Wavin' flag
K’naan Feat. Will.I.Am & David Guetta Lyrics

When I get older, I will be stronger
As I grow older, I will become stronger and more capable of fighting for my rights.

They'll call me freedom, just like a Waving Flag
As I become stronger, I will be recognized as a symbol of freedom, like a waving flag.

And then it goes back, and then it goes back, and then it goes back
The struggle for freedom and equality is ongoing and cyclical, with progress and setbacks.

To the throne, stronger than Rome
The artist is striving to achieve a position of power and influence, stronger even than the great empire of Rome.

But violent prone, poor people zone, But it's my home, all I have known, Where I got grown, streets we would roam
The artist comes from a violent and impoverished neighborhood, but it is their home and they are proud of where they come from.

But out of the darkness, I came the farthest, Among the hardest survival

Learn from these streets, it can be bleak, Accept no defeat Surrender retreat

So we struggling, fighting to eat and We wondering when we'll be free

It's not far away, so for now we say

So many wars, settling scores, Bringing us promises, leaving us poor
The artist is critical of those in power who make promises but fail to live up to them, leaving the people they are supposed to serve in poverty.

I heard them say, love is the way, Love is the answer, that's what they say
The singer has heard those in power talk about the importance of love, but they question whether those words are put into action.

But look how they treat us, make us believers, We fight their battles, then they deceive us
Despite being used by those in power to fight their battles, the artist and their community are treated poorly and deceived.

Try to control us, they couldn't hold us, 'Cause we just move forward like Buffalo Soldiers

And everybody will be singing it, And you and I will be singing it, And we all will be singing it
The struggle for freedom and equality will unite people across all boundaries and become a unifying force.

When I get older, when I get older I will be stronger, just like a waving flag
The singer's strength will continue to grow over time, like a waving flag symbolizing the fight for freedom and equality.

Flag, flag, just like a waving flag
The waving flag is a powerful symbol of hope, pride, and strength in the face of struggle.
