AKON - SENEGAL
[INTRO: Akon Talking]
Yo. In case you ain't know
I go by the name of Akon...and I'm from (Africa! Africa!) Home of the Goree Islands - I'm from Senegal
West-side (Africa! Africa!) So I'ma share with you where I'm from and how I was comin' up (Africa! Africa!)
[Verse 1]
So what you know about the struggles that my people went through so you can live the way you live now So what you know about seeing that brand new mother givin away her newborn child So what you know about Mr.Amadou diallo
the Senegalese cop shot down So what you know about how people love to perceive us when we come into a brand new town So what you know about the Goree Island
where all the slaves were shipped from So what you know about being born in America to avoid immigration
[Chorus]
Still from the ghetto ooohh of Senegal (Africa!Africa!) Comin' from the ghetto ooohh of Senegal (Africa! Africa!) Comin' from the ghetto ooohh of Senegal (Africa! Africa!) Yes
I'm comin' from the ghetto ooohh of Senegal (Africa! Africa!)
[Verse 2]
So what you know about Tchebou djen Yassa
Tcherey and Maafey
my favourite foods So what you know about niggas throwin rocks
bustin' shots at the military invadin my hood So what you know about kids with automatic machines waiting for the war to get on that side So what you know about how God comes first in our lives
everything that we do is for Allah So what you know about that Holy place called Touba where Prophets were born So what you know about comin here
gettin money and investing it back home[Chorus]
Right in the ghetto oooo of Senagal (Africa! Africa!) Give it to the ghetto oooo of Senegal (Africa! Africa!) Take it to the ghetto oooo of Senegal (Africa! Africa!) Send it right to the ghetto ooo of Senegal (Africa! Africa!)
[OUTRO: Akon Talking]
Now see that's just a little piece of how it is (Africa! Africa!)
See
but we can come together and make it 'lot better back home (Af-ree-caa! Africa!)
So don't complain about how they treating you here
take your millions of dollars there
back to (Africa! Africa!) We own that land
we own those diamonds
(Africa! Africa!) We kings man
we dont take orders
we give em.
Think about it.
