Last day of the rest of my life
I wish I would have known cause i'd a kissed my momma good-bye.
I didn't tell her that I loved her or how much cared
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 wasnt like the rest,
Instead of takin the test I took two to the chest.

Call me blind but I didn't see it comin
and everybody was runnin
but I couldn't hear nothin, except
gun blast, it happened so fast
I didn't really know this kid though I sat by him in class.
Maybe this kid was reachin 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 its because

CHORUS
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

Little Suzzie 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 kinda proud but no respect for herself
