[Chorus: Swizz Beatz]
Little boy got shot down today

I hope his family is okay

We hope the whole world be okay, okay
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay

[Verse 1: Swizz Beatz]
See the story from Houston
From a little boy that was goin to the store
For his mother for some groceries at store
He had his hoodie on, yea
He had his hoodie on
Mistaken identity for robbery and theft
Man they took that last boy breath
Man they took that last boy breath
The police not guilty, the police not guilty
Even was the wrong ID police still f*ckin not guilty
[Chorus: Swizz Beatz]
Little boy got shot down today
A little boy got shot down today
I hope his family is okay
I hope his family is okay
Is it our race that pay
Is it our race that pay
Is it our race that pay
Is it our race that pay
I hope the whole world be okay
I hope the world will be okay
Get on ya knees and pray
Get on ya knees and pray
We hope the whole world be okay, okay
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay

[Verse 2: Scarface]
Shot down for the dope and the dollar sign
I often sit and wonder could this world be mine, nah
I be lying if I said I ain't heard em
When they told me I was just a n*gga
Nothing but a burden to society
They call the Ku Klux to quiet me
Wonder why I'm stuck in here reacting to it violently
They hating on me silently, my skin my sin
That's why black man history's a one-month window
Staring out the back seat of my maybach benz though
Like that sh*t matter, while my homies and my kin folks suffer
Playin jealous hard motherf*ckers, wishin they could be you
Envious, see through
But I ain't scared of the boogey-man, f*ck em
If Trump want war I give to him, gon buck em
America with three K's
Freedom got a shotgun
For all the homies shot down by white boys
And not one convicted
Of wrong doing, is it justice we pursuing?
Freedom of death, beat em to death, f*ck em (f*ck em)
I will awake the sleeping giants, with one last word (Word)
One last nerve (Nerve), me and you are not equal (Uh-uh)
It's not about the flag, change the people
[Chorus: Swizz Beatz]
Little boy got shot down today
A little boy got shot down today
I hope his family is okay
I hope his family is okay
Is it our race that pay
Is it our race that pay
Is it our race that pay
Is it our race that pay
I hope the whole world be okay
I hope the world will be okay
Get on ya knees and pray
Get on ya knees and pray
We hope the whole world be okay, okay
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay

[Verse 3: Swizz Beatz]
Yea we gotta liven things up
Pray for all the lost ones, lost in the battle
Lost in the battle, all the parents thats lost in the battle
And the fight they can't battle
Ban all the bad judges, ban all the bad judges
That's not giving justice
Ban all the judges that's not giving justice
To the culture, to the culture
They culture vultures, yeah yeah
Ban all the, ban all corruption
Our culture so beautiful
We talk to the people
We walk together we some equals (yeah, yeah)
No big I's and no little you's
No big I's, no little you's
We all together this time
We shoot together this time
Stick together this time
Your color my color they color how I color
