Babylonia!
I was born in a system that doesn\'t give a f***
About you nor me nor the life[...]
Don\'t be a victim of things I do too survive;
Cause I won\'t wish you any good, you Babylonians. x2
I was born in a system that doesn\'t give a f***
About you nor me nor the life[...]
Don\'t be a victim of things I do too survive;
Cause I won\'t wish you any good, you Babylonians.
I was born in a system that doesn\'t give a f***
About you nor me nor the life[...]
Don\'t be a victim of things I do too survive;
Cause I won\'t wish you any good, you Babylonians.
Ha!
I was born in a system that doesn\'t give a f***
About you nor me nor the life[...]
Don\'t be a victim of things I do too survive;
Cause I won\'t wish you any good, you Babylonïans. x2
The lyrics of the song "Born Again" by Ricky L M:CK express the artist's frustration with the societal system that he was born into, which he feels does not care about him or anyone else's life. The repeated line "I was born in a system that doesn't give a f***" highlights the theme of how people are born into a system that they cannot control and that they must navigate to survive. The use of the word "Babylonians" is significant as it refers to the Biblical story of the Tower of Babel where people tried to defy God, and as a result, there was a confusion of languages that made communication difficult. Rick L M:CK is using this reference to convey that society has become so convoluted and confusing that it has become challenging to distinguish between good and bad, and one should not rely on anyone else for help.
The chorus of the song warns others not to become a victim of the things he does to survive as he will not wish them any good. The use of the word Babylonians in this context implies that people should not rely on anyone else to make their way in the world, just as the people of Babel tried to work together to build their own way to heaven. The song is a call to action for listeners to take responsibility for their own lives and not allow society to dictate their actions or beliefs.

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❤️
