Wavin’ Flag (will.i.am & David Guetta Remix)

[Chorus: K'naan]

When I get older, I will be stronger

They'll call me freedom just like a wavin' flag

So wave your flag, now wave your flag

Now wave your flag (Oh)

[Verse 1: K'naan]

Born to a throne, stronger than Rome

A violence-prone poor-people zone

But it's 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 from these streets, it can be bleak

Accept no defeat, surrender, retreat

[Pre-Chorus: K'naan]

So we strugglin', fighting to eat

And we wonderin' when we'll be free

So we patiently wait for that fateful day

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

[Chorus: K'naan]

When I get older, I will be stronger

I'll make it better, struggle no longer

When I get older, I will be stronger

They'll call me freedom just like a wavin' flag

So wave your flag, now wave your flag

Now wave your flag, now wave your flag

Now wave your flag, now wave your flag

Now wave your flag (Oh)

[Verse 2: K'naan & will.i.am]

So many wars (Wars), settlin' scores (Scores)

Bringin' us promises, leavin' us poor

And in a situation when death's a compensation

They got no occupation to buy no medication

See, it's a combination of no education

But we can never get and save tomorrow's generation

'Cause they can't control us, no, they can't hold us down

We gon' pick it up

[Pre-Chorus: will.i.am & K'naan]

Even though we all strugglin', fighting to eat

And we wondering when we'll be free

So we patiently wait (Wait) for that fateful day (Go)

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

[Chorus: K'naan, will.i.am, Both]

When I get older, I will be stronger

I'll make it better, struggle no longer

When I get older, I will be stronger

They'll call me freedom just like a wavin' flag

So wave your flag (Yeah), and wave your flag (Yeah)

And wave your flag (Yeah), and wave your flag

And wave your flag, and wave your flag

And wave your flag

[Bridge: K'naan]

(Oh)

(Oh)

(Oh)

(Oh)

And everybody will be singing it (Oh)

And you and I will be singing it (Oh)

And we all will be singing it (Oh)

Oh, oh, oh (Oh)

[Chorus: K'naan, K'naan & will.i.am, will.i.am]

When I get older, I will be stronger

Stronger, stronger, I will be stronger

Stronger, stronger, I will be stronger

They'll call me freedom just like a wavin' flag

So wave your flag, and wave your flag

And wave your flag, and wave your flag

And wave your flag, and  wave your flag

And wave your flag (Yeah)

[Outro: K'naan]

(Oh, oh, oh) Just like a wavin' flag

(Oh, oh) Just like a wavin' flag

Just like a wavin' flag

Just like a wavin' flag
