Wastelands lyrics

This is war with no weapons, marching with no stepping

Murder with no killing, 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 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 laying 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's done,

They're talking 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 these 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 (x2)

In the wastelands of today

In the wastelands of today
