7 Seconds
Boul ma sene, boul ma guiss madi re nga fokni mane
Khamouma li neka thi sama suuf ak thi guinaw
Beugouma kouma khol daldine yaw li neka si yaw
Mo ne si man li ne si mane moye dilene diapale
TRANSLATION:
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
I don't want you to look at me and think what's in you is in me
What's in me is to help them
Roughness and rudeness, we should be using
On the ones who practice wicked charms
For the sword and the stone, bad to the bone
Battle's 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, seven seconds away
Just as long as 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
J'assume les raisons qui nous poussent de changer tout
J'aimerais qu'on oublie leur couleur pour qu'ils espèrent
Beaucoup de sentiments de race qui font qu'ils désespèrent
Je veux les deux mains ouvertes
Des amis pour parler de leur peine
De leur joie pour qu'ils leur filent
Des infos qui ne divisent pas changer
TRANSLATION:
I assume the reasons that push us to change everything
I would like us to forget about their color so they can be optimistic
Too many views on race that make them desparate
I want the doors wide open
So they can talk about their pain
And joy, then we can give them
Information that will bring us all together
Seven seconds away
Just as long as 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
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
Seven seconds away
Just as long as 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 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 stay, I'll be waiting
