[Intro]
Akon

[Chorus]
Africa
Oh Africa
Oh Africa

[Verse 1: Akon]
I know that we have to take it to the goal
'Cause everyone's depending on we
See we ain't got nowhere to go but up
It's our destiny

[Pre-Chorus: Keri Hilson]
We're choosing to win, we'll do what it takes
To get to the top of the highest mountain
We'll do anything, we got to prove ourselves
'Cause we know

[Chorus]
Oh Africa
Oh Africa
Oh Africa

[Verse 2: Akon]
See we'll never be able to forget this day
'Cause it's the greatest day of our life
See no matter what happens at least we can say
"We came, we saw, we tried"

[Pre-Chorus: Keri Hilson]
We're choosing to win, we'll do what it takes
To get to the top of the highest mountain
We'll do anything, we got to prove ourselves
'Cause we know

[Chorus]
Oh Africa
Oh Africa
Oh Africa

[Bridge: Akon & Keri Hilson]
This is our time to shine, our time to fly
Our time to be inside the sky
Our time to soar, our time to score
The last one in football

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh Africa
Oh Africa

[Chorus]
Oh Africa
Oh Africa
Oh Africa

Oh Africa
Oh Africa
Oh Africa

Akon

Akon (born Aliaume Akon Thiam), is a Senegalese-American Grammy-nominated and platinum-selling rapper, songwriter, singer and businessman. His trademark is singing the word ‘convict’ at the beginning of most of his songs.

Akon was born in the US but spent much of childhood in the West African country Senegal. There, he learned to play five instruments including the djembe, guitar and drums. Early on Akon signed a deal with Elektra Records, but was later dropped from the label.

His career took off when Lil Zane introduced Akon to music executive DeVyne Stephens, who signed him to his label UpFront Records and became his longtime manager and business partner.
