saved,
Saturday at 9:24 p.m.
sorry,
I'm
just..... its 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?
Tell you right now they've got nothing to lose.
They're building
EMPIRE!
Johnny used to work after school
at the cinema sho.
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 is all down we'll oput 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... ?
In
the fiscal year 1986 to 87
local state and federal governments
spent up to a combined
total 15.6 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,
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 coming?
EMPIRE!
Can't you feel it coming? EMPIRE!
Can't you hear it coming? EMPIRE!
Can't
you feel it coming? EMPIRE!
Can't you hear it coming? EMPIRE!
Can't you feel it coming?
EMPIRE!
Can someone hear us coming? EMPIRE | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
