Wastelands This is war with no weapons, marching with no stepping Murder with no killing, ill in every direction First, no sequel, do the math, no equal A John with no Yoko More power, less people And yeah I'm not afraid of that, print in your paperback Every rapper's made in fact, to act as a delayed attack Every phrase a razor blade, and save it till they play it back Slay em leave em laying on the paper bank, fade to black In the wastelands of today, When there's nothing left to lose And there's nothing more to take But you force yourself to choose In the wastelands of today When tomorrow disappears When the future slips away And your world turns into fear In the wastelands of today Roll credits, forget it, the show's done, They're talking for just talkin, Meaning they got none None of you come proper, they talk like a shotgun But how many of you got bred with integrity, not once 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 not negotiation, I can hear you, wait and see! In the wastelands of today, When 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, When tomorrow disappears When the future slips away, And your world turns into fear, And your world turns into fear, In the wastelands of today! In the wastelands of today When 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 When tomorrow disappears When the future slips away And your world turns into fear And your world turns into fear In the wastelands of today In the wastelands of today In the wastelands of today
