Who's Gonna Take The Weight - 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

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
