Şarkı Sözleri

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, whats wrong with the kids today?
Tell you right 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.
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?
Eastside meets Westside downtown.
No time, no line, the walls fall down.
Cant you feel it coming? EMPIRE
Cant you hear it coming? EMPIRE
Cant someone here stop it...?
