Gang Starr - Who's Gonna Take The Weight lyrics

Your rating:

"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."
 Verse 1
 I was raised like a Muslim
 Prayin' to the East
 Nature of my life relates rhymes I release
 like a cannon
 Cuz 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 pow [FX: Gunshots]
 You're gonna see what I'm sayin' now
 You can't be sleepin'
 cuz 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, cuz 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?
 Verse 2
 The weight of the world is heavy on my mind
 So as my feelings unwind I find
 That some try to be down just cuz it's trendy
 Others fall victim to envy
 But I'll take the road less travelled
 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
