Testo The New Leaders - Talib Kweli feat. The Underachievers
Testo della canzone The New Leaders (Talib Kweli feat. The Underachievers), tratta dall'album Gravitas
Nananananana, whoa-ho
Nananananana, whoa-ho
Nananananana, whoa-ho
Nananananana, whoa-ho
Nananananana, whoa-ho
Nananananana, whoa-ho
Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap
Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap for me, hey
Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap
Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, now bring it back
Welcome to the new age, where they thirsty for that Kool-Aid
Thirsty for the first on that page
Only thirsty just to be fadе
Be the first to hatе what you say
Try to diss you, calling you gay
Such an urgent need to express yourself
But really nothing to say
Don't fuck with us, we too tough
Get high like we do drugs
Like spit me out, I'm chewed up
My life's chopped and screwed 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?
There's gotta be more
Some live 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 mind with the law, twisted like Robert Duvall
Son, the Godfather raw
Free as the diamond you find on the floor
Furnished the rhyme with the proper decor
I burnished the nine in my mind with the gloss
So the burner will shine when I'm popping the door
Off the top of the law, if a style is married to substance
You sound like you got a divorce
That's why I block 'em and following y'all
I done forgot what I'm following for
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
Causing casualties 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
Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap
Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap for me, uh
Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap
Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, now bring it back
Wake up 'cause no, you're not dreaming
Catch up with us 'cause we leaving
Got enough followers, I'm looking for some new leaders
I'm looking for some new leaders, I'm looking for some new leaders
Got enough followers, I'm looking for some new leaders
Wake up 'cause no, you're not dreaming
Catch up with us 'cause we leaving
Got enough followers, I'm looking for some new leaders
I'm looking for some new leaders, I'm looking for some new leaders
Got enough followers, I'm looking for some new leaders
Ever since the day I was born
That marks the day I was chosen
To rise above them all and be a leader
I'm like Malcolm X when on the podium
Martin Luther with a dream, Rosa Parks on the bus
Though as funny as it seems, they remind me of us
Through the money and the fame
Ain't shit gon' change for the life 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 conscience to a level with no equal, lethal
Stay true, I gave you my oath
Walk with the ancient god, my nigga Thoth
Threw out the books in the schools I was taught
And look at myself, pretend to learn the most
Our leaders dead and gone, what's left for the believers?
If you looking for the truth, one word, underachievers, nigga
Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap
Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap for me, uh
Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap
Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, now bring it back
Wake up 'cause no, you're not dreaming
Catch up with us 'cause we leaving
Got enough followers, I'm looking for some new leaders
I'm looking for some new leaders, I'm looking for some new leaders
Got enough followers, I'm looking for some new leaders
Wake up 'cause no, you're not dreaming
Catch up with us 'cause we leaving
Got enough followers, I'm looking for some new leaders
I'm looking for some new leaders, I'm looking for some new leaders
Got enough followers, I'm looking for some new leaders
As I change the so-called predestined course of my life
Advance my ship so now I travel at the speed of light
Moving these intricate insecurities out of sight
Moving my soul forward from the darkness into the light
I take flight, it's goodbye to all the negativity
That plague millions of young innocent souls like me
Gave me the genius mindstate necessary
To feast off of this unlimited figurative tree, of life
I try to tell these niggas that our purpose is to move it
Something like Darwin's beliefs of humans and evolutions
As I fall asleep on these social forms of materialism
I wake up engulfed in more colors than your normal prism
Which bless my soul and blinded me to a flurry of visions
Enlighten me on what to cut with such gifted precision
And now I'm truly living (Bless up, bless up)
And now I'm truly living (Bless up, bless up)
Wake up 'cause no, you're not dreaming
Catch up with us 'cause we leaving
Got enough followers, I'm looking for some new leaders
I'm looking for some new leaders, I'm looking for some new leaders
Got enough followers, I'm looking for some new leaders
Wake up 'cause no, you're not dreaming
Catch up with us 'cause we leaving
Got enough followers, I'm looking for some new leaders
I'm looking for some new leaders, I'm looking for some new leaders
Got enough followers, I'm looking for some new leaders
Nananananana, whoa-ho
Nananananana, whoa-ho
Nananananana, whoa-ho
Nananananana, whoa-ho
Nananananana, whoa-ho
