Lecrae

While there’s no sure route to carving out a significant presence in the music industry, there’s always something to be said for remaining true to one’s self. Since arriving on the scene with his 2004 debut Real Talk, Lecrae has been occupying two different yet not entirely opposing worlds: the sacred and the profane. Which is to say that his art, not unlike his life, has been as much about inspiring the streets, and about justice, freedom, and interrogating real-world issues, as it is about his personal journey of faith. His music has long served as a call to arms for those willing to sacrifice for a cause beyond themselves. Still, he won’t be boxed in to any genre or made to serve as a poster-child for any particular agenda. Following a host of celebrated … more »

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

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 passive
In our actions living absentee
Stand and wait while asking them to marry me
We wait left into death 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

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

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, hey

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

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

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
