Barack Obama - #PRAYforBOSTON lyrics

[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 [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 2: b-Rabbit] 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!
