Who's Gonna Take The Weight Lyrics - Gangstarr

Intro 

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 whos who while Im readin from my good book 

And lets 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] 

Youre gonna see what Im sayin now 

You cant be sleepin 

Cuz things are gettin crazy 

You better stop being lazy 

Theres many people frontin 

And many brothers droppin 

All because of dumb things, let me tell you somethin 

Ive been through so much that Im 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 its 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 wont you dig the scenario 

And just imagine if each one is teachin one 

Well 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 whos 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 its trendy 

Others fall victim to envy 

But Ill 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 youre facin 

Thats why Im 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 

Lets see how far I can take ya 

Original invincible 

Thats how Im lookin at it 

I use my rhymes like a glock automatic 

Any means necessary, Im goin all out 

Before the rains bring the nuclear fallout 

So let me ask you, is it too late? 

Ayo, whos gonna take the weight?
