Sugarboi on this one
[Intro – Spoken & Chants]
Ehn ehn!
Libya shagala, fire dey burn o
From Tripoli to Benghazi, people dey cry o
But we go rise!
One love, one sound, Afrobeat for peace!
[Chorus – Afrobeat Melody]
Libya shagala, e no be today (eh-eh)
But we still dey pray, make light show the way (oh Lord)
Trouble full ground, but we no go run away (no way!)
We go build am up, better life come to stay
(Oh oh oh) ليبيا نار و دموع، لكن في أمل
(Yeah yeah) مع بعض نعيش، نرجع الحُلم الأزل
[Verse 1 – Afrobeat Groove]
See mama dey hustle for the bread
Papa lost job, but still dey beg
Children dey waka for desert red
All for better life, but na pain dem get
Gunshot echo for the air
But music still dey heal despair
We go dance, we go fight for peace
Afrobeat go carry our grief
[Pre-Chorus – Harmony & Horns]
No more war, we need direction
Love and truth, be the real weapon
Raise your voice, raise your nation
Time don come for the liberation
[Chorus – Afrobeat Melody]
Libya shagala, e no be today (eh-eh)
But we still dey pray, make light show the way (oh Lord)
Trouble full ground, but we no go run away (no way!)
We go build am up, better life come to stay
(Oh oh oh) ليبيا نار و دموع، لكن في أمل
(Yeah yeah) مع بعض نعيش، نرجع الحُلم الأزل
[Bridge – Call & Response]
✊ Who go fight for the youth? (We go rise!)
✊ Who go bring back the truth? (We go rise!)
✊ Make we talk, no dey mute (We go rise!)
✊ Afrobeat be the root (We go rise!)
[Verse 2 – Afro-Rap Fusion]
From Sabha to Misrata, na same cry
But unity go make we touch the sky
Omo Libya, no let hope die
Even if the ground dry, we go fly
Music na power, rhythm no lie
We dey shout loud make the world hear why
Peace no be weakness, love na try
Libya must shine, we go testify!
[Chorus – Final Vibe]
Libya shagala, e no be today (eh-eh)
But we still dey pray, make light show the way (oh Lord)
Trouble full ground, but we no go run away (no way!)
We go build am up, better life come to stay
(Oh oh oh) ليبيا نار و دموع، لكن في أمل
(Yeah yeah) مع بعض نعيش، نرجع الحُلم الأزل
[Outro – Fade with Drum & Sax]
Libya stand up... Afrobeat dey call you
Freedom no far... we go jam ‘til morning
