When I get older
I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom
Just like a wavin flag(2x)
And then it goes back (3x)
Oh
Born to a throne
Stronger than rome
But violent prone
Poor people zone
But it’s 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 form these streets
It can be bleek
Accept no defeat
Surrender, retreat
(So we strugglin’)
Fighting to eat
(And we wonderin’)
When we’ll be free
So we patiently wait
For that faithful day
It’s not far away
But for now we say
When I get older
I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom
Just like a waving flag
(And then it goes back 3x)
So many wars, settling scores
Bringin’ us promises leaving us poor
I heard them say love is the way
Love is the answer that’s what they say
But look how they treat us
Make us believers
We fight there battes
Then they deceive us
Try to control us
They couldn’t hold us
Cause we just move forward
Just like buffalo soldiers
(But we strugglin)
Fighting to eat
(And we wonderingg)
When we’ll be free
So we patiently wait
For that faithfully day
It’s not far away
But for now we say
When I get older
I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom
Just like a wavin’ flag
(And then it goes back (3x)
And then it goes
When I get older
I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom just
Like a wavin’ flag
(And then it goes back (3x)
Ahhhooo ahhhoooo ahhhooo
And then it goes
And than everybody will be singing it
And you and I will be singing it
And we all will be singing it
Woah woah woah
When I get older
I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom
Just like a wavin’ flag
(And then it goes back (3x)
And then it goes
When I get older
I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom
Just like a wavin’ flag
(And then it goes back (3x)
A oh a oh a oh
When I get older
When I get older
I will be stronger
You're a good soldier
Choosing your battles
Pick yourself up
And dust yourself off
Get back in the saddle
