_ I [G] wish I wouldn't have known cause I didn't kiss my mama goodbye.
Didn't tell her [C] that I loved her, how much I cared.
I [G] thank my pops for all the talks and all the wisdom he shared.
Unaware I just did what I always do.
[F] Everyday the same routine before I scared off to school, but who [C] knew?
This day wasn't like the rest.
[G] Instead of taking a test, I took two to the chest.
[C] They called me blind, but I didn't see it coming.
[Eb] Everybody was running, but I couldn't hear nothing [Cm] except
a gun blast, and that was so fast.
[Bb] I didn't really know [Gm] this kid, so I said,
buy him in class.
Maybe [C] this kid was reaching out for love.
[D] Or maybe for a moment [Eb] he forgot who he was.
[Cm] Or maybe this kid just wanted to be hugged.
[C] Whatever it was, I know it's because
we are, we are, we [F] [Bb] are,

_ the youth of the nation.
Little Sufi, [G] she was only 12.
She was giving the world with every chance to excel.
[C] And with the boys that hear the stories they tell,
she [F] might act kind of proud, but no respect herself.
[C] She finds love in all the wrong places.
[G] The same situations with different faces.
[C] Takes up her pace since her daddy left her.
[G] Too bad he never told her she deserved much better.
[Cm] And Johnny Boy always played the fool.
[Gm] He broke all the rules so you [Cm] would think he was cool.
And he was never really one of the guys.
No [Gm] matter how hard he tried, up and thought of suicide.
It's kind of hard when you ain't got no friends.
He [Eb] put his life to an end.
They might remember him then.
[Cm] You cross the line, there's no turning back.
He told [C] the world how he felt with the sound of a gag.
And we are, we are, we are,
the youth of the nation.
We are, we are, we [Eb] [G] are,
the youth of the [C] nation.
We are, we are, we [Bb] are,

_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ So who's [Cm] to blame for the life, the tragedies claimed?
[Eb] No matter what you say, it'll [Ab] take away the pain [Cm] that I feel inside.
I'm tired of all these lies, [Eb] don't nobody know why.
It's the blind [Gm] leading the blind.
That's the way that this story goes.
[Eb] Will the devil make sense?
Somebody's got to [Cm] know.
There's got to be more to life than this.
There's got to [C] be more to everything I thought exists.
And we are, we are, [Eb] _ [G] the youth of the [C] nation.
