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
