Wasteland (feat. Brionne Aigné)

What if? Just, what if... this is justice

Hmmm, hmmm, yeah. Hey
Been prayin' for this wasteland, been prayin' for this wasteland, oh oh. Ohhhh
We need to begin again. I've been prayin' for this wasteland, cause we need to begin again. Here's a message for my seed

I asked for healing - He gave us sickness
I asked for wealth - He took all my greed
I asked for more - He gave me nothing less,- now I feel like He gave us exactly what we need
Prayin' for peace - why need a war chest
Pray for the poor - then give it all away
Wanna pray for the world,- then you've gotta confess
They can have it tomorrow as long as we're today
Say you want to build a wall,- but steady shoutin' Jericho
I don't really think you understand, how it goes when you reap what you sow
If eternity's so close - then what's it really matter,- when the world goes - broke, and stock market shatter, we all - gone - ghost, so let's get active
Beautiful irony, mercifully tragic

This is a message to my seed,- and those coming after me - cause I want them to know
In case it all repeats,- it's exactly what we need - oh oh oh
Everything high fall low, it ain't right no more. No
Been praying for this wasteland,- cause we need to begin again

Speak to the wind - speak to waves - speak to the grave
Speak to the man - I am not your slave
It's been a hella long night for too many days
If you want real change - well this the only way
Bullets have intention and there are never strays
Oppression has invention and crime hella pays
They forgot to mention it's not just a phrase
There's a gameplan,- decks stacked and everybody plays
Yeah, everybody prays when the lama sprays
When they glove and mask up, and snatch supply chains
Were you ever really safe in the first place when you can't see it coming and gone without a trace
Black smoke - blue flames, tell me where you gone escape
This thing long-range,- and we in His beam
So let the Spirit slay and shock the system
Infinite wisdom, ancient of days

This is a message to my seed,- and those coming after me - cause I want them to know
In case it all repeats,- it's exactly what we need - oh oh oh
Everything high fall low, it ain't right no more. No
Been praying for this wasteland,- cause we need to begin again

Speak into them bones - live again
Beat into your heart - breathe again
People rise up - we can win
Dream again
It's not the end
Speak into them bones - live again
Beat into your heart - breathe again
People rise up - we can win
Dream again
It's not the end
Speak into them bones - live again
Beat into your heart - breathe again
People rise up - we can win
Dream again
It's not the end

This is a message to my seed,- and those coming after me - cause I want them to know
In case it all repeats,- it's exactly what we need - oh oh oh
Everything high fall low, it ain't right no more. No
Been praying for this wasteland,- cause we need to begin again
