Lyrics: 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 cared 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 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 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 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 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 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 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
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
The youth of the nation We are youth of the nation We are youth of the nation We are youth of the nation We are
