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 x2

  -5 
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 portes grandement ouvertes,

Des amis pour parler de leur peine, de leur joie

Pour qu'ils leur filent des infos qui ne divisent pas

   
Changer

          
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 x2

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 (fade out)
