Lyrics: Senegal

yow
In case u aint know I go by the name of akon and im from
(afrika afrika)
home of the goree island im from senegal westside
(afrika afrika)
so im gonna share with you on where
I'm from an how i was comin up(afrika afrika).

Verse 1
So what you know about the strugles that my people went
trough so you can live the way you live now
Say what you know about seeing that brand new mother
giving away her newborn child
what u know about mr amadu ndiaij that the senegalis cops
shot down
say what u know about how people love to perceive us when
we are comin to a bran new town
now what u know about goree island were all the slaves were
shiped from
what u know about beeing born in america to avoid the
imigration

Still from the ghettos of senegal(afrika afrika)
Comin from the ghettos of senegal(afrika afrika)
comin from the ghettos of senegal (afrika afrika)
comin from the ghettos of senegal(afrika afrika)

What you know about schebujcen yassa Schene and mafe my
favorite foods
Say what you know about n****s trowing rocks buseshats at
the military invatin my hood
So what you know about kids whit automatic machins waiting
for the war to get on their side
So what you know about how god comes first in their lives
everything that we do is for allah
So what you know about that holy place called tuba where
prophets are born
and what you know about comin here gettin money investin it
back home

Right from the ghettos of senegal(afrika afrika)
Give it to the ghettos of senegal(afrika afrika)
Take it to the ghettos of senegal (afrika afrika)
send it right in the ghettos of senegal(afrika afrika)

now see that's just a little piece of how it is in Afrika
Afrika, see but we can come together and make it a lot betta back home,
in Afrika, Afrika, so don't complain about how they treatin you here,
take your millions of dollas there, back to Afrika,
Afrika, we own that land, we own those diamonds,
they can be ours if we want to, Afrika, Afrika,
we kings man, we don't take orders, we give em, think about it
