Last day of the rest of my life
I wish I would have known cause i'd have kissed my mama goobye.
I didn't tell her that I loved her and how much care
Or thank my pops for all the talks and all the wisdom he shared.
Unaware I just did what I always do.
Every day the same routine, before I skate off to school
but who knew that this day wasnt like the rest.
Instead of takin the test, I took two to the chest.
Call me blind but I didn't see it coming
Everybody was runnin but I couldn't hear nothing
Except gun blasts, it happened so fast
I don't really know this kid even though I sit by him in class.
Maybe this kid was reaching out for love or maybe
for a moment he forgot who he was
or maybe this kid just wanted to be hugged,
whatever it was I know its because

We are, We are, (we are) the youth of the nation
(x4)

Little Suzzy she was only twelve
She was given the world, with every chance to excel
Hang with the boys and hear the stories they tell
She might act kinda proud but no respect for herself
She finds love in all the wrong places the same situations but different faces.
Changed up her pace since her daddy left her too bad he never told her,
she deserved much better.
Johnny boy always played the fool,
He broke all the rules so you would think he was cool.
He was never really one of the guys
No matter how hard he tried
Often thought of suicide.
It's kinda hard when you ain't got no friends
He put his life to an end, they might remember him then.
You cross the line and there is no turning back
Told the world how he felt, with the sound of a gat.

We are, We are, (we are) the youth of the nation
(x4)

Whos to blame for the life that tragedies claim
No matter what you say, it won't take away the pain
That I feel inside, I'm tired of all the lies
Don't nobody know why, it's the blind leadin the blind.
Guess that's the way that the story goes
Will it ever make sense ,somebody's got to know
There's got to be more to life than this
There's got to be more to everything
I thought exists

We are, We are, the youth of the nation
