Born Again by Ricky L
I was born in a system
That doesn't give a fuck about you nor me nor the lies
Don't be a victim of things I do to survive
Because I always knew
Any good you Babilonians are

Ik was geboren in een system
Dat geen reet geeft om jou of mij of de leugens
Wees geen slachtoffer van de dingen die ik doen om te overleven
Omdat ik altijd geweten heb




Dat jullie, Babilioniërs, niet goed zijn
(Herhaal)

Overall Meaning

The song Born Again by Ricky L sheds light on the struggles of growing up in a system that is faulty and does not care about the people living in it. According to the lyrics, the system is full of lies, and the government and people in power do not have the best interests of the people at heart. The song encourages people not to be victims of the system, to fight against the things that oppress them, and to strive for a better life.


The lyrics of the song are filled with emotion and speak to the experiences of people who are disenfranchised and marginalized. The words "Don't be a victim of the things I do to survive" suggest that sometimes people who are struggling may resort to doing things that are not morally right simply to survive. Ricky L's message is clear: we need to fight against the system and do what is right to make a better life for ourselves.


Overall, the song is a powerful commentary on the challenges faced by those who are living in a system that doesn't care or is corrupt. It is a call to action for people to take control of their lives and work towards a brighter future, free from oppression and lies.

I was supposed to go to bed over an hour ago but I can't stop listening to this song. It's amazing and I had never even heard it before.

@Starlight05

Soooo underrated :(

@Akazii98

This song is great but I think after so many years it needs a refresh or at least a remix that you can play in the club or in the car. Great memories with this song❤️
