Youth of the Nation (Contrafactum) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My last day on this worn out Earth
I wish I would've known 'cos I'd've told you all you were worth
I would've kissed my Grandma, gave my brothers a hug
And called my sister & my niece to give 'em all of my love
But how was I to know somebody 'bout to unleash
A million words unspoken in the form of a piece?
A muzzle flash & the silence torn
Like I was caught within the chaos of a category 7 storm
I didn't know the kid but I did know his face
I know I never did to him anything outta place
Couldn't say the same for others & then it hit home
This is what happens when deliverance is a bit slow
But is that all there was? What of his home life?
Did his father hit him when he wasn't yelling at his wife?
Was the music enough until he found his father's guns
Did him first & then headed for the school bus?

[Chorus]
The Youth of The Nation, the views that we're chasin'
Abuse & the names & the truths that we're facin'
Youth of The World, proof's in the medication
Alcohol, antidepressants & laceration
Of veins, doors locked, system up, systematically
Drowning out their reality, pounding 'em to insanity
Youth of The Nation, they're victims to your plans
Youth of The Nation, their blood is on your hands

[Verse 2]
Little Susie, damn, she was a cutie
Drove the boys wild with her rack & her booty_
Dropped to her knees on weekends to please her peeps
And leave 'em all at ease between teeth
Didn't know another way to appease
Her daddy never told her that he loved her even when he left her & her mother
Dirt poor, sleeping on the floor, mama found the base
Left Susie all alone, cum on her face
Johnny Boy, he thought Susie was gorgeous
Didn't believe the stories, thought that there was more
To the girl that had lived next door for twelve years
Best friends until freshman year & the pressure of their peers
When Susie's parents divorced, they were about to move
Johnny Boy finally told Susie the truth
Three years later they wed but she couldn't change her ways
And murder-suicide took 'em both to early graves

[Chorus]
The Youth of The Nation, the views that we're chasin'
Abuse & the names & the truths that we're facin'
Youth of The World, proof's in the medication
Alcohol, antidepressants & laceration
Of veins, doors locked, system up, systematically
Drowning out their reality, pounding 'em to insanity
Youth of The Nation, they're victims to your plans
Youth of The Nation, their blood is on your hands

[Verse 3]
They say that God has a plan & that's why I stopped being a Christian
Evidently the plan's already come to fruition
White nationalism & neo-fascism
War criminal military tacticians
Anglo-colonialism & stolen generations
Blanqueamiento for one white nation
Rape, murder & genocie, corruption & capital
Rewrite the past & placate the apex animal
Open vocal hatred of people & free expression
Of the ways in which they manifest their natural humanity
You rage against the labels, you're hoping to turn the tables
But as soon as they flipping you spitting "God & Christianity"
This is why kids are killing each other, killing themselves
Unafraid to die 'cos they know that they're actually leaving Hell
That's the way that the story goes
Will it ever make sense? I doubt anyone will ever know

[Chorus]
The Youth of The Nation, the views that we're chasin'
Abuse & the names & the truths that we're facin'
Youth of The World, proof's in the medication
Alcohol, antidepressants & laceration
Of veins, doors locked, system up, systematically
Drowning out their reality, pounding 'em to insanity
Youth of The Nation, they're victims to your plans
Youth of The Nation, their blood is on your hands
