Journey

Akon

Come on

This is the ultimate journey of your life

Where the weak die and the strong survive

Prepare to suffer forty days and forty nights

Strap on your boots 'cause you got a long ride

Just another journey, another journey into time

Come on, now

Just another journey, who'd ever thought I'd cross this line?

O-o-o-oh

Walking through the dirty streets of Jersey

A dollar to my name searchin' for that key

I'm tryin' not to reincarnate my past

Retired from the game, took another path

Destination '95 Dirty South

Where the Devil tried to re-alter my route

Creator took me by the hand and led the way-ay

To make the story short, that's why I'm here today

Just another journey, another journey into time

Another journey into time

Just another journey, who'd ever thought I'd cross this line?

Cross this line, o-o-o-oh

What about that day you said I wouldn't amount to shit?

And about that day you kicked me out into 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 Akon's treated like royalty

'Cause there's so much in this world that I have to see

The wagon's rolling jump on it and follow me, yeah

Born and raised in Africa tryin' 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

Akon

Come on

(Let's take it to the street) I traveled through the ghettos of America

(Let's take it to the street) I traveled through the ghettos of Africa

(Let's take it to the street) I traveled through the ghettos of Asia

(Let's take it to the street) I traveled through the ghettos all over

It's just another journey, another journey into time

Another journey into time

Just another journey, who'd ever thought I'd cross this line?

Cross that line, o-o-o-oh, in my journey, yeah
