Walking through the dirty streets of Jersey
Retired from the game, took another path
Destination ninety five dirty south
Who ever thought I'd cross this line
Born and raised in Africa trying to make a scene
Where the Devil tried to realter my route
This is the ultimate journey of your life
I traveled thro the ghetto's of Asia
I traveled thro the ghetto's of America
Just another journey, another journey into time
And about that time you said I couldn't make you mine
The best way to get to you is by this music thing
I traveled thro the ghetto's all over
Creator took me by the hand and led the way
I'm tryin' not to reincorinate my past
Akon, c'mon
'Cause there's so much in this world that I have to see
The wagon's rolling jump on it and follow me
Just another journey
And about that day you kicked me out onto the bricks
(Trying to make a scene)
Just another journey
(Let's take it to the streets)
Who ever thought I'd cross this line
Prepare to suffer forty days and forty nights
C'mon now
(Let's take it to the streets)
What about that time you said I wouldn't make a dime
(Let's take it to the streets)
Where the weak die and the strong survive
And you might believe
To make the story short that's why I'm here today
Just another journey, another journey into time
I traveled thro the ghetto's of Africa
What about that day you said I wouldn't amount to shit
Where Akon's treated like royalty
Destination to the bank overseas
Just another journey, another journey into time
A dollar to my name searchin' for that chee
Just another journey
Who ever thought I'd cross this line
(Let's take it to the streets)
Strap on your boots 'cause you got a long hike
