Empire
Last night the word came down
Ten dead in chinatown
Innocent, theyre only crime was
Being in the wrong place at the wrong time
Too bad, people say, whats wrong with the kids today?
Tell you uright now theyve got nothing to lose
Theyre building empire!
Johnny used to work after school
At the cinema show
Gotta hustle if he wants an education, hes got a long way to go
Now hes out on the street all day
Selling crack to the people who pay
Got an ak-47 for his best friend, business the american way
Chorus
Eastside meets westside downtown
No time the walls fall down
Cant you feel it coming? empire!
Cant you hear it calling?
Black man trapped again, holds his chains in his hand
Brother killing brother for the profit of another
Game point, nobody wins
Decline, right on time
What happened to the dream sublime?
Tear it all down well put it up again
Another empire?
Chorus
Cant someone here stop it...?
