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 Iâ??m not afraid of that, print in your paperback

Every rapperâ??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 thereâ??s nothing left to lose
And thereâ??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 showâ??s done,
Theyâ??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, Iâ??m not afraid to see you suckas hold a blade to me,

Ainâ??t no way to shake the ground I built before you came to be,
Take it how you take it, Iâ??m the opposite of vacancy,
And this not negotiation, I can hear you, wait and see!

In the wastelands of today,
When thereâ??s nothing left to lose,
And and thereâ??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 thereâ??s nothing left to lose

And and thereâ??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
