The thing that on your view that is inherent in mass and brings it to the ground? That's a force, nothing spooky there. This force, lets call it weight, follows a predictable law that was discovered by a scientist, lets call him Sceptimatic senior, hundreds of years ago. Some people like to call this gravity, some like to call it weight. That is semantics really because it behaves exactly the same no matter what you call it.
How this force arises is unclear at this point. You say it is inherent in mass, many disagree, but there is no conclusive evidence for how it arises yet.
