Senegal Akon

[Intro]
Yo, in case you ain't know
I go by the name of Akon, and I'm from (Africa, Africa)
Home of the Goree Island
I'm from Senegal, Westside (Africa, Africa)
So I'ma share with you and where I'm from
And how I was comin' up in (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?
Say what you know about
Seeing that brand new mother giving away her newborn child?
Say what you know about
Mr. Amadou Diallo, a Senegalese cops shot down?
Said what you know about how people love to perceive us
When we come into a brand new town?
Now what you know about Goree Island
Where all the slaves were shipped from?
What you know about
Being born in America to avoid immigration?

[Hook]
Still from the ghettos of Senegal (Africa, Africa)
Comin' from the ghettos of Senegal (Africa, Africa)
Comin' from the ghettos of Senegal (Africa, Africa)
Yes, I'm comin' from the ghettos of Senegal (Africa, Africa)
