#SayHerName was the hashtag shaking up twitter starting in 2015,Hindi Archives 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.
SEE ALSO: Colin Kaepernick's protest is the latest from athletes in the era of Black Lives Matter"My heart cries out," sings Jussee Smolett as the piano swells in the background, "for Orlando, Philando, Alton, Sandra, Mike Brown, Garner, Trayvon – why? Too many people gone too soon."
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.

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.
