Senegal |
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, 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 |
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!) |
So what you know about Thiéboudieune, Yassa, Thiéré and Maafé, 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 Touba where Prophets were born |
So what you know about comin here, gettin money and investing it back home |
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!) |
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 |
