Who's Gonna Take The Weight? |
| Knowledge is power, and knowledge can be the difference between life or death |
| You should know the truth and the truth shall set you free |
| I was raised like a Muslim, prayin' to the East |
| Nature of my life relates rhymes I release like a cannon |
| 'Cause I been plannin' to be rammin' what I wrote |
| Straight on a plate down your throat |
| So digest as I suggest, we take a good look |
| At who’s who while I’m readin' from my good book |
| And let’s dig into every nook and every cranny |
| Set your mind free as I slam these thoughts |
| And just like a jammy goes bow |
| You’re gonna see what I’m sayin' now |
| You can’t be sleepin', 'cause things are gettin' crazy |
| You better stop being lazy |
| There’s many people frontin', and many brothers droppin' |
| All because of dumb things, let me tell you somethin' |
| I’ve been through so much that I’m such |
| A maniac, but I still act out of faith |
| That we can get the shit together so I break |
| On fools with no rhymes skills messin' up the flow |
| And people with no sense who be movin' much too slow |
| And so, you will know the meaning of the Gang Starr |
| Guru with the mic and Premier raise the anchor |
| Swiftly, as we embark on a journey |
| I had to get an attorney |
| I needed someone to defend my position |
| Decisions I made, 'cause now it’s time to get paid |
| And ladies, these rhymes are like the keys to a dope car |
| Maybe a Lexus or a Jaguar |
| Still, all of that is just material |
| So won’t you dig the scenario |
| And just imagine if each one is teachin' one |
| We’ll come together so that we become |
| A strong force, then we can stay on course |
| Find your direction through introspection |
| And for my people out there I got a question |
| Can we be the sole controllers of our fate? |
| Now who’s gonna take the weight? |
| You can’t handle the whole weight |
| The weight of the world is heavy on my mind |
| So as my feelings unwind I find |
| That some try to be down just 'cause it’s trendy |
| Others fall victim to envy |
| But I’ll take the road less traveled |
| So I can see all my hopes and my dreams unravel |
| Relievin' your stress, expressin' my interest |
| In the situation that you’re facin' |
| That’s why I’m down with the Nation |
| Spirituality supports reality |
| We gotta fight with the right mentality |
| So we can gain what is rightfully ours |
| This is the meaning of the chain and the star |
| Land is power, so gimme forty acres |
| Let’s see how far I can take ya |
| Original invincible, that’s how I’m lookin' at it |
| I use my rhymes like a Glock automatic |
| Any means necessary, I’m goin' all out |
| Before the rains bring the nuclear fallout |
| So let me ask you, is it too late? |
| Ayo, who’s gonna take the weight? |
| You can’t handle the whole weight |
