    So many wars, settling scores
    Bringing us promises, leaving us poor
    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
    Try to control us, they couldn’t hold us
    Cause we just move forward like Buffalo Soldiers
    I love this song .

    This is a beautiful song, and K'Naan actually deserves all the fame he gets from it. Unlike all the shit on the radio that is just auto tuned talking with a catchy beat, this guy is really singing. And it's about something. An to top it all off this acoustic version is a great combination of 'ethnic' instrumentals complimented by more modern hip hop dynamics. Love it.

    Honestly, when I listen to rap (I love music and am trying to express myself through it as well) I see just a money making ambition. K'Naan has no monetary ambitions, at least from what I feel. I can, as a man, cry with this man's songs because of the memory it brings from my own life. This is what music should be nowadays instead of "EWW CRANK DAHT SOLJYEAH BWAUY"

    When I get older I will be stronger
    They'll call me freedom just like a wavin' flag
    When I get older I will be stronger
    They'll call me freedom just like a wavin' flag
    And then it goes back, and then it goes back
    And then it goes back, oh
    Born to a throne, stronger than Rome
    But violent 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
    So we struggling, fighting to eat
    And we wondering when we'll be free
    So we patiently wait for that fateful day
    It's not far away, but for now we say
    When I get older I will be stronger
    They'll call me freedom just like a wavin' flag
    And then it goes back, and then it goes back
    And then it goes back, oh
    So many wars, settling scores
    Bringing us promises, leaving us poor
    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
    Try to control us, they couldn't hold us
    'Cause we just move forward like Buffalo Soldiers
    But we struggling, fighting to eat
    And we wondering, when we'll be free
    So we patiently wait for that faithful day
    It's not far away but for now we say
    When I get older I will be stronger
    They'll call me freedom just like a wavin' flag
    And then it goes back, and then it goes back
    And then it goes back, and then it goes
    When I get older I will be stronger
    They'll call me freedom just like a wavin' flag
    And then it goes back, and then it goes back
    And then it goes back, and then it goes
    And then it goes
    And everybody will be singing it
    And you and I will be singing it
    And we all will be singing it
    Oh, oh, oh
    When I get older I will be stronger
    They'll call me freedom just like a wavin' flag
    And then it goes back, and then it goes back
    And then it goes back, and then it goes
    When I get older I will be stronger
    They'll call me freedom just like a wavin' flag
    And then it goes back, and then it goes back
    And then it goes back, oh
    When I get older
    When I get older
    I will be stronger
    Just like a wavin' flag
    Just like a wavin' flag
    Just like a wavin' flag
    Flag, flag
    Just like a wavin' flag

    Porque no fue esta canción en lugar del waka, wakala por aquel entonces..?? Nunca lo entenderé, pero el tema oficial de los mundiales esta cada vez peor. Alguien dijo por ahí, porque no fue interprete Brasilero y en Portugues?? Hubiese sonado muy lindo y dado a conocer al mundo lo maravillosa que es la música hecha en Brazil... Ojala la FIFA tome nota de los comentarios en las redes sociales. Queda de Tarea para el próximo mundial.
