Lyrics: If you can't follow you can never lead
And you don't run a thing 'til you running 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 in 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 Bowflex
If you want take charge for the Lord then you'll lead her
Being one who serves like the one who chose to bleed uh
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 never lead
And you don't run a thing 'til you running 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 (2x)
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 the 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

If you can't follow you can never lead
And you don't run a thing 'til you running 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 (2x)
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 gots them stacks
And 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? No one man should have all that power
He doesn't have it cause power is not ours
Sinning 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 are missing the fact that we are not our own
God can judge men and the judge says
If you can't follow then you can't lead
Get it Live it Got it Good

If you can't follow you can never lead
And you don't run a thing 'til you running 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 (2x)
And who I follow's who they follow when they follow me
Bow down bow down to authority

♪♫♪ When it comes to manhood, we live to our sisters. What a tragedy, travesty, passive in our actions. Living absentee, stand and wait, while asking them to marry me. ♫♪ Oouuuchhh...

[hueyma]

@2row777 I think its "we leave it to our sister" which is even more of an ouch. As a culture of Christian men, we need to step up.

Love dis song

[jcmgv2]

If she disrespects herself show her who she's supposed to be

she a qu7een and the scriptures say she is the weaker vessel

it's more like fine china doesn't mean she's any lesser
