Wastelands

Uh, 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 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 laying on the pavement
 Bang, fade to black
 In the wastelands of today
 Where 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 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, I'm not afraid to see these suckers hold a blade to me
 Ain't a 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 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
