| Don't see me from a distance, don't look at my smile | |

| 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 | |

| 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 | |
