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 and how much i care Of 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 for the chest
Call me blind, but i didn't see it coming Everybody was running But i couldn't hear nothing
Except gun blasts, it happened so fast I don't really know this kid Even though i sit beside him in class
Maybe this kid was reaching out for love Or maybe just for a moment He forgot who he was or maybe this kid just wanted to be hugged Whatever it was I knew it's because
Chorus: We are, we are, the youth of the nation
Little suzy, she was only twleve She was given the world With every chance to excel
Hang out with the boys and hear the stories they tell She might act kind of proud But no respect for herself
