[VERSE
 1
 – 
NAS]
Yeah!
Got
 out 
the 
600
Blunted
Chicks
 hunt 
him
Neighborhood
 know
 he 
comin’
Jake
 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 
tho
He
 walks 
the 
tenement
Sleeps 
at 
his 
super 
fly
 condo
My 
kind
a 
n-gga
My
 Icon, 
my 
Idol
No
 certificate
For
 this 
misfit 
who 
handle 
business
The
 odds 
stacked 
against 
him
He
 fights 
back 
mack’n 
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

[Verse 
2 
– Damian Marley]
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 
martyers
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
