Lyrics

[00:29.19] Boul ma sene, boul ma guiss madi re nga fokni mane
[00:35.64] Khamouma li neka thi sama suuf ak thi guinaw
[00:41.49] Beugouma kouma khol daldine yaw li neka si yaw
[00:47.86] Mo ne si man li ne si mane moye dilene diapale
[00:53.76] Roughness and rudeness, we should be using
[00:57.01] On the ones who practice wicked charms
[00:59.49] For the sword and the stone, bad to the bone
[01:02.68] Battle's not over even when it's won
[01:07.90] And when a child is born into this world
[01:12.61] It has no concept of the tone the skin is living in
[01:18.81] It's not a second, seven seconds away
[01:23.62] Just as long as stay, I'll be waiting
[01:31.29] It's not a second, seven seconds away
[01:36.07] Just as long as stay, I'll be waiting
[01:42.53] I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting
[01:57.44] J'assume les raisons qui nous poussent de changer tout
[02:03.15] J'aimerais qu'on oublie leur couleur pour qu'ils espèrent
[02:08.80] Beaucoup de sentiments de race qui font qu'ils désespèrent
[02:13.01] Je veux les deux mains ouvertes
[02:14.55] Des amis pour parler de leur peine
[02:16.70] De leur joie pour qu'ils leur filent
[02:18.85] Des infos qui ne divisent pas changer
[02:22.83] Seven seconds away
[02:26.08] Just as long as stay, I'll be waiting
[02:33.61] It's not a second, seven seconds away
[02:38.54] Just as long as stay, I'll be waiting
[02:42.52] I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting
[02:56.90] 
[03:24.84] And when a child is born into this world
[03:29.42] It has no concept of the tone the skin is living in
[03:36.15] And there's a million voices
[03:41.18] And there's a million voices
[03:45.91] To tell you what she should be thinking
[03:48.98] So you better sober up for just a second
[03:53.09] Seven seconds away
[03:56.25] Just as long as stay, I'll be waiting
[04:03.94] It's not a second, seven seconds away
[04:08.60] Just as long as stay, I'll be waiting
[04:16.35] It's not a second, seven seconds away
[04:20.91] Just as long as stay, I'll be waiting
[04:28.80] It's not a second, seven seconds away
[04:33.46] Just as long as stay, I'll be waiting
[04:41.12] It's not a second, seven seconds away
[04:45.92] Just as long as stay, I'll be waiting
[04:51.85]
