[Verse 1: Talib Kweli]
Welcome to the new age, where they're thirsty for that Kool-Aid
Thirsty for first in that page, really thirsty just to be fake
Be the first to hate what you say, tryna diss you calling you "gay"
Such an urgency to express himself but really nothing to say
Don't fuck with us too tough, get high [?] do drugs
Like spit me out I'm chewed up [?]
I know you up in this club, I know you don't give a fuck
You told me what you don't like, you made that clear, now what do you love?
It's gotta be more so is the life of the rich some people gotta be poor
I've been through a door, I will not sell you a dream that's what the lottery for
The music is clay, I shaped it, I molded it
Like it was pottery or the mouth with the law
Twist it like Robert Duvall [?]
Free like the diamond you found on the floor
[?]
Enough about y'all, now back to me
Ain't no academic leave, I'm not faculty
These new slaves ain't ready for my masterpiece
So when they hear me rap it's catastrophe
Cause a casualty so casually
They mistake what I do for having beef
I don't actually wish anybody harm
Now stretch your arms and clap for me[Hook x2: Talib Kweli]
Wake up, cause no you're not dreaming
Catch up with us, cause we leaving
Got enough, followers
I'm lookin' for some new leaders
I'm lookin' for some new leaders
I'm lookin' for some new leaders
Got enough, followers
I'm lookin' for some new leaders[Verse 2: AK]
Ever since the day I was born, that [?] the day I was chosen
To rise above them all and be a leader
Im like Malcolm X when on the podium
Martin Luther with a dream
[?]
Through the money and the fame ain't shit gonn' change for the light we adjust
Do it for the children without a ceiling to live up under
Times getting hard that's why my niggas smoke that tropic thunder
If all our people spreaded love instead of evil
We would prosper our conscious to a level with no equal lethal
Stay true i gave you my oath
What would the ancient god my nigga [?]
Through all the book and the [?] i was taught
I look at myself and pretend to learn the most
Our leaders dead and gone whats left for the believers
If you looking for the truth, one word, Underachievers nigga[Hook x2: Talib Kweli]
