| 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 |
