7 Seconds
Don't see me from a distance, don't look at my smile And think that I don't know what's under and behind me Idon't want you to look at me and think What's in you is in me, what's in me is to help them 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 (CHORUS) It's not a second, seven seconds away Just as long as I stay, I'll be waiting It's not a second, seven seconds away Just as long as stay, I'll be waiting I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting I assume the reasons that push us to change I would like that they forget about their color, so that they can have hope Too many views on race that make them desperate I like the doors wide open So that friends can talk about their pain and their joy Then we can give them information, that will bring us all together (CHORUS) It's not a second, seven seconds away Just as long as I stay, I'll be waiting It's not a second, seven seconds away Just as long as I stay, I'll be waiting I'll be waiting, 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 Seven seconds away Just as long as I stay, I'll be waiting It's not a second, seven seconds away Just as long as I stay, I'll be waiting It's not a second, seven seconds away Just as long as I stay, I'll be waiting It's not a second, seven seconds away Just as long as stay, I'll be waiting It's not a second, seven seconds away Just as long as I stay, I'll be waiting

Boul ma sene, boul ma guiss madi re nga fokni mane
Khamouma li neka thi sama souf ak thi guinaw
Beugouma kouma khol oaldine yaw li neka si yaw
mo ne si man, li ne si mane moye dilene diapale
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
7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting
It's not a second
7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting X3
-j'assume les raisons qui nous poussent de changer tout,
I assume the resons's that leads us to change everything,
-J'aimerais qu'on oublie leur couleur pour qu'ils esperent
I'd wich we would forget their color so they can hope
-Beaucoup de sentiments de races qui font qu'ils desesperent
lots of sensations(or fellings) lots of races that leads them to despair
-Je veux les portes grandements ouvertes,
I wan't the doors wide open,
-Des amis pour parler de leur peine, de leur joie
friends to talk about theire sorrow, about theire joy
("peine" is sorrow, sadness trouble, difficulty or can be a criminal sentence
etc)
-Pour qu'ils leur filent des infos qui ne divisent pas
so they can give'em infos that do not divide(scatter)
-Changer
change
7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting
It's not a second
7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting X3
And when a child is born into this world
It has no concept
Of the tone the skin is 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
7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting
It's not a second
7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting
It's not a second
7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting
