Empire (Letra)
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…??!!
Empire (Letra)
A duet with benjamin zephaniah
Done on bob the bass’ album "clear"
I’m looking at your soul, your soul, your soul, your soul
I’m looking at your future, your future, future, future
As i look into your eyes, these eyes, these eyes, these eyes
I see another side, side, side, side
Vampire, you’re feed on the life of a pure heart
Vampire you suck the life of goodness
Vampire, you’re feed on the life of a pure heart
Vampire you suck the life of goodness
Turn the lights on
Let the lights shine bright
Turn the lights on
Let the lights shine bright
You’ve got to feel yourself and let go
You got to know you reap what you sown
You’ve got to feel something at sometime
Check the writings on the wall
And look into the sight
You’re spending all your money on gare that never work
You’re wasting all your energy and everywhere it hurts
God it really hurts
Yes it really hurts
You got to know yourself
Vampire, you’re feed on the life of a pure heart
Vampire, you suck the life of goodness
Yes
Vampire, you’re feed on the life of a pure heart
Vampire you suck the life of goodness
From now on i’ll call you england
From now on i’ll call you england
From now on i’ll call you england
From now on i’ll call you england
See if you spit in the sky
It will fall in your eye
You see what goes up must come down
You will die looking up if you’re not looking in
You’ve got to know yourself
I’m looking at your partners and they would never agree
I’m looking for your justice and it can not be seen
I’m checking where you’re coming from and where you’re going to
I’m checking all off what you have done to see what you can do
I’m looking at your lawbooks and they were never read
I’m looking at your lovesquire and they can not be thread
I’m looking at your empire living on the drears
You’ve got to know yourself
Vampire, you’re feed on the life of a pure heart
Vampire, you suck the life of goodness
Yes
Vampire, you’re feed on the life of a pure heart
Vampire you suck the life of goodness
From now on i’ll call you england
Empire fall man, empire go
From now on i’ll call you england
There’s a lesson to be learned
Why is it that, you must know
From now on i’ll call you england
And the rich that you eat is more like food that you fear
From now on i’ll call you england
Gotta see no love anyway you appear
From now on i’ll call you england
You’ve got to know yourself
From now on i’ll call you england
You’ve got to know yourself

Last night the word came down
Ten dead in Chinatown
Innocent, they’re 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 uright now they’ve got nothing to lose
They’re building EMPIRE!
Johnny used to work after school

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
CHORUS
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?
CHORUS
Can’t someone here stop it…?
