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, 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 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 [bad word] 
Everybody [bad word]  but I couldn't hear nothing 
Except gun blasts, it happened so fast 
I didn'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

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 [bad word] 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, {we are} the Youth of the Nation 
We are, We are, {we are} Youth of the Nation 
We are, We are, {we are} the Youth of the Nation 
We are, 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, the Youth of the Nation 
We are, We are, Youth of the Nation 
We are, We are, {we are, we are} the Youth of the Nation 
We are, We are, {we are, we are} Youth of the Nation 
We are, We are, {we are, we are} the Youth of the Nation {the Youth of the Nation} 
We are, We are, {we are, we are} Youth of the Nation {Youth of the Nation} 
We are, We are, {we are, we are} the Youth of the Nation {the Youth of the Nation} 
We are, We are, {we are, we are} Youth of the Nation {Youth of the Nation} 
We are, the Youth of the Nation 
We are, Youth of the Nation 
We are, the Youth of the Nation
