Sorry I'm just
It's starting to hit me like a
Um um two ton heavy thing
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
I tell you right now
They've got nothing to lose
They're building empire
Empire
Empire
Empire
Johnny used to work after school
At the cinema show
Gotta hustle if he wants an education
Yeah he's got a long way to go
Now he's out on the streets all day
Selling crack to the people who pay
Got an AK-47 for his best friend
Business the American way
East side meets West side downtown
No time the walls fall down
Can't you feel it coming empire
Can't you hear it calling
Black man
Black man
Black man
Black man
Black man
Trapped again
Holds his chain in his hand
Brother killing brother for
The profit of another
Game point nobody wins
Declines right on time
What happened to the dream sublime
Tear it all down we'll put it up again
Another empire
East side meets West side downtown
No time the walls fall down
Can't you feel it coming empire
Can't you hear it calling empire
Can't someone here stop it
In fiscal year 196 to 87
Local state and federal
Governments spent a combined
Total of 166 billion dollars
On law enforcement
Federal law enforcement expenditures
Ranked last in absolute dollars
And accounted for only 6 percent
Of all federal spending
By way of comparison the federal
Government spent 24 million
More on space exploration
And 43 times more on national
Defense and international relations
Than law enforcement
Can't you feel it coming empire
Can't you hear it calling empire
Can't you feel it coming empire
Can't you hear it calling empire
Can't you feel it coming empire
Can't you hear it calling empire
Can't you feel it coming empire
Can't someone here stop it
Empire
