Lupe Fiasco wrote a touching song that imagines what the life of Jonylah Watkins could have been if she hadn't been shot five times on Monday. The 6-month-old baby died on Tuesday morning. From the first steps Jonylah didn't take, to an imagined meeting with slain 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton, Lupe Fiasco pens a powerful picture.

Before he posted the song, Lupe Fiasco tweeted an image featuring the lyrics.
