 (Nas with Damian Marley;
feat. Stephen Marley)
[Chorus 1: Ragamuffin]
This one's for all the leaders
Leader
Let's all change the world
Change the world
This one's for all the leaders
Leader
Let's all change the world
Change the world
[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 nigga
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
Leaders
[Chorus 2: Ragamuffin]
This one's for all the leaders
Leader
Let's all change the world
Change the world
This one's for all the leaders
Leader
Let's all change the world
Change the world
[Verse 2: Damian "Jr. Gong" 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: Ragamuffin]
This one's for all the leaders
Leader
Let's all change the world
Change the world
This one's for all the leaders
Leader
Let's 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 antisexes
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
They took our leaders and they lynched them
[Chorus 4: Ragamuffin]
This one's for all the leaders
Leader
Let's all change the world
Change the world
This one's for all the leaders
Leader
Let's 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
