"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?
|
