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
