I can play the background (2x)

Cause I know some times I get in the way

So wont you take lead

And I can play the can background

 

Verse 1

 

It's evident you run the show/ so let me backdown/ you take the leading role and I'll just play the background/ I know I miss my cues/ know I forget my lines/ I'm stickin to your script/ I'm reading all your singns// don't need my name in lights/ don't need a staring role/ why gain the whole wide world/ If I'm just gone lose my soul/ My ways aint pure if I don't live according to your word/ I cant endure this life without your wisdom being heard/ word/ to every dancer for a pop star/ Cause we all play the background/but mines a rock star/  yeah / so if you need I'll be stage right/ praying that the world would start embracing stage frightI/So let me fall back/ stop given my suggestions/ cuz when I follow my obsessions/ I end up confession/ that I am not impressive/ matter fact I'm who I are/ a trail of stardust leading to the superstar/

 

Verse 2

 

I had dream that I was captain of soul and I was master of my fate/ I lost control and then I sank/ so I don't wanna take the lead cause I prone ta make mistakes/ and all the folks who follow me gone end up in the wrong place/ So just let me shadow you/  just let me trace your lines/ matter fact just take pen and you create my rhymes/ Cause if I do it by myself I'm scared that I'll succeed/ & no longer trust in you/ cause I only trust in me/ see/ that's how you end up headed to destruction/ paving a road nowhere/ pour your life out for nothing/ 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 u at any cost/ some call it sovereign will/ But all I know is you the boss/ man im so I'm at ease/ I'm so content/I play the background like its an instrument / 

 

Verse 3

 

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/ cause theres a way that seems right but it's the wrong way/ so take the lead of all my destiny-  beyonce/ and I/ aint 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 wanna do these things for you/ yet don't even cling to you/  take time to sit and glean from you/ and it seems that you/ are patient in my ignorance/ if ignorance is bliss it's cause she never heard of this/
