GROC - Background lyrics

[Hook: Andy Mineo] 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: 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 Why gain the whole wide world, If I'm just gon' 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 will start embracing stage fright So let me fall back, 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 [Hook: Andy Mineo] 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: 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, cause I'm prone to make mistakes All these folks who follow me, gon' end up in the wrong place So let me just shadow you, 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 Man, I'm so at ease, I'm so content I'll play the background, like it's an instrument [Hook: Andy Mineo] 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: Lecrae] 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 Seems You were patient in my ignorance If ignorance is bliss, it's cause she never heard of this [Hook: Andy Mineo] 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: Andy Mineo] 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
