Verse 1
Em
Knowledge is power
Bm
Em
Bm
And knowledge can be the difference between
Em
Bm
Em
life
Bm
Em
or death
You should know the truth and the
Bm
Em
truth shall set you free
Bm
I was raised like
Verse 2
a Muslim
prayin' to the East
Nature of my life relates rhymes I release
F
Like a cannon 'cause I been plannin'
F#
Bm
to be rammin' what I wrote
C
F
Straight on a plate down your throat
Bm
So digest as I suggest
Em
Bm
we take a good look
Em
C
At who's who while I'm readin'
Em
from my good book
Bm
And let's dig into every
Em
nook and every cranny
Bm
Set your mind free as I slam
these thoughts
G
Bm
And just like a jammy goes,
"Baow"
G
You're gonna see what
Bm
I'm sayin' 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'
C
Bm
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
Em
Bm
together so I break
C
On fools with no rhymes skills
Bm
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
G
Guru with the mic and Premi
C
Bm
er raise the anchor
Swiftly, as we embark on a journey,
I had to get an attorney
G
I needed someone to defend
Bm
my position
Decisions I made,
C
Em
'cause now it's time to get paid
Bm
And ladies,
G
Bm
these rhymes are like the keys to a dope car
Maybe a Lexus or a Jaguar
Still, all of that is just material
Em
So won't you dig the scenario
And just imagine if each
Bm
one is teachin' one
We'll come together so that we become
A strong force,
G
Bm
then we can stay on course
G
Find your direction through
Bm
introspection
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
Em
You can't, you can't, you can't
You can't handle the whole
Bm
Em
Bm
Em
weight
Bm
You can't handle the whole

Verse 4
Bm
The weight of the world
is heavy on my mind
G
Bm
So as my feelings unwind I find
That some try to be down just
'cause it's trendy
Em
Bm
Others fall victim to envy
G
But I'll take the road less travelled
Bm
So I can see all my hopes
and my dreams unravel
G
Relievin' your stress,
Em
Bm
expressin' my interest
Em
Bm
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
G
Bm
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
Em
Bm
I use my rhymes like a Glock automatic
Any means necessary,
I'm goin' all out
Em
Bm
Before the rains bring the nuclear fallout
So let me ask you, is it too late?
Ayo, who's gonna take the weight?
Verse 5
Bm
G
Bm
You can't handle the
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
Bm
You can't, you can't,
G
Bm
you can't handle the whole weight
