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
