Last day of the rest of my life[00:00:42]
I wish I would've known[00:00:44]
'Cause I would've kissed my mama goodbye[00:00:45]
I didn't tell her that[00:00:46]
I loved her and how much I care[00:00:47]
Or thank my pops for all the talks[00:00:49]
And all the wisdom he shared[00:00:50]
Unaware I just did what I always do[00:00:51]
Everyday the same routine[00:00:54]
Before I skate off to school[00:00:55]
But who knew that this day wasn't like the rest[00:00:57]
Instead of taking a test[00:00:59]
I took two to the chest[00:01:00]
In call me blind but I didn't see it coming[00:01:02]
Everybody was running[00:01:05]
But I couldn't hear nothing[00:01:06]
Except gun blasts it happened so fast[00:01:07]
I didn't really know this kid[00:01:10]
He wasn't part of the class[00:01:11]
Maybe this kid was reaching out for love[00:01:13]
Or maybe for a moment[00:01:15]
He forgot who he was[00:01:16]
Or maybe this kid just wanted to be hugged[00:01:18]
Whatever it was[00:01:20]
I know it's because[00:01:21]
We are we are the youth of the nation[00:01:23]
We are we are the youth of the nation[00:01:29]
We are we are the youth of the nation[00:01:34]
We are we are the youth of the nation[00:01:39]
Little Suzy she was only twelve[00:01:44]
She was given the world[00:01:46]
With every chance to excel[00:01:47]
Hang with the boys and hear the stories they tell[00:01:49]
She might act kind of proud[00:01:51]
But no respect for herself[00:01:53]
She finds love in all the wrong places[00:01:54]
The same situations[00:01:57]
But different faces[00:01:58]
Changed up her pace since her daddy left her[00:02:00]
Too bad he never told her[00:02:02]
She deserved much better[00:02:03]
Johnny boy always played the fool[00:02:05]
He broke all the rules[00:02:07]
So you would think he was cool[00:02:08]
In he was never really one of the guys[00:02:10]
No matter how hard he tried[00:02:12]
Often thought of suicide[00:02:13]
It's kind of hard when you ain't got no friends[00:02:15]
He put his life to an end[00:02:17]
They might remember him then[00:02:18]
You 'cross the line and there's no turning back[00:02:20]
He told the world how he felt[00:02:22]
With the sound of a gat[00:02:24]
We are we are the youth of the nation[00:02:26]
We are we are the youth of the nation[00:02:31]
We are we are the youth of the nation[00:02:36]
We are we are the youth of the nation[00:02:41]
So who's to blame for the lives that tragedies claim[00:03:07]
No matter what you say[00:03:09]
It don't take away the pain[00:03:11]
That I feel inside I'm tired of all the lies[00:03:12]
Don't nobody know why[00:03:15]
It's the blind leading the blind[00:03:16]
Guess that's the way the story goes[00:03:18]
Will it ever make sense[00:03:20]
Somebody's got to know[00:03:21]
There's got to be more to life than this[00:03:23]
There's got to be more to everything[00:03:25]
I thought exists[00:03:26]
We are we are the youth of the nation[00:03:28]
We are we are the youth of the nation[00:03:33]
We are we are the youth of the nation[00:03:39]
We are we are the youth of the nation[00:03:44]
We are the youth of the nation[00:03:51]
We are the youth of the nation[00:03:56]
We are the youth of the nation[00:04:02]
We are[00:04:06]
