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
