Chorus:
When I get older
I will be stronger
They call me freedom
Just like a waving flag
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
Oooo yeah
Feet planted on the ground like the flag on the moon
My childhood under construction with blessings coming soon
My blood was immune to giving up
Cause part of my people were stolen from Africa
Scattered across, land of the freedom or land of the lost
????? was here first singing Cherokee songs
Till the trail of tears became the path that they walked upon
Uplifting words can hide the past
Shocked by the truth, all the facts, a cross on their backs
Waiting to heal like an arm in a cast
They say teachers making lessons
Celebrities living better
Material things aren't worth more than the hearts treasures
Close your eyes and imagine a flag kissing the sky
And feel your freedom waving back, side to side
Chorus x2
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 their battles
Then they deceive us
Heard this song from k'naan
He spoke of his struggle
Ill speak of mine too
To conquer my struggle
Roadblocks at the front door
Why would someone want more
Liquor store, gun store, drone strikes they must like war
People leave their countries to come to America
Thinking they could be freed from all the hysteria
I heard someone say the other day they might have been wrong
Funny how the gra** looks greener when the hopes gone
Some say it's changed, things ain't bad as they used to be
But used to be is yesterday, tomorrow could be d**h of me
Everything we go through can only make us stronger
If it doesn't k** us our ambition will last longer cause…
Chorus x2
Once upon a time, the bu*terfly was a caterpillar
Tree was a seed, flame was a spark
The universe was a thought, in the mind of the creator
Big bang see ya later, big bang see ya later
Idealism versus realism
Wisdom comes over time
To get, to the top, each step must be climbed
We digress then progress
Some quiet, some express
Who listens, who ignores?
Which issue should I address?
Reporting live from the beehive
Buzzin just to survive
Bugging as we collide, genocide, homicide
You and I deserve to be free
But every freedom has a cost
Blood shed like sacrifices to god
Plug in the truth, and let your consciousness charge
As we grow older well see further
Our vision ain't far
As we grow older well see further
Our vision ain't far
As we grow older well see further
Our vision ain't far
