Overall Meaning

In the song "Babylon," Tokan expresses his frustration with the current state of the world and his desire to break free from its constraints. He questions why the world is against him, even though he has done what he wants. The black and white image described in the lyrics represents the monotony of everyday life, and Tokan feels it is time to break free from it.


He proclaims that he will come onto the scene and shatter it into pieces. He encourages listeners to check out his latest tracks and describes himself as a product of experiences and passions. Tokan acknowledges that he used to pretend to be someone else but now embraces his true self. He reflects on the years of feeling lost and trapped in a labyrinth where everyone loses their way. He questions whether he should choose his own path or follow others.


Tokan urges listeners to take life seriously and emphasizes that only the brave emerge victorious. He references taking chances and playing cards with fate, where one either wins or gets defeated. He acknowledges that he is venturing into new paths, exploring life, and enjoying it as much as he can until he runs out of time. He challenges anyone who thinks they can rap like him, suggesting they collaborate and form a group. He criticizes the current trend of rappers imitating and copying each other's styles, asserting that he is different and steadfastly rooted in the underground scene.


He confidently states that he will rise above those who would diminish his shine. He emphasizes the importance of being vigilant to protect his family and show disdain towards traitors. Tokan's love for his family is unwavering, focusing on loyalty rather than material gain. He mentions the Studio Muranów, a symbolic place representing his journey and elevation despite its physical location on the third floor. He wishes for Babylon, symbolizing the corrupted world, to burn down. He continues to create and foster fire in the studio because it is a part of his genes. He chooses to forget the past and focus on what needs to be done, listing the numerous tasks ahead but indicating that they would take too long to enumerate.


Tokan goes on to express his desire to become a legend like Biggie, Tupac, Kendrick, and J. Cole. He muses about raping the microphone and the daily fixated focus on rap bars as if he were a real criminal. He mentions how his wings were clipped, but he keeps flying regardless, wondering if that made him a vandal. He reveals his original aspiration of making music and releasing underground tracks, which his friends appreciate because he always manages to break boundaries. He proudly proclaims that this is how things are done, as he releases his first album while already halfway through writing his third.


Tokan reflects on those who believed he had stopped, clarifying that he had actually taken a step back to gain momentum. Now, he spreads his wings fresh and lively like a ticking clock. The repetition of "real talk" emphasizes his commitment to authenticity, even if others try to hide him behind people who may take a bullet for him. He anticipates labels calling him once they hear his first record and concludes with the phrase "Brother, I told you it would be a blast," asserting the explosive impact of his work.


Overall, the lyrics of "Babylon" showcase Tokan's frustration with societal constraints and his determination to break free and make a unique mark in the rap scene. He expresses his confidence in his abilities, addresses the current state of the genre, and sets his sights on becoming a legendary artist while staying true to himself and his underground roots.
