Whos Gonna Take The Weight Lyrics by Gang Starr

Whos Gonna Take The Weight Lyrics


    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 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?
