My Life In Libya Lyrics

The human tragedy of migrants trying to get to Europe

Thousands of people fleeing poverty and conflict in the Middle East and Africa

undertaking perilous journeys in a bid to start new lives

This week we're investigating the experience of migrants, those who've failed

UN refugees, asylum seekers, rand of cannabis

Thank you for my life in Libya

Thank you for my life in Tripoli

Thank you for my life in Sahara Desert

Sahara Desert, Sahara Desert

Thank you for my life in Sabah

Thank you for my life in Gatron

Thank you for my life in Tripoli

In White House, in Tripoli

Sheikh of Maine, no they see I'm

Sheikh of UN, no they watch I'm

They just they watch Africa used to die

Just because we watching you

Sheikh of Maine, no they see I'm

Sheikh of UN, no they watch I'm

They just they watch Africa used to die

Leaders of Congo, no to die and go

They say no more slave trade

But slave trade is going on

Somewhere in Africa, in Africa, in Africa

Six hours it passed and no one to come

That is why refugees want to come home

Out of 250, now only me will survive

You don't know oh my love

I am thanking my God oh

Peace my love

Oh my love, you are my love

Oh my love

I am thanking my God oh

Peace my love

Oh my love, you are my love

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Dio Tibene, Benedicao

Dio Tibene, Benedicao

Iyo no capish Italian but

Iyo capish Italian poco poco

Dio Tibene, Benedicao

Dio Tibene, Benedicao

Iyo no capish Italian but

Iyo capish Italian poco poco

Cracker

No be stupid

I'm a fly away

This one no be newspaper reporter

You say then tell me

You say I need that for newspaper

I take my ass

Fire one for me and my friends

Sanctuary has gone for all of you

You hear say refugee cram for you

Now my heart's gone to me and my friend

Just for life

Just one moment

Me and my friends thanking God oh

Me and my palms thanking God oh

I forgive you for Libya bro

I swear that I never left toilet

If you see me for Libya, be lamenting

But I know someone there is not going to enter

It's all right refugees themselves

You hear me

Now you know me

25,000 migrants have reached Italy this year

According to the International Organization for Migration

But others have been caught by the Libyan forces

And now await deportation

In detention centers like this one

I am thanking my God oh

Bismillah

Oh my Lord

You are my Lord

Oh my Lord

I am thanking my God oh

There are an estimated 45.8 million people

Living in modern slavery across 167 different countries

They fall into three general categories

Children held in the commercial sex trade

Adults held in the commercial sex trade

And any other laborer made to work through force, fraud or coercion
