Where I'm From Freestyle - Akon
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 cops 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 n***as 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
