Last day of the rest of my life |
| [00:33.000] |
I wish I would've known |
| [00:34.000] |
'Cause I didn't kiss my mama goodbye |
| [00:36.000] |
I didn't tell her that I loved her and how much I care |
| [00:38.200] |
Or thank my pops for all the talks and all the wisdom he shared |
| [00:41.000] |
Unaware, I just did what I always do |
| [00:43.000] |
Everyday, the same routine before I skate off to school |
| [00:46.000] |
But who knew that this day wasn't like the rest |
| [00:48.000] |
Instead of taking a test, I took two to the chest |
| [00:51.000] |
Call me blind, but I didn't see it coming |
| [00:53.000] |
Everybody was running but I couldn't hear nothing |
| [00:55.000] |
Except gun blasts, it happened so fast |
| [00:57.490] |
I don't really know this kid even though I sit by him in class |
| [01:01.000] |
Maybe this kid was reaching out for love |
| [01:03.300] |
Or maybe for a moment he forgot who he was |
| [01:06.000] |
Or maybe this kid just wanted to be hugged |
| [01:08.000] |
Whatever it was, I know it's because |
| [01:10.000] |
We are, we are the youth of the nation |
| [01:16.000] |
We are, we are the youth of the nation |
| [01:20.000] |
We are, we are the youth of the nation |
| [01:25.000] |
We are, we are the youth of the nation |
| [01:30.000] |
Little Suzy, she was only twelve |
| [01:32.500] |
She was given the world with every chance to excel |
| [01:35.000] |
Hang with the boys and hear the stories they tell |
| [01:37.000] |
She might act kind of proud but no respect for herself |
| [01:39.500] |
She finds love in all the wrong places |
| [01:42.500] |
The same situations, just different faces |
| [01:45.000] |
Changed up her pace since her daddy left her |
| [01:47.200] |
Too bad he never told her, she deserved much better |
| [01:50.000] |
Johnny boy always played the fool |
| [01:52.000] |
He broke all the rules so you would think he was cool |
| [01:55.000] |
He was never really one of the guys |
| [01:56.500] |
No matter how hard he tried often thought of suicide |
| [01:59.000] |
It's kind of hard when you ain't got no friends |
| [02:01.000] |
He put his life to an end, they might remember him then |
| [02:04.000] |
You cross the line and there's no turning back |
| [02:07.000] |
Told the world how he felt with the sound of a gat |
| [02:09.000] |
We are, we are the youth of the nation |
| [02:14.000] |
We are, we are the youth of the nation |
| [02:20.000] |
We are, we are the youth of the nation |
| [02:24.000] |
We are, we are the youth of the nation |
| [02:48.000] |
Who's to blame for the lives that tragedies claim |
| [02:51.000] |
No matter what you say it don't take away the pain |
| [02:53.000] |
That I feel inside, I'm tired of all the lies |
| [02:56.000] |
Don't nobody know why it's the blind leading the blind |
| [02:58.000] |
Guess that's the way the story goes |
| [03:00.000] |
Will it ever make sense, somebody's got to know |
| [03:04.000] |
There's got to be more to life than this |
| [03:05.700] |
There's got to be more to everything I thought exists |
| [03:08.000] |
We are, we are the youth of the nation |
| [03:13.500] |
We are, we are the youth of the nation |
| [03:19.000] |
We are, we are the youth of the nation |
| [03:19.000] |
We are, we are the youth of the nation |
| [03:23.000] |
We are, we are the youth of the nation |
| [03:28.000] |
We are, we are the youth of the nation |
| [03:33.000] |
We are, we are the youth of the nation |
| [03:38.000] |
We are, we are the youth of the nation |
| [03:43.000] |
We are, we are the youth of the nation |
| [03:48.000] |
The youth of the nation |
| [03:51.000] |
The youth of the nation |
| [03:56.000] |
The youth of the nation |
