Senegal - Album Version

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)

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 Islands

Where all the slaves were shipped from?

So what you know about

Being born in America to avoid immigration?

Still from the ghetto ooh of Senegal

(Africa Africa)

Comin' from the ghetto ooh of Senegal

(Africa Africa)

Comin' from the ghetto ooh of Senegal

(Africa Africa)

Yes I'm comin' from the ghetto ooh of Senegal

(Africa Africa)

So what you know about Tchebou Dje

Yassa Deraay and Maafay my favorite foods?

So what you know about ** 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?

Right in the ghetto ooo of Senagal

(Africa Africa)

Give it to the ghetto ooo of Senegal

(Africa Africa)

Take it to the ghetto ooo of Senegal

(Africa Africa)

Send it right to the ghetto ooo of Senegal

(Africa Africa)

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

(Africa Africa)

So don't complain about how they treat me here

Take your millions of dollars there back to

(Africa Africa)

We own that land we owned those diamonds

(Africa Africa)

We kings man we don't take orders we give 'em

Think about it
