0:32Last day of the rest of my life
0:34I wish I would've known
0:35Cause I didn't kiss my mama goodbye
0:37I didn't tell her that I loved her,
0:38How much I cared
0:39Or thank my pops for all the talks
0:40And all the wisdom he shared
0:41Unaware, I just did what I always do
0:44Everyday, the same routine
0:45Before I skate off to school
0:46But who knew that this day wasn't like the rest
0:49Instead of taking a test
0:50I took two to the chest
0:52Call me blind, but I didn't see it coming
0:54Everybody was running
0:55But I couldn't hear nothing
0:56Except gun blasts, it happened so fast
0:58I don't really know this kid
1:00Even though I sit by him in class
1:01Maybe this kid was reaching out for love
1:04Or maybe for a moment
1:05He forgot who he was
1:06Or maybe this kid just wanted to be hugged
1:09Whatever it was
1:10I know it's because
1:12We are, We are, (We are)
1:15The youth of the nation
1:16We are, We are, (We are)
1:20Youth of the nation
1:21We are, We are, (We are)
1:25The youth of the nation
1:26We are, We are, (We are)
1:30Youth of the nation
1:31Little Suzy, she was only twelve
1:33She was given the world
1:34With every chance to excel
1:36Hang with the boys and hear
1:37The stories they tell
1:38She might act kind of proud
1:39But no respect for herself
1:41She finds love in all the wrong places
1:43The same situations
1:44Just different faces
1:46Changed up her pace since
1:47Her daddy left her
1:48Too bad he never told her
1:49She deserved much better
1:51Johnny boy always played the fool
1:53He broke all the rules
1:54So you would think he was cool
1:56He was never really one of the guys
1:57No matter how hard he tried
1:59Often thought of suicide
2:00It's kind of hard when you
2:01Ain't got no friends
2:02He put his life to an end
2:03They might remember him then
2:05You cross a line and
2:06There is no turnin' back
2:07He told the world how he
2:08Felt with the sound of a gat
2:11We are we are
2:12(We are)
2:14The youth of the nation
2:15We are we are
2:17(We are)
2:19Youth of the nation
2:20We are we are
2:22(We are)
2:23The youth of the nation
2:25We are we are
2:27(We are)
2:29Youth of the nation
2:50Who's to blame for
2:50The life that tragedies claim?
2:51No matter what you
2:52Say it won't take away the pain
2:54That I feel inside I'm tired of all the lies
2:56Don't nobody know
2:57Why it's the blind leadin' the blind?
2:59Guess that's the way that the story goes
3:01Will it ever make sense
3:02Somebody's gotta know
3:04There's gotta be more to life than this
3:06There's got to be more to
3:07Everythin' I thought exists
3:09We are we are
3:13The youth of the nation
3:14We are we are
3:18Youth of the nation
3:19We are we are
3:20(We are we are)
3:22The youth of the nation
3:24We are we are
3:25(We are we are)
3:27Youth of the nation
3:29We are we are
3:30(We are we are)
3:32Youth of the nation
3:34We are we are
3:35(We are we are)
3:37Youth of the nation
3:38We are we are
3:40(We are we are)
3:42Youth of the nation
3:44We are we are
3:45(We are we are)
3:47Youth of the nation
3:48Youth of the nation
3:50We are
3:52Youth of the nation
3:55We are
3:57Youth of the nation
4:00We are
4:02Youth of the nation
4:05We are
