Who's Gonna Take The Weight? Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Knowledge is power
[Bm]And knowledge can be the d[Em]ifference betw[Bm]een
[Em]life[Bm][Em]
[Bm]or d[Em]eath
You should know the truth and the
[Bm]truth shall set [Em]you free
I was [Bm]raised like

[Verse 2]
a Muslim
prayin' to the East
Nature of my life relates rhymes I release
Like a cannon 'cause I been [F]plannin'
to be [F#]rammin' what I [Bm]wrote
[C]Straight on a plate [F]down your throat
So di[Bm]gest as I suggest
[Em]we take a good[Bm] look
[Em]At who's w[C]ho while I'm readin'
from my [Em]good book
And let's [Bm]dig into every
[Em]nook and every cranny
Set your [Bm]mind free as I slam
these thoughts
[G]And just l[Bm]ike a jammy goes,
"Baow"
You're gonna [G]see what
I'm say[Bm]in' now
You can't be sleepin' 'cause
things are gettin' crazy
You better stop being lazy,
there's many people frontin'
And many brothers droppin'
[Em]All because of dumb things,
let me tell you somethin'
I've been through [C]so much [Bm]that I'm such
A maniac, but I still act out of faith
That we can get the shit
togeth[Em]er so [Bm]I break
On [C]fools with no rhymes skills
messin' up the [Bm]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 [G]mic and Premi
[C]er raise the [Bm]anchor
Swiftly, as we embark on a journey,
I had to get an attorney
I needed someone [G]to defend
[Bm]my position
Decisions I made,
[C]'cause now it's [Em]time to get paid
[Bm]And ladies,
[G]these rhymes are like the key[Bm]s to a dope car
Maybe a Lexus or a Jaguar
Still, all of that is just material
So won't you dig the scenari[Em]o
And just imagine if each
[Bm]one is teachin' one
We'll come together so that we become
A strong force,
then [G]we can stay on [Bm]course
Find your dir[G]ection through
intro[Bm]spection
And for my people out
there I got a question
Can we be the sole
controllers of our fate?

[Verse 3]
Now who's gonna take the weight?
[Bm]You can't, you c[Em]an't, you can't
You can't handle the whole
[Bm]weight[Em][Bm][Em]
You can't handle the [Bm]whole

[Interlude 1]
weight
[F][Bm]

[Verse 4]
[Bm]The weight of the world
is heavy on my mind
So as my [G]feelings un[Bm]wind I find
That some try to be down just
'cause it's trendy
Others fall [Em]victim [Bm]to envy
But I'll take the [G]road less travelled
So [Bm]I can see all my hopes
and my dreams unravel
Relievin' [G]your stress,
ex[Em]pressin' my in[Bm]terest
In [Em]the situation that you're fa[Bm]cin'
That's why I'm down
with the Nation
Spirituality supports reality
We gotta fight with the right mentality
So we can [G]gain what is rightfully [Bm]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 [Em]rhymes [Bm]like a Glock automatic
Any means necessary,
I'm goin' all out
Before the [Em]rains bring the [Bm]nuclear fallout
So let me ask you, is it too late?
Ayo, who's gonna take the weight?

[Verse 5]
[Bm]You [G]can't handle t[Bm]he
whole weight
You can't, you can't,
you can't handle the whole weight
You can't, you can't,
you can't handle the whole weight
[G]You can't, you [Bm]can't,
you [G]can't handle [Bm]the whole weight
