   There are seven references to “weeping and gnashing of teeth” in the Bible. One verse, (Matthew 13:42),states that “…into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.” This verse describes the plight of those who will be sent to Hell. Kanye is implying that his presence in the game brings Hell to other rappers.

   Kanye West is a very religious man. He believes in the Christian God. He has songs such as "New God Flow" and "Jesus Walks" preaching his belief in God. So Kanye West is not a Devil Worshiper and niether is the song.

   This song is about Kanye always playing pokemon with his brother, and about how he would never have achieved success if he had stopped before the 2nd gym. The weeping is from people who quit before the 2nd gym. The wailing and gnashing is from the pokemons, doing battle.
   
   At the end he's saying that if you're playing pokemon with your brother you should continue, and not stall like a little bitch.

   Honestly, this song is terrifying and I had to turn it off half way through. ITS ABSOLUTELY SATANIC MUSIC AND YES, THOSE RAPPERS IN THE VIDEO HAVE CHOSEN THE GLORY OF THIS LIFE, THIS WORLD INSTEAD OF LIFE EVERLASTING WITH JESUS. PLEASE CHOSE JESUS GUYS, HE HAS WAY MORE TO OFFER! THE WHOLE WEEPING AND MOANONG AND NASHING OF TEETH THING IS STRAIGHT OUT OF THE BIBLE AND IT IS DESCIBING THE LIFE TO COME IF YOU SO CHOOSE THIS LIFE AND THIS WORLD OVER JESUS. ITS SCARRY BECAUSE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE RAPPERS IS HELL BOUND BECAUSE THEY CHOSR THE DEVIL OVER GOD!!! DUDE, THIS SONG IS REALLY VERY TERRIFYING AND SAD BECAUSE IT TALKS ABOUT A REAL REALITY AND A REAL PLACE CALLED HELL. AND IF YOU DONT ACCEPT JESUS AND ASK HIM TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE THEN SADLY YOU ARE HEADED THERE. PEACE AND LOVE TO ALL YALL

   This song was written to El Chapo he got tired of mexican corridos and asked Kanye to write him a song. If you pay attention to the lyrics you will see how everything matches.

    In regards to the bridge, there are really only 2 ways to look at it.
    The "weeping and gnashing of teeth" is a biblical passage. Either Kanye is praising God by saying that his music is music for the "champion" (God).
    Oooooor the exact opposite, since it says "my sound which is the champion sound...Believe!...".
    In my opinion, he only includes these lyrics to confuse people and draw more attention to his music.
    
    
    ......then theres always "illuminati"

    Weaping and mourning and a gnashing of teeth: pour souls of the innocent in hell being tortured by the demons.
    When it comes to my sound which "is the champion" sound: suggests that the devil is the champion and you should listen and believe in his teachings.
    
    This song is DEVIL WORSHIPING!!! Illuminaties need to stay in their place and learn that God is our savior and the REAL champion!
