📜 Lyrics
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 chain 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?!
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 chain 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?!
