This is war with no weapons Marchin with no steppin' Murder with no killin' Illin' every direction First, no sequel Do the math, no equal John with no Yoko More power, less people And, no, I'm not afraid of that Print it in your paperback Every rap made in fact to act as a delayed attack Every phrase a razorblade That's saved till they play it back To slay'em and leave'em on the pavement Bang Fade to black In the wastelands of today Where there's nothing left to lose And and there's nothing more to take But you force yourself to choose In the wastelands of today Where tomorrow disappears While the future slips away And your hope turns into fear In the wastelands of today Roll credits, you get it The show's done They're talking for just talkin' But meaning they got none None of you come proper They talk like a shotgun But how many of you got bred with integrity Not one So, no I'm not afraid to see you suckas hold a blade to me Ain't no way to shake the ground I built before you came to be Take it how you take it I'm the opposite of vacancy And this is not negotiation Y'all can hate and wait and see In the wastelands of today Where there's nothing left to lose And and there's nothing more to take But you force yourself to choose In the wastelands of today Where tomorrow disappears While the future slips away And your hope turns into fear And your hope turns into fear In the wastelands of today In the wastelands of today Where there's nothing left to lose And and there's nothing more to take But you force yourself to choose In the wastelands of today Where tomorrow disappears While the future slips away And your hope turns into fear And your hope turns into fear In the wastelands of today In the wastelands of today In the wastelands of today
