[00:00.59]When I get older
[00:02.20]I will be stronger
[00:03.87]They'll call me freedom
[00:05.62]Just like a wavin' flag
[00:10.73]When I get older
[00:12.06]I will be stronger
[00:13.65]They'll call me freedom
[00:15.20]Just like a wavin' flag
[00:17.60]And then it goes back
[00:19.04]And then it goes back
[00:20.58]And then it goes back
[00:23.32]Born to a throne
[00:24.73]Stronger than Rome
[00:26.27]But violent-prone
[00:27.83]Poor people zone
[00:29.41]But it's my home
[00:30.90]All I have known
[00:32.53]Where I got grown
[00:34.15]Streets we would roam
[00:35.66]Out of the darkness
[00:37.32]I came the farthest
[00:38.91]Among the hardest survival
[00:42.19]Learn from these streets
[00:43.63]It can be bleak
[00:45.20]Accept no defeat
[00:46.55]Surrender retreat
[00:48.16]So we strugglin'
[00:50.04]Fightin' to eat
[00:51.41]And we wonderin'
[00:53.25]When we'll be free
[00:54.41]So we patiently wait
[00:56.03]For that fateful day
[00:57.78]It's not far away
[00:59.38]But for now we say
[01:01.15]When I get older
[01:02.56]I will be stronger
[01:04.18]They'll call me freedom
[01:05.75]Just like a wavin' flag
[01:08.05]And then it goes back
[01:09.56]And then it goes back
[01:11.09]And then it goes back
[01:13.76]So many wars
[01:15.19]Settlin' scores
[01:16.93]Bringing us promises
[01:18.47]Leaving us poor
[01:19.90]I heard them say
[01:21.41]Love is the way
[01:23.10]Love is the answer
[01:24.67]That's what they say
[01:26.22]But look how they treat us
[01:27.87]Make us believers
[01:29.47]We fight their battles
[01:30.98]Then they deceive us
[01:32.51]Try to control us
[01:34.19]They couldn't hold us
[01:35.65]'Cause we just move forward
[01:37.28]Like Buffalo soldiers
[01:38.80]So we strugglin'
[01:40.55]Fightin' to eat
[01:41.88]And we wonderin'
[01:43.76]When we'll be free
[01:44.89]So we patiently wait
[01:46.52]For that fateful day
[01:48.23]It's not far away
[01:49.88]But for now we say
[01:51.44]When I get older
[01:53.14]I will be stronger
[01:54.66]They'll call me freedom
[01:56.24]Just like a wavin' flag

[02:14.18]And then it goes back
[02:15.85]And then it goes
[02:19.40]And then it goes
[02:27.59]And everybody will be singing it
[02:30.70]And you and I will be singing it
[02:34.03]And we all will be singing it
