1.	Who's Gonna Take The Weight? 03:36	lyrics	buy track
BARACK OBAMA: It shows a poverty of ambition to just want to take more and more and more instead of saying “wow, I’ve got so much. Who can I help? How can I give more and more and more?” That’s ambition That’s impact, that’s influence CHILLEST ILLEST: My brother Ain’t no Al Sharpton! It’s Pete Miser Chillest Illest, man 5 Fingers of Funk, man PETE MISER: RBG Rest In Peace 2020’s definitely testing me Don’t know how much fight I got left in me Nonetheless I feel her spirit standing next to me Raise my glass, praise days gone past When the fight for equality stayed on path May Trayvon’s last breath not be in vain May the powerful appreciate poor folks’ pain Out for gain? or out for justice? The fight is on dust off your musket I won’t be happy ’til the apple cart is upset You’re either disgusted or else your suspect Tell me what it’s gonna take And who’s gonna take the weight? John Lewis Rest In Peace 2020’s definitely testing me Wish this vicious year would let me be But in his honor I won’t let it get to me Stay strong, soldier on Sometimes you know you’re right Because you’re told you’re wrong Sometimes you want to give up when the odds are long But sometimes the game ends checkmate by pawn Word, that’s what it’s about It’s a lifetime struggle and we’re toughing it out Play the long game maintain faith through the pain And in his name let’s aim for positive change Tell me what it’s gonna take And who’s gonna take the weight? Is it you? Or is it me? Is it us? Who’s gonna take the weight? If I don’t get involved I can’t complain And god damn it I wanna complain But how am I woke trying to lay blame If I’m not working for change? Who’s gonna take the weight? Who’s gonna take the weight? Who’s gonna suit up and step up and get up And get their ass in the game? Tell me what it’s gonna take And who’s gonna take the weight? Is it you? Or is it me? Is it us? Who’s gonna take the weight?
