[00:23.290]This is war with no weapons,
[00:25.140]Marching with no stepping,
[00:26.440]Murder with no killing,
[00:27.850]illing every direction.
[00:29.350]First, no sequel, do the math
[00:31.250]No equal
[00:32.070]A John with no Yoko
[00:33.190]More power, less people
[00:34.840]And know I'm not afraid of that
[00:36.590]Print in your paperback
[00:37.920]Every rap is made in fact
[00:39.400]To act as a delayed attack
[00:40.820]Every phrase a razor blade
[00:41.960]And save it till they play it back
[00:43.600]Slay 'em leave 'em
[00:44.330]laying on the pavement
[00:45.090]Bang
[00:45.580]Fade to black
[00:47.360]In the wastelands of today,
[00:50.100]When there's nothing left to lose,
[00:52.990]And and there's nothing more to take,
[00:55.780]But you force yourself to choose,
[00:58.480]In the wastelands of today,
[01:01.370]When tomorrow disappears
[01:04.230]When the future slips away,
[01:07.040]And your hope turns into fear,
[01:09.800]In the wastelands of today
[01:17.770]Roll credits, to get it,
[01:19.040]The show's done,
[01:19.820]They're talking for just talking,
[01:21.400]Meaning they got none,
[01:22.910]None of you come proper,
[01:24.110]They talk like a shotgun,
[01:25.630]But how many of you
[01:26.500]got bred with integrity,
[01:27.670]Not one
[01:28.260]So no, I'm not afraid to see you
[01:30.180]suckers hold a blade to me,
[01:31.450]Ain't no way to shake the ground
[01:32.870]I built before you came to be,
[01:34.180]Take it how you take it,
[01:35.450]I'm the opposite of vacancy,
[01:37.150]And this is not negotiation
[01:38.550]Y'all can hate and wait and see
[01:41.010]In the wastelands of today,
[01:43.710]When there's nothing left to lose,
[01:46.570]And there's nothing more to take,
[01:49.350]But you force yourself to choose,
[01:52.280]In the wastelands of today,
[01:54.990]When tomorrow disappears
[01:57.820]When the future slips away,
[02:00.560]And your hope turns into fear,
[02:03.430]And your hope turns into fear,
[02:06.440]In the wastelands of today!
[02:28.860]In the wastelands of today,
[02:31.730]When there's nothing left to lose,
[02:34.580]And there's nothing more to take,
[02:37.280]But you force yourself to choose,
[02:40.200]In the wastelands of today,
[02:42.980]When tomorrow disappears
[02:45.800]When the future slips away,
[02:48.610]And your hope turns into fear,
[02:51.440]And your hope turns into fear,
[02:54.310]In the wastelands of today!
[03:00.160]In the wastelands of today!
[03:05.700]In the wastelands of today!
