Wastelands

Ah, 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 is made in fact to act as a delayed attack

Every phrase a razor blade that's saved until they play it back

To slay and leave 'em layin' on the pavement, bang, 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 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

They're talkin' for just talkin', 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, I'm not afraid to see you suckers 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 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 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 there's nothing left to lose

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
