Testi

[Verse 1]

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 2]

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?

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

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?

[Verse 5]

Right in the ghetto, ooh of Senegal

Africa, Africa

Give it to the ghetto, ooh of Senegal

Africa, Africa

Take it to the ghetto, ooh of Senegal

Africa, Africa

Send it right to the ghetto, ooh 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 a 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, take our time if we want to

Africa, Africa

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

Think about it
