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

J'assume les raisons qui nous poussent de changer tout,
J'aimerais qu'on oublie leur couleur pour qu'ils esperent
Beaucoup de sentiments de race qui font qu'ils desesperent
Je veux les portes grandements ouvertes,
Des amis pour parler de leur peine, de leur joie
Pour qu'ils leur filent des infos qui ne divisent pas
