authority

if you can't follow you can't never lead

and you don't run a thing till 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 real

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 went left into death saying next what a mess

beating on my chest and thinking i am strong

bowflex

if you gon' take charge for the lord then you 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 till 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

bow down

bow down 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 or cats try 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

heyyy

if you can't follow you can't never lead

and you don't run a thing till 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

bow down

bow down to authority

and who i follow's who they follow when they follow me

bow down

bow down to authority

you ask 'em what's a man?

they say that dude that got them stacks on stacks and 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

no 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 'em real quick

i'ma 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 then 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 till you runnin' to the king

and who i follow's who they follow when they follow me

a real man bows down to authority

and who i follow's who they follow when they follow me

bow down
