This is one of my all time favorites from Lecrae! I love to play the background–it’s the safest place for me.
My favorite part:
So let me fall back, stop giving my suggestions,
‘Cause when I follow my obsessions, I end up confessing,
That I’m not that impressive, matter of fact,
I’m who I are, a trail of stardust leading to the superstar.
You can get “Background” on Lecrae’s CD entitled Rehab. Full lyrics below.
Chorus
I could play the background

So won’t You take the lead, lead, lead, lead, lead
And I could play the background, background
And you could take the lead
Verse 1
It’s evident you run the show, so let me back down
You take the leading role, and I’ll play the background
I know I miss my cues, know I forget my lines
I’m sticking to your script, and I’m reading all your signs
I don’t need my name in lights, I don’t need a starring role
Why gain the whole wide world, If I’m just going lose my soul
And my ways ain’t purified, don’t live according to Your Word
I can’t endure this life without Your wisdom being heard
So word to every dance, a foe, a pop star
‘Cause we all play the background, but mine’s a rockstar
Yeah, so if you need me I’ll be stage right
Praying the whole world will start embracing stage fright
So let me fall back, stop giving my suggestions
‘Cause when I follow my obsessions, I end up confessing
That I’m not that impressive, matter of fact
I’m who I are, a trail of stardust leading to the superstar [...]
