歌手: Gang Starr
时长: 03:51
Knowledge is power and knowledge can be the difference between life [00:00:02]
Or death you should know the truth and the truth shall set you free [00:00:07]
I was raised like a Muslim [00:00:17]
Prayin' to the East [00:00:18]
Nature of my life relates rhymes I release [00:00:20]
Like a cannon [00:00:22]
Cuz I been plannin' to be rammin' what I wrote [00:00:23]
Straight on a plate down your throat [00:00:25]
So digest as I suggest we take a good look [00:00:27]
At who's who while I'm readin' from my good book [00:00:29]
And let's dig into every nook and every cranny [00:00:31]
Set your mind free as I slam these thoughts [00:00:34]
And just like a jammy goes pow [00:00:36]
You're gonna see what I'm sayin' now [00:00:38]
You can't be sleepin' [00:00:40]
Cuz things are gettin' crazy [00:00:41]
You better stop being lazy [00:00:43]
There's many people frontin' [00:00:44]
And many brothers droppin' [00:00:46]
All because of dumb things let me tell you somethin [00:00:47]
I've been through so much that I'm such [00:00:50]
A maniac but I still act out of faith [00:00:52]
That we can get the sh*t together so I break [00:00:54]
On fools with no rhymes skills messin' up the flow [00:00:56]
And people with no sense who be movin' much too slow [00:00:58]
And so you will know the meaning of the Gang Starr [00:01:01]
Guru with the mic and Premier raise the anchor [00:01:03]
Swiftly as we embark on a journey [00:01:05]
I had to get an attorney [00:01:08]
I needed someone to defend my position [00:01:10]
Decisions I made cuz now it's time to get paid [00:01:12]
And ladies these rhymes are like the keys to a d**e car [00:01:14]
Maybe a Lexus or a Jaguar [00:01:17]
Still all of that is just material [00:01:19]
So won't you dig the scenario [00:01:21]
And just imagine if each one is teachin' one [00:01:23]
We'll come together so that we become [00:01:26]
A strong force then we can stay on course [00:01:28]
Find your direction through introspection [00:01:30]
And for my people out there I got a question [00:01:33]
Can we be the sole controllers of our fate [00:01:35]
Now who's gonna take the weight [00:01:37]
(歌手伴音) [00:01:40]
The weight of the world is heavy on my mind [00:01:58]
So as my feelings unwind I find [00:02:00]
That some try to be down just cuz it's trendy [00:02:02]
Others fall victim to envy [00:02:04]
But I'll take the road less travelled [00:02:06]
So I can see all my hopes and my dreams unravel [00:02:08]
Relievin' your stress expressin' my interest [00:02:11]
In the situation that you're facin' [00:02:13]
That's why I'm down with the Nation [00:02:16]
Spirituality supports reality [00:02:18]
We gotta fight with the right mentality [00:02:20]
So we can gain what is rightfully ours [00:02:23]
This is the meaning of the chain and the star [00:02:25]
Land is power so gimme forty acres [00:02:27]
Let's see how far I can take ya [00:02:29]
Original invincible [00:02:31]
That's how I'm lookin' at it [00:02:33]
I use my rhymes like a Glock automatic [00:02:34]
Any means necessary I'm goin' all out [00:02:36]
Before the rains bring the nuclear fallout [00:02:39]
So let me ask you is it too late [00:02:41]
Ayo who's gonna take the weight [00:02:43]
