7 Seconds 坂本龍一 (Ryuichi Sakamoto)

[Chorus]
7 seconds and your ass is mine, yo
7 seconds and your ass is mine
7 seconds and your ass is mine, yo
7 seconds and your ass is mine
7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2

[Verse 1]
7 seconds ago, smothered echoes of woe
Disguised as a scream and portrayed in my dreams
It had a nigga drippin' sweat, do you know what I mean?
Really have you ever seen such a horrible sight
That it seeps through the seams of your mind every night
Where to god it gets hard just to turn off the light
Not everybody's blessed with the gift of rest
Some have troubles, weighin' heavy like a hole in their chest
Stand like a man, grin and bear it at best
Searchin' for solution, some set upon a quest
Never findin' what they seek and losin' self along the way
Empty souls never sleep, it's a hell a price to pay
You'll be meetin' wreck tomorrow if you sold shit today

7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2

[Verse 2]
Never thought it'd come to this, ruptured moments of bliss
Always being fucked, never gettin' a kiss
Close your eyes, cross your fingers, hold your breath and make a wish
Predators and prey, they just exist that way
Hopin' Mystery Man will send a blessin' their way
Ascend to the sky in a burst of flames
Serve themselves salvation for material gain
If you can't see or touch it I suggest that you remain
In a state of mind that's eternally inclined
To question what is real and leave the fables behind
