         Dm
This is war with no weapons,
 A#
Marchin with no steppin,
 F
Murder with no killin,
A
Ill in every direction.
 Dm
First, no sequel,
        A#
Do the math, no equal
   F
a John with no Yoko,
      A
More power, less people,

     Dm
And no I'm not afraid of that,
  F
Print it in your paperback,
G
Every rapper's made in fact,
   Dm
To act as a delayed attack,
Dm
Every phrase a razorblade,
     F
And save it till they play it back,
  G                            Dm
Slay em leave em layin on the paper bank,
fade to black,

Chorus:
                        Dm
In the wastelands of today,
                              F
When there's nothing left to lose,
                             C
And there's nothing more to take,
                            Gm
But you force yourself to choose,
        F               Dm
In the wastelands of today,
                    F
When tomorrow disappears,
                        C
When the future slips away,
                          Gm
And your hope turns into fear,
        A               Dm  F
In the wastelands of today,

Dm
Roll credits, forget it, the show's done,
         C
They're talking for just talkin,
Meaning they got none,
 Dm
None of you come proper,
They talk like a shotgun,
     C
But how many of you got bred with integrity,
not one,
   Gm
So no, I'm not afraid
to see you suckas hold a blade to me,
Dm
Aint no way to shake the ground
I built before you came to be,
A#
Take it how you take it,
I'm the opposite of vacancy,
             Dm
And this not negotiation, I can hear you,
Wait and see...

Chorus:
                        Dm
In the wastelands of today,
                              F
When there's nothing left to lose,
                             C
And there's nothing more to take,
                            Gm
But you force yourself to choose,
        F               Dm
In the wastelands of today,
                    F
When tomorrow disappears,
                        C
When the future slips away,
                          Gm
And your hope turns into fear,
                          Gm
And your hope turns into fear,
        A               E
In the wastelands of today!

        Am              A#
In the wastelands of today,
                              F
When there's nothing left to lose,
                                 A#
And and there's nothing more to take,
                            F
But you force yourself to choose,
        Am              A#
In the wastelands of today,
                    F
When tomorrow disappears
                        A#
When the future slips away,
                          F
And your hope turns into fear,
                          A
And your hope turns into fear,
                        Dm F Dm
In the wastelands of today!
        F               Dm F Dm
In the wastelands of today!
        F               Dm
