This is war with no weapons, marching with no stepping
Murder with no killing, illing every direction
First, no sequel, do the math, no equal
John with no Yoko; more power, less people
And no, Im not afraid of that, print it in your paperback
Every rap is made in fact to act as a delayed attack
Every phrase a razor blade thats saved until they play it back
To slay and leave em laying on the pavement, bang, fade to black
In the wastelands of today
When theres nothing left to lose
And theres 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 is done
Theyre talking for just talking, but meaning, they got none
None of em come proper, they talk like a shotgun
But how many got bred with integrity? Not one
So no, Im not afraid to see you suckers hold a blade to me
Aint no way to shake the ground I built before you came to be
Take it how you take it, Im the opposite of vacancy
And this is not negotiation, yall can hate and wait and see
In the wastelands of today
When theres nothing left to lose
And theres 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
When theres nothing left to lose
And theres 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
