last day of the rest of my life |
| [00:34.26] |
i wish i would've known |
| [00:35.37] |
'cause i didn't kiss my mama goodbye |
| [00:36.99] |
i didn't tell her that i loved her and how much i care |
| [00:39.15] |
of thank my pops for all the talks |
| [00:40.66] |
and all the wisdom he shared |
| [00:41.87] |
unaware, i just did what i always do |
| [00:43.97] |
everyday, the same routine before i skate off to school |
| [00:46.50] |
but who knew that this day wasn't like the rest |
| [00:48.87] |
instead of taking a test |
| [00:50.17] |
i took two for the chest |
| [00:51.48] |
call me blind, but i didn't see it coming |
| [00:53.86] |
everybody was running |
| [00:55.12] |
but i couldn't hear nothing |
| [00:56.42] |
except gun blasts, it happened so fast |
| [00:58.79] |
i don't really know this kid |
| [01:00.14] |
even though i sit beside him in class |
| [01:01.67] |
maybe this kid was reaching out for love |
| [01:03.64] |
or maybe just for a moment |
| [01:05.18] |
he forgot who he was or maybe this kid just wanted to be hugged |
| [01:08.55] |
whatever it was |
| [01:09.92] |
i knew it's because |

chorus:we are, we are, the youth of the nation(*4) |

little suzy, she was only twleve |
| [01:32.95] |
she was given the world |
| [01:34.12] |
with every chance to excel |
| [01:35.54] |
hang out with the boys and hear the stories they tell |
| [01:37.76] |
she might act kind of proud |
| [01:39.16] |
but no respect for herself |
| [01:40.39] |
she finds love in all the wrong places |
| [01:42.74] |
the same situations |
| [01:44.06] |
just different faces |
| [01:45.50] |
changed up her pace since her daddy left her |
| [01:47.85] |
too bad he never told her |
| [01:48.96] |
she deserved much better |
| [01:50.36] |
johnny boy always played the fool |
| [01:52.36] |
he broke all the rules |
| [01:53.70] |
so you would think that he was cool |
| [01:55.16] |
he was never really one of the guys |
| [01:57.42] |
no matter how hard he tried |
| [01:58.60] |
often thought of suiside |
| [02:00.26] |
it's kind of hard when you ain't go no frieds |
| [02:02.28] |
he put his life to an end |
| [02:03.45] |
they might remember him then |
| [02:05.07] |
you cross the line and there's no turing back |
| [02:07.07] |
told the world how he felt |
| [02:08.46] |
with the sound of a gat |
| [02:09.86] |
chorus:we are, we are, the youth of the nation(*4) |
| [02:49.14] |
who's to blame for the lives tragedies claim |
| [02:51.21] |
no matter what you say |
| [02:52.23] |
it don't take away the pain |
| [02:53.60] |
that i feel inside, i'm tired of all the lies |
| [02:55.94] |
don't nobody know why |
| [02:57.12] |
it's the blind leading the blind |
| [02:59.00] |
i guess that's the way the story goes |
| [03:00.71] |
will it ever make sence |
| [03:02.09] |
somebody's got to know |
| [03:03.53] |
there's got to be more to life than this |
| [03:05.75] |
there's got to be more to everthing |
| [03:07.00] |
i thought exists |
| [03:08.78] |
