Last day of
the rest of my life
I wish
I would've known
'Cause I didn't kiss
my mama goodbye
I didn't tell her
that I loved her
And how much I care
or thank my pops
For all the talks
and all the wisdom
He shared unaware
I just did what
I always do everyday
the same routine
Before I skate off
the school
But who knew that
this day wasn't like
The rest instead
of taking a test
I took two
to the chest
Call me blind but
I didn't see it coming
Everybody was running
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 forget who he was
Or maybe this kid
just wanna
To be hugged
whatever it was
I know it's because
we are we are
The youth
of the nation
We are we are
youth of the nation
We are we are the
youth of the nation
We are we are
youth of the nation
Little suzy
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 kind of proud
But no respect
for herself
She finds love in
all the wrong places
The same situations
just 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 kind of 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's
No turning back
told the world
How he felt with
the sound of a gat
We are we are the
youth of the nation
We are we are
youth of the nation
We are we are the
youth of the nation
We are we are
youth of the nation~
Who's to blame
for the lives
That tragedies claim
no matter what you say
It don'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
Leading the blind
I 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
we are we are
We are we are the
youth of the nation
we are we are
youth of the nation
We are we are
the youth
Of the nation
we are we are
Youth of the nation
youth of the nation
Youth of the nation
youth of the nation~
