         Dm
This is war with no weapons,
 Bb
Marchin with no steppin,
 F
Murder with no killin,
A
Ill in every direction.
 Dm                       
First, no sequel, 
        Bb
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,

                        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               D  F
In the wastelands of today,

Dm                  Bb
 Roll credits, forget it, the show's done,
         F
They're talking for just talkin,
 A
Meaning they got none,
 Dm
None of you come proper,
      Bb
They talk like a shotgun,
     F                               A
But how many of you got bred with integrity, not one,

    Dm                            F
So no, I'm not afraid to see you suckas hold a blade to me,
G                                  Dm
Aint no way to shake the ground I built before you came to be,
 Dm                              F
Take it how you take it, I'm the opposite of vacancy,
      G                   Dm
And this not negotiation, I can hear you,
Wait and see...
