Lyrics:

When i get older, I will be stronger
theyll call me freedom, just like a waving flag
(flag, flag, flag, flag)

When i get older, i will be stronger
theyll call me freedom, just like a waving flag
and then it goes back (3x)

Born to a throne
stronger than rome
but 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 form these streets
it can be bleak
accept no defeat
surrender, retreat

(so were strugglin)
fighting to eat
(and were wonderin)
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 waving flag
and then it goes back (3x)
aaaooooaaah

So many wars settlin' scores
bring us promises, leaving us wars
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 were strugglin)
fighting to eat
(and were wonderin)
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 waving flag
and then it goes back (3x)
and then it goes when i get older, i will be stronger
theyll call me freedom, just like a waving flag
and then it goes back (3x)
ahhhooo ahhhoooo ahhhooo
(and then it goes) ooooaaaaaahhhhooo

and everybody will be singing it
and you and i will be singing it
and we all will be singing it
wo wah wo ah wo ah

When i get older, i will be stronger
theyll call me freedom, just like a waving flag
and then it goes back (3x)
and then it goes when i get older, i will be stronger
theyll call me freedom, just like a waving 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
just like a waving flag (3x)
flag, flag
just like a waving flag.

[JewZ99]

@ziephk For someone to seemingly love peace, you don't seem to mind the shit that Palestinian terrorists do to Israeli civilians with Kazam rockets and mortars. Listen, the Israelis are not the always the greatest. They are just trying to survive. They make mistakes, and I know that the Palestinians do too. There is not always a "good guy" in war, so let's just start wishing for PEACE, SALAAM, SHALOM!
