I Can’t Play The Background

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 I'mma
Need y'all to clap loud
I kinda want my name in lights (on that)
And on that flyer too (yeah)
I'mma need you to Retweet my quotes
Or I will unfollow 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) i'mma 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
(What's wrong?)
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
(Got to) if you a Christian rapper
Man be a Christian rapper
Don't put the rapper first
Then throw the Christian after

See this is your boy Elijah Smooth, baby
(Elijah Smooth)
I just wanted to do this song right here to
To remind y'all (So smooth, so smooth)
All things are by the Lord, to the Lord
And 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 (yeahyeah)
Before I'm called somewhere
I'm called to someone Jesus (Majesty)
See we are the only rappers
(Retweet) 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

Now, I ain't dissing nobody
That's not how Elijah Smooth operates
I ain't against promotion
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, heh, and I love you too
Let's play the background
