[Interlude]
Akon (akon) 
C'mon (c'mon)

[Verse 1]
This is the ultimate journey of your life 
Where the weak die and the strong survive 
Prepare to suffer 40 days and 40 nights 
Strap on your boots because you got a long hike 

[Chorus]
Just another journey, another journey into time
(C'mon now)
Just another journey, who ever thought I'd cross this line
Ohohohohoh

[Verse 2]
Walking through the dirty streets of Jersey (Jersey) 
A dollar to my name searchin for that key 
I'm tryin not to reincorinate my past 
I'm tired from the game, took another path 
Destination 95 Dirty South 
Where the devil tried to realter my route 
Creator took me by the hand and led the way-ay 
To make the story short thats why I'm here today 

[Chorus]
Just another journey, another journey into time
(Another journey into time)
Just another journey, who ever thought I'd cross this line
(Cross this line) Ohohohohoh

[Verse 3]
What about that day you said I wouldn't amount to shit
And about that day you kicked me out onto the bricks 
What about that time you said I wouldn't make a dime 
And about that time you said I couldn't make you mine 
Destination to the bank overseas 
Where Akons treated like royalty 
Cause there's so much in this world i have to see-e 
The wagon's rolling so jump in a follow me-e 

[Breakdown]
Born and raised in Africa trying to make a scene 
(Trying to make a scene) 
The best way to get to you is by this music thing 
And you might believe 

[Interlude]
Akon (Akon) 
C'mon (c'mon)

[Bridge]
Lets take it to the streets
(I traveled through the ghettos of America)
Lets take it to the streets
(I traveled through the ghettos of Africa)
Lets take it to the streets
(I traveled through the ghettos of Asia)
Lets take it to the streets
(I traveled through the ghettos all over)

[Chorus]
Just another journey, another journey into time
(Another journey into time)
Just another journey, who ever thought I'd cross this line
(Cross this line) Ohohohohoh
(In my journey yea) yea, yea

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.
