Chorus 1
So much so much love, so much
So tell me can you feel it
So much so much yeah
Ya know, make that visit
So much so much love, so much
Senegal, can you feel it
So much so much yeah, so much

Chorus 2
So much love to share
Pure blackness, oneness so rare
So much love to care
Let them know they're missin' out
Mama Africa
So much love to share
Sweet blackness, oneness be there
So much love to give
Let them know they missin' out
Sing again

Verse
A - This is for all the love, and the life took away
F - Don't forget we were born in trade
R - ripped from the land and shipped away
I - Is the inspiration we used to survive
C - Have to see it with your own cries
A - Don't play, add it up and alright
Still ya don't know

Land is so gold and green
The place is so fresh and clean
And everyday I water my garden
Tell me if you feel it deep in your heart and
The space is so cool and nice
Visit once, guaranteed to visit twice
And if you just believe in the most high
I know you'll be alright
Mama Africa

Repeat Chorus 2

Verse
A - That's my favorite place when I need to get away
F - Must forget but we can't forget to pray
R - Like Lance ridin' on the runway
I - In my homeland and I'm feelin' so alive
C - Hear me chant Africa unite
A - Gonna accept the mass alright

Still ya don't know
Skin is so dark and brown
She lifts me right off the ground
But no ya not gonna see it on ya tv
So just listen up and believe me
Her trees have the only cure
Her love is blue so and pure
Had to kiss them troubles goodbye bye
No I don't have to lie, Mama Africa, unite

Repeat Chorus 2

Repeat Chorus 1

So much love to share, I just can't see how we livin' without it
So much love to care, Don't miss don't miss one moment about it
So much love to share, Resist this miss yo I really doubt it
So much love to care
So much love

Repeat Chorus 2

[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 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

[Chorus]
Still from the ghetto oh of Senegal (Africa!Africa!)
Comin' from the ghetto oh of Senegal (Africa! Africa!)
Comin' from the ghetto oh of Senegal (Africa! Africa!)
Yes, I'm comin' from the ghetto oh 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

[Repeat Chorus]

[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.
