"Knowledge is power, and knowledge can be the difference between life
3
or death...you should know the truth and the truth shall set you
4
free."
5
Verse 1
6
I was raised like a Muslim
7
Prayin' to the East
8
Nature of my life relates rhymes I release
9
like a cannon
10
Cuz I been plannin' to be rammin' what I wrote
11
straight on a plate down your throat
12
So digest as I suggest we take a good look
13
At who's who while I'm readin' from my good book
14
And let's dig into every nook and every cranny
15
Set your mind free as I slam these thoughts
16
And just like a jammy goes pow [FX: Gunshots]
17
You're gonna see what I'm sayin' now
18
You can't be sleepin'
19
cuz things are gettin' crazy
20
You better stop being lazy
21
There's many people frontin'
22
And many brothers droppin'
23
All because of dumb things, let me tell you somethin'
24
I've been through so much that I'm such
25
a maniac, but I still act out of faith
26
that we can get the shit together so I break
27
on fools with no rhymes skills messin' up the flow
28
And people with no sense who be movin' much too slow
29
And so, you will know the meaning of the Gang Starr
30
Guru with the mic and Premier raise the anchor
31
swiftly, as we embark on a journey
32
I had to get an attorney
33
I needed someone to defend my position
34
Decisions I made, cuz now it's time to get paid
35
And ladies, these rhymes are like the keys to a dope car
36
Maybe a Lexus or a Jaguar
37
Still, all of that is just material
38
So won't you dig the scenario
39
And just imagine if each one is teachin' one
40
We'll come together so that we become
41
A strong force, then we can stay on course
42
Find your direction through introspection
43
And for my people out there I got a question
44
Can we be the sole controllers of our fate?
45
Now who's gonna take the weight?
46
Verse 2
47
The weight of the world is heavy on my mind
48
So as my feelings unwind I find
49
That some try to be down just cuz it's trendy
50
Others fall victim to envy
51
But I'll take the road less travelled
52
So I can see all my hopes and my dreams unravel
53
Relievin' your stress, expressin' my interest
54
In the situation that you're facin'
55
That's why I'm down with the Nation
56
Spirituality supports reality
57
We gotta fight with the right mentality
58
So we can gain what is rightfully ours
59
This is the meaning of the chain and the star
60
Land is power, so gimme forty acres
61
Let's see how far I can take ya
62
Original invincible
63
That's how I'm lookin' at it
64
I use my rhymes like a Glock automatic
65
Any means necessary, I'm goin' all out
66
Before the rains bring the nuclear fallout
67
So let me ask you, is it too late?
68
Ayo, who's gonna take the weight?
