[00:00.220] When I get older
[00:02.300] I will be stronger
[00:03.560] They'll call me freedom
[00:05.200] Just like a wavin flag
[00:09.400]
[00:10.229] When I get older
[00:11.588] I will be stronger
[00:13.258] They'll call me freedom
[00:14.848] Just like a wavin flag
[00:17.0] And then it goes back...
[00:22.399] Born to a throne
[00:24.320] Stronger than rome
[00:25.599] But violent prone
[00:27.330] Poor people zone
[00:28.919] But it's my home
[00:30.509] All I have known
[00:32.179] Where I got grown
[00:34.300] Streets we would roam
[00:34.920]
[00:35.370] Out of the darkness
[00:36.870] I came the farthest
[00:38.400] Among the hardest (survival)
[00:41.820] Learn form these streets
[00:43.800] It can be bleek
[00:44.850] Accept no defeat
[00:46.380] Surrender retreat
[00:47.560]
[00:47.900] (So we strugglin')
[00:49.650] Fighting to eat
[00:51.300] (And we wonderin')
[00:52.620] When we'll be free
[00:54.110] So we patiently wait
[00:55.690] For that faithful day
[00:57.300] It's not far away
[00:58.930] But for now we say
[01:00.130]
[01:00.690] When I get older
[01:02.250] I will be stronger
[01:03.680] They'll call me freedom
[01:05.450] Just like a waving flag
[01:07.100] And then it goes back x3
[01:12.630] Ahhho ahhho ahhho
[01:13.200]
[01:13.660] So many wars settling scores
[01:16.340] Bringin' us promises leaving us poor
[01:19.480] I heard them say love is the way
[01:22.670] Love is the answer that's what they say
[01:25.410]
[01:25.890] But look how they treat us
[01:27.560] Make us believers
[01:29.300] We fight there battes
[01:30.520] Then they deceive us
[01:32.209] Try to control us
[01:33.700] They couldn't hold us
[01:35.229] Cause we just move forward
[01:36.940] Just like buffalo soldiers
[01:38.128]
[01:38.550] (But we strugglin)
[01:40.0] Fighting to eat
[01:41.539] (And we wonderingg)
[01:43.128] When we'll be free
[01:44.670] So we patiently wait
[01:46.300] For that faithfully day
[01:47.840] It's not far away
[01:49.690] But for now we say
