Empire

[Intro]
A5

[Verse 1]
A5
  Last night the word came down,
                 G5  C5
ten dead in Chinatown
A5                               G5
  Innocent, their only crime was being in the wrong place,
F5
  at the wrong time
A5
  Too bad,
                                        G5 C5
people say what's wrong with the kids today
A5
  Tell you right now they've got nothing to lose
G5                 F5
  They're building empire
A5
  Johnny used to work after school
                  G5 C5
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 street all day
                                   G5
Selling crack to the people who pay
C5
Got an AKForty Seven for his best friend
G5            F5
Business the American way

[Chorus]
A5
Can't you feel it coming?
A5                        D5
Can't you hear it calling?
                           C5     A5
Black man, black man, black  man, black man,
black man trapp'd again

[Verse 2]
                          G5 C5
Hold his chain in his hand
A5
Brother killing brother for the profit of another,
G5            F5
  Game point, nobody wins
A5
  Decline, right on time
                              G5   C5
What happened to the dream sublime?
A5
Tear it all down, we'll put up again
G5        F5
  Another empire?

[Chorus]
A5
Can't you feel it coming?
A5
Can't you hear it calling?

Can't someone here stop it?
