A5     C5 G5
 
 
[Verse 1]
A5
Last night the word came down
                 G5
Ten dead in Chinatown
A5
Innocent, their only crime was
G5                        F5
Being in the wrong place, at the wrong time
A5
Too bad, people say
A5
What's wrong with the kids today
A5
I tell you right now, they've got nothing to lose
G5               F5    A5
They're building empire
 
 
[Verse 2]
A5
Johnny used to work after school
                  G5
At the cinema show
A5
Gotta hustle if he wants an education
G5              F5
Yeah he's got a long way to go
A5
Now he's out on the streets all day
                                   G5
Selling Crack to the people who pay
       A5
Got an AK-47 for his best friend
G5           F5
Business the American way
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
D5                            C5
East side meets West side downtown
   D5                   G5
No time, the walls fall down
 
 
[Chorus]
A5        F5      A5
Can't you feel it coming? (Empire)
          F5      A5     D5   A5
Can't you hear it calling?
 
 
[Verse 3]
A5
Black man, trapped again
                           G5
Holds his chain in his hand
A5
Brother killing brother for the profit of another
G5          F5
Game point, nobody wins
A5
Declines, right on time
                              G5
What happened to the dream sublime?
A5                                     G5
Tear it all down, we'll put it up again
        F5
Another empire
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
D5                            C5
East side meets West side downtown
   D5                   G5
No time, the walls fall down
 
 
[Chorus]
A5        F5      A5
Can't you feel it coming? (Empire)
          F5      A5
Can't you hear it calling? (Empire)
              F5   A5      F5  C5 G5  C5  D5
Can't someone here stop it?

Dm                Bb        Dm                       F
In fiscal year 1986 to '87, local, state and federal governments spent 
                 Dm      G                  C               Dm
A combined total of 16.6 billion dollars on law enforcement. 
                        Bb                          Dm
Federal law enforcement expenditures ranked last in absolute dollars and 
              F          Dm                   G  C  F
Accounted for only 6% of all federal spending. 
Dm                    Bb                           Dm
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
