When I get older
I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a wavin flag Born from a throne
Older than Rome
But violent prone
Poor people zone But it's my home
All I have known Where I got grown
But now its gone Out of the darkness
In came the carnage
Threatening my very survival Fractured my streets
And broke all my dreams Now Feels like defeat to wretched retreat So we strugglin' Fighting to eat And we wonderin' If we'll be free We cannot wait for some faithful day
It's too far away so right now I'll say When I get older
I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a waving flag
(And then it goes back x3) Aho aho aho So many wars settling scores All that we've been through
And now there is more I hear them say love is the way Love is the answer that's what they say But were not just dreamers
Of broken down grievers Our hand will reach us
And we will not see ya This can't control us
No it can't hold us down We gon pick it up even though we still struggling Au nom de la survie (In the name of survival) And we wondering Battant pour nos vies (Fighting for our lives) We patiently wait
For some other day Thats too far away so right now I say So we strugglin' Uh, well alright
How come when the media stops covering
And there's a little help from the government
We forget about the people still struggling
And a**ume that its really all love again nahh
See we don't have to wait for things to break apart
If you weren't involved before it's never too late to start
You probably think that it's too far to even have to care
Well take a look at where you live what if it happened there?
You have to know the urge to make a change lies within
And we can be the reason that they see the flag rise again When I get older
I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a wavin' flag And then it goes back And then it goes back Then it goes back So we strugglin' When I get older
When I get older
I will be stronger
Just like a waving flag
