Keri Hilson & Akon - Oh Africa Lyrics
I know that we have to take it to the goal ’cause everyone is depending on we
see we ain’t got nowhere to go but, it’s our destiny
we’re choosing nowhere, 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
OH AFRICA
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”
www.musicloversgroup.com
we’re choosing nowhere, 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
OH AFRICA
This our time to show, our time to fly, our time to be inside the sky
our time to so, our time of song
the last one in football
Lyrics by Adel Ali

Surprised me that he said “football” and not “soccer”, and also that they used th GB flag and not an England one. But a great song that should motivate all of them. I would never have thought an American would do a song for football or the South Africans. England FTW!

im a candian and i am still proud of everyone and this song is so g8t because it creates unity no matter what race you are and should be the theme song for fifa world cup instead of waving flags and it is for a pepsi commercial , check the commercial out it is even better
June 18th, 2010 at 4:04 pm
Akon is my favorite artiste,at first,fifa would be used Akon officially,cause Akon is an african man already.
