I Can't Play The Background (feat. Elijah Smooth)

I can't play the background

I can't play the background

'cause i know sometimes i wanna be lecrae

Or maybe trip lee, lee, lee

Tedashii, shii, shii

Or sho baraka, aka

Pro and kb

(rock with you're boy elijah smooth. let's go)

It's evident you run the show so let me back down (yes)

As long as when you run it it comes with a packed crowd

(at least at the house)

So i can say at last i'm on the map now (i made it)

After i say something deep imma need y'all to clap loud

I kinda want my name in lights (on that)

And on that flyer too (yeah)

Imma need you to re-tweet my quotes or i will un-follow you (click)

I try to be deep when i tweet but in my mentions i don't get enough credit

Though i got this from piper twists some words up then said i said it (tweet tweet)

I want a dove award

I want a grammy too and

Wait, wait, it's not about me

Jesus, it's all about you

Only reason i haven't blown is because people sleep

They ask me to open for trip lee, trip lee should open for me, me (yeah)

Imma change the game, madison square garden is my aim (my aim)

That's why i gotta tell you every five minutes go and like my facebook fan-page (fan page)

But if i can be honest i get depressed when people ain't feelin' me

Twenty people say awesome job man, one person hates it: i'm crushed for the week

See that's that i want the glory, for jesus tendency

Jealous, selfish, ambitious scandal but call it ministry

So what if people know who you are

None of that will matter at all

You will be judged for the size of your stay with the faithfulness you had to the cause

Behind the scenes, in front of folk, in front of folk

Jesus has still gotta be, be our only boast

If you a christian rapper, man be a christian rapper

Don't put the rapper first, then put throw christian after

(talking):

See this is your boy elijah smooth baby (elijah smooth)

I just wanted to do this song right here to (so smooth, so smooth)

To remind y'all

All things are by the lord, to the lord, for the lord (uh huh)

Whether you're called to the big stage or, called to the small stage (shoo be doo doo doo)

Remember there's a call (yeah..yeah)

Before i'm called to somewhere, i'm called to someone: jesus (majesty)

See we are the only rappers (re-tweet) that get no credit for what we do

We're responsible for all of our failures, and none of our successes (twenty more followers)

And we're at our best, when we're out the way

Playing the background and letting jesus take the lead

(my identity is not in my likes)

Ain't no room in there to be prideful y'all

(on facebook)

Be humble, or be quiet (but in jesus)

Yeah

I can't play the background (thank you for rocking with ya boy elijah smooth)

I can't play the background (let's go ride this out. goodnight)

'cause i know sometimes i wanna be lecrae

Or maybe trip lee, lee, lee

Tedashii, shii, shii

Or sho baraka, aka

Pro and kb

(talking):

Now i ain't dissing nobody

That's not how elijah smooth operates

I ain't against emotion,

Asking people to like your facebook page and stuff like that alright

I'm just coming at the heart

Just saying check your heart

Let's be who god want's us to be, and nobody else

The lord loves ya, and i love you too

Let's play the background
