Sorry, I'm just..... it's starting to hit me like a ummmm, ummmm... a 2 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!

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 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 the fiscal year 1986 to 87. Local state and federal governments
Spent up to a combined total of 60.6 million dollars on law enforcement.
Federal law enforcement expenditures ranked last in absolute dollars,
And accounted for only 6% 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 on 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 someone hear us coming? EMPIRE!
