Empire |
Last night the word came down, ten dead in Chinatown |
Innocent, their only crime was being in the wrong place at the wrong time |
Too bad, people say, what’s wrong with the kids today? |
Tell you right now they’ve got nothing to lose |
They’re building EMPIRE! |
Johnny used to work after school at the cinema show |
Gotta hustle if he wants an education |
He’s got a long way to go |
Now he’s 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 |
Eastside meets Westside downtown |
No time the walls fall down |
Can’t you feel it coming? |
EMPIRE! |
Can’t 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 we’ll put it up again |
Another EMPIRE? |
Eastside meets Westside downtown |
No time, no line, the walls fall down |
Can’t you feel it coming? |
EMPIRE! |
Can’t you hear it coming? |
EMPIRE! |
Can’t someone here stop it??? |
