When I get older I will be stronger
Theyll call me freedom, just like a wavin
flag
When I get older, I will be stronger
Theyll call me freedom just like a wavin
flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes
back
And then it goes back, oh
Born to a throne, stronger than Rome
A violent prone, poor people zone
But its my home, all I have known
Where I got grown, streets we would roam
Out of the darkness, I came the farthest
Among the hardest survival
Learn from these streets, it can be bleak
Accept no defeat, surrender, retreat
So we struggling, fighting to eat
And we wondering when well be free
So we patiently wait for that fateful day
Its not far away, but for now we say
When I get older I will be stronger
Theyll call me freedom just like a wavin
flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes
back
And then it goes back, oh
So many wars, settling scores
Bringing us promises, leaving us poor
I heard them say love is the way
Love is the answer, thats what they say
But look how they treat us, make us
believers
We fight their battles, then they deceive us
Try to control us, they couldnt hold us
Cause we just move forward like Buffalo
Soldiers
But we struggling, fighting to eat
And we wondering, when well be free
So we patiently wait for that faithful day
Its not far away but for now we say
When I get older I will be stronger
Theyll call me freedom just like a wavin
flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes
back
And then it goes back, and then is goes
When I get older I will be stronger
Theyll call me freedom just like a wavin
flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes
back
And then it goes back, and then it goes
And then it goes
And everybody will be singing it
And you and I will be singing it
And we all will be singing it
When I get older I will be stronger
Theyll call me freedom just like a wavin
flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes
back
And then it goes back, and then it goes
When I get older I will be stronger
Theyll call me freedom just like a wavin
flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes
back
And then it goes back, oh
When I get older, when I get older
I will be stronger just like a wavin flag
Just like a wavin flag, just like a wavin flag
Flag, flag, just like a wavin flag
