Artist/Band: Akon
Lyrics for Song: Mama Africa
Lyrics for Album: Konvicted [2006]



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

Sénégal can you feel it

so much so much yeah

so much



So much love to share

pure blackness, oneness so rare

so much love to give

let them know they're missin' out

Mama Africa

has so much love to share

sweet blackness, oneness

meet me there

So much love to give

let them know they missin' out

sing again



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

Don't play

A

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

Visit once, guaranteed to visit twice

and if you just believe in the most high

I know you'll be alright



Mama Africa

pure blackness, oneness so rare

so much love to give

and let them know they're missin' out

mama Africa

has so much love to share

sweet blackness, oneness

meet me there

So much love to give

let them know they missin' out

sing again



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 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 so and pure

had to kiss them troubles goodbye bye

no I don't have to like mama Africa, unite



pure blackness, oneness so rare

so much love to give

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



So much so much love

so tell me can you feel it

so much so much

make that visit

so much so much love

Sénégal can you feel it

so much so much

Ow!

So much love to share

I just can't see how we livin' without it

So much love to give

Don't miss don't miss one moment about it

so much love to share

Resist this miss

I really doubt it

so much love so much love to share

oh yeah

pure blackness, oneness so rare

so much love to give

let them know they're missin' out

feelin' it all the time

sweet blackness, oneness

meet me there

better be there

let them know they're missin' out

sing again
