PRo] Hey I don't care what they tell you or cats try to sell you You was made in the image of God, his craftsmanship is in your cells dude You are not a animal or just a foolish beast You were made to oversee this Creation of the King now Flashing your badge like a cop that's got some power But you should be a tool to encourage and empower And stop runnin' 'round with women like a little dog in heat If she disrespect herself, show her who she's supposed to be She a queen, and the Scriptures say she is the weaker vessel It's more like fine china, doesn't mean she's any lesser The equal wouldn't smash fine art to the ground So why use your body or your words to tear her down, heyyy [Hook – Lecrae] If you can't follow you can't never lead And you don't run a thing till you runnin' to the King And who I follow's who they follow when they follow me A real man bows down to authority Bow down, bow down to authority Bow down, bow down to authority And who I follow's who they follow when they follow me Bow down, bow down to authority [Verse 3 – KB] You ask 'em what's a man? They say that dude that got them stacks on stacks and rubber bands, finger to the government I want it I get it it's mine, can't tell me nothing bro My money my girl and my nine, these my rules (what you talkin' 'bout?) No one man should have all that power He doesn't have it 'cause power is not ours Feelin' like you in control, no you are owned God is running it, do as you're told, ok let me talk to 'em real quick I'ma get to talkin' 'bout submitting to authority, somebody being over me, we say no no But we gotta get that if we are not submitting then we missing the fact that we are not our own God can judge me, and the Judge says if you do not follow then you can't lead Get it, live it, got it? Good [Hook – Lecrae] If you can't follow you can't never lead And you don't run a thing till you runnin' to the King And who I follow's who they follow when they follow me A real man bows down to authority Bow down, bow down to authority Bow down, bow down to authority And who I follow's who they follow when they follow me Bow down, bow down to authority
