Senegal Lyrics
Artist(Band):Akon
AKON - SENEGAL
[INTRO: Akon Talking]
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 1]
So what you know about the struggles that my people went through so you can live the Flip of the crap allah is the most best now
So what you know about seeing that brand new mother givin away her newborn child
So what you know about Mr.Amadou diallo, a 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 Island, where all the slaves were shipped from
So what you know about being born in America to avoid immigration
[Chorus]
Still from the ghetto ooohh of Senegal (Africa!Africa!)
Comin' from the ghetto ooohh of Senegal (Africa! Africa!)
Comin' from the ghetto ooohh of Senegal (Africa! Africa!)
Yes, I'm comin' from the ghetto ooohh of Senegal (Africa! Africa!)
[Verse 2]
So what you know about Thienboudienne,Yassa, Tcherey and Maafey, my favourite foods
So what you know about niggas 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 Kabaa where Prophets were born
So what you know about comin here, gettin money and investing it back home
[Chorus]
Right in the ghetto oooo of Senagal (Africa! Africa!)
Give it to the ghetto oooo of Senegal (Africa! Africa!)
Take it to the ghetto oooo of Senegal (Africa! Africa!)
Send it right to the ghetto ooo of Senegal (Africa! Africa!)
[OUTRO: Akon Talking]
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 (Af-ree-caa! Africa!)
So don't complain about how they treating you here, take your millions of dollars there, back to (Africa! Africa!)
We own that land, we own those diamonds, (Africa! Africa!)
We kings man, we dont take orders, we give em.
Think about it.

Review about Senegal
TOUBA | Reviewer: romina | 9/22/2008the holy place is called TOUBA and not Kaaba and it is the most important religious city of Senegal....Akon was born muslim and all his family is the same...HE'S SO PROUD TO BE A MUSLIM who say that is not true???Romina from Italy....YAYE FALL
What does he say? | Reviewer: Islamic Group | 9/15/2008
In one of the lyrics it says that do you know about tuba where the prophets were born..Does he mean Kabbah? He makes no sense The prophets were not born in the kabbah... Some of them were born in different places. Well Hopefully one day he will become a practicing Muslim... Does anyone know if T-pain is Muslim??
I am. | Reviewer: Akon | 8/1/2008
I know I don't act Muslim,but the truth is I am.
I do sometimes wonder what it would be like to be a truthful Muslim. I don't pray every day, but on some Fridays I pray in private. I hope one day I may be able to be a good Muslim.
random | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/30/2008
most of africa is muslim, but he was a non practising muslim, util he was older like 19-20, nyways he still doenst get the message in my book, and his comment that allah comes first is a bit hypocrytical considering his actions, i.e 'smack that'. I cannot really comment as I have no idea on what he does in his private time, he could be a deeply religious person behind the curtains (though unlikely). I my self arent as i wish and noe i should be, and inshallah i became a true muslim, same for evry1 else.
encouragement of the song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/29/2008
i am fairly hearted to be update about the song you sang intitled senegal. you have cheered africans up to get self-ndependence, to care about thier own land. there is no place better than home. for you can find peace,love and joy. thanks a million to AKON for hearting oncemore our soul. i am called KONDE CEDRICK, from the democratic republic of congo ( kinshasa). i am a song composer and i 'd like one day to give you as a gift a song about 'bastard children" why are they running in the street in stead of studying and planning completely their future.i have found it enjoyable to give it to AKON because he one of the international musicians who really cares about the future of humanity. thanks before hand

akon....... a muslim? | Reviewer: mary | 12/14/2007
akon isn't born a muslim. he just changed his religion, you don't see many people coming from africa, who are muslim. and the song sound really bad to my ears, i hate akon, and i will never support him.
Akon supporter 4 life | Reviewer: meee | 12/4/2007
