7 Seconds

Don't see me from distance
 Don't look at my smile and think that i don't know
 What someone let behind
 I don't want you to look at me and think
 Roughneck and rudeness,
 We should be using, on the ones who practice wicked charms
 For the sword and the stone
 Bad to the bone
 Battle is not over
 Even when it's won
 And when a child is born into this world
 It has no concept
 Of the tone the skin is living in
 It's not a second
 But 7 seconds away
 Just as long as I stay
 I'll be waiting
 It's not a second
 But 7 seconds away
 Just as long as I stay
 I'll be waiting X3
 I would like us to forget about their color
 So they can be optimistic
 Too many views on rave that make them desperate
 It's not a second
 But 7 seconds away
 Just as long as I stay
 I'll be waiting
 And when a child is born into this world
 It has no concept
 Of the tone of the skin he's living in
 And there's a million voices
 And there's a million voices
 To tell you what she should be thinking
 So you better sober up for just a second
 It's not a second
 But 7 seconds away
 Just as long as I stay
 I'll be waiting
