[Hook: President Obama]
Obviously our first thoughts this morning are with the victims, their families, and the city of Boston
We know that two explosions gravely wounded dozens of Americans, and took the lives of others, including a 8-year-old boy
We also know this -- the American people refuse to be terrorized
Because what the world saw yesterday in the aftermath of the explosions were stories of heroism and kindness, and generosity and love
[Verse 1: b-Rabbit]
Growing up I never was concerned with my safety
The United States, I thought I could always play safely
Our military fought to give me my freedom, my liberty
But something changed, 9/11 don't really remember
That cold and dismal New York morning in September
I grew older, simultaneously grew colder gave up on my country, wasn't worth the effort
Hated on and dissed every single soldier who hold the weight of the world on their shoulders
I was convinced America was the enemy that was until I lived through a national tragedy
Two bombs in Boston shake up my whole entire thinking
My hatred is shrinking, my fear is building
Two bombs in Boston made me question if the city was actually safe
The risk was just as real as any Middle Eastern or communist country
Two bombs in Boston and I saw the fear in people's eyes, I can't lie, I silently cried
I don't believe in the church but yes, that night I prayed for Boston
Prayed for the families and victims who were lost in
The tragic wrongdoings of two men who, for reasons unknown, stole our peace of mind
But in this time of suffering the American people will rise up combined

How in the world is this fair?
Thousands of people enjoying an American tradition suddenly put in harm's way because two men didn't care
Citizens wounded, some of them died, including the innocent mind of an 8-year old boy
Years of life ahead cut down in his prime
It's high time we forever stop terrorist crimes, world beware
You don't mess with America and the US of A
To quote Toby Keith, we'll put a boot in your A
Bostonians, you're forever in our prayers
We'll stand together, open arms, open hearts
We're all in this together, none of us will depart
I can only imagine the kind of pain you're going through
Every single verse has been about my Trials & Tribulations
But after watching a manhunt on tv, I can see that many people have it worse
Yeah, I'm lucky I'm not in a hearse
And thank God for the Boston police force
And of course the state of Ma**achusetts and FBI for neutralizing two terrorists in our midst
We will not be terrorized, we stand with the city
We pray for Boston
[Outro:]
USA!
USA!
USA!
USA!
