Lecrae - Authority lyrics

[Intro: Lecrae] Whoa If you can't follow you can't never lead And you don't run a thing 'til 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 reel 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 wait left into d**h saying next what a mess Beating on my chest and thinking I am strong go flex If you gone take charge for the Lord then you'll 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 (Tedashii)] If you can't follow you can't never lead And you don't run a thing 'til 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 To authority And who I follow's who they follow when they follow me (Bow down Bow down) To authority [Verse 2: Derek Minor (fka PRo)] Hey I don't care what they tell you that cat's trying 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] If you can't follow you can't never lead And you don't run a thing 'til 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 3: KB] You ask em what's a man? They say that dude that got them stacks on stacks In 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?) Not 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 him real quick Let me 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 Than 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] If you can't follow you can't never lead And you don't run a thing 'til you runnin to the King And who I follow's who they follow when they follow me A real man bows down to authority
