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. hold 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...??!!
