#SayHerName was the hashtag shaking up twitter starting in 2015,Busty Cops (2004) Watch online a movement to begin restitution for victims of gun violence by the simple gesture of talking about them. In a new song from Empire's upcoming Season 3 premiere, Jamal Lyon will be doing just that and singing to spotlight the many lives lost to fatal shootings.

Tell me how this happenedWhere did we go wrong?...Gotta get this message out before I'm dead and gone.
The song feels right for Jamal, the most compassionate Lyon brother who took a bullet not meant for him this past season. But more than anything it feels right for Empire as a powerhouse drama that has always amplified the voices of artists of color and what matters most to them.
“I recorded this exactly seven days after Philando Castile was shot,” Smollett told Billboard, who premiered the song. “Between the shootings of Castile, Alton Sterling, at the Pulse in Orlando and the police officers in Dallas — not to mention the other numerous killings over the last couple of years — it was like we couldn’t breathe.”
The track continues to build in scale until the end, when a classic Empire R&B hook calls for action to stop the bloodshed.
The world is cryingNo more sirens for guns and violence
“We think it’s important to shed more light on social issues and want Empireto be a part of that," Columbia Records senior VP of A&R Shawn Holiday said in the same article.
That sounds like something the whole Lyon family can get behind.
