[CHORUS 1 – Stephen Marley]

This one's for all the leaders

Leader

Lets all change the world

Change the world

This one's for all the leaders

Leader

Lets all change the world

Change the world



[VERSE 1 – Nas]

Yeah!

Got out the 600

Blunted

Chicks hunt him

Neighborhood know he comin'

Jakes hate him

Snakes could not violate him

Pimps memorize his lines-verbatim

He reps N.Y. yo

Gives C-notes to winos

Not church

It's how he tithe though

He walks the tenement

Sleeps at his super fly condo

My kinda nigga

My Icon, my Idol

No certificate

For this misfit who handle business

The odds stacked against him

He fights back mackin Benzes

Never puts cash or ass

Before friendship

He laughs last?

As some die young

He is still existing

Somehow he got around the pitfalls of the system

When he walks we watch

When he talks we listen

Leaders



[CHORUS 2 – Stephen Marley]

This one's for all the leaders

Leader

Lets all change the world

Change the world

This one's for all the leaders

Leader

Lets all change the world

Change the world



[VERSE 2 – JR. GONG]

Who do I follow?

Who do I copy?

Look in to the mirror

And it's you I see look at me

Everything new

Like it fresh from the factory

Everything you do?

It impact me

Your lifestyle attract me

Parents try distract me

When I grow up

I want to be like you exactly

And as soon as I get over this acne

There's no way anybody coulda stop me

Me gravitate toward the aura

And all the mannerism

The sending out of orders

And man start moving busy

The locking of the corners?

The streets and all the buildings

Mi love you like a father

Mi ready and mi willing

Anything what you a talk

Is law in my dominion

And mi have similar thoughts

I share the same opinions

Mi have it say you smart

With mi best interest at heart

I'm following your path

Yow mine whe you a walk



[CHORUS 3 – Stephen Marley]

This one's for all the leaders

Leader

Lets all change the world

Change the world

This one's for all the leaders

Leader

Lets all change the world

Change the world



[VERSE 3 – Nas]

They appeal to the conscious

The Paramount

The Cesar, the monsters

The grandiose, the matters

The hell on earth pompous

Ellsworth Bumpy Johnsons

The Harlemites the Garveyites

Black as the credit card we swipe

Poppin' Dom tonight

For all of mine

I can see myself back at the Autobahn

Malcolm on the podium

Shells drop to linoleum

Swipe those

Place 'em on display at the Smithsonian

Next to only gems

That were left behind

By holy men

Infectious

Charisma of those who gave us direction

The anti-sexes

Resistance against oppression

Progressive thinking

Ghetto speakers

Protestors against the colored

Only section to the Jena 6 and

The Frost Nixon

The contradiction

The cross the crucifixion

The loss we took for sinning

On Esau's back inscription

That it was written

That nothing is coincidence'n

They took our leaders and they lynched them



[CHORUS 4 – Stephen Marley]

This one's for all the leaders

Leader

Lets all change the world

Change the world

This one's for all the leaders

Leader

Lets all change the world

Change the world

Change the world, change the world

Change the world

Change the world, change the world

You change the world
