Level Lyrics by Victor AD & Babyboy AV

I've always been fascinated by the raw emotion and unbridled passion that pours out of Nigerian music, and Victor AD's latest collaboration with Babyboy AV is no exception. Level is an anthem that embodies the resilience and determination that defines the African experience, a triumphant declaration of overcoming hardship and scarcity to achieve success. Born from a place of struggle, this song is evidence of the power of faith, self-belief, and perseverance.

Level's lyrics are a poignant reflection of the artists' journey from the depths of hardship to the heights of success. The opening lines, "What's the level / Tell me what's the Mara / Remember those days when we dey on zero (En kini ma fagbo) / Now we we dey worry worry how e be them (Oshey)," set the tone for a narrative that is both deeply personal and universally relatable. The reference to "those days when we dey on zero" is a powerful reminder of the struggles that many Nigerians face, from poverty and scarcity to the constant barrage of negativity from those who would seek to bring them down.

One of the most striking aspects of Level is its unapologetic rejection of negativity. The artists are unflinching in their refusal to allow the opinions and doubts of others to define their path. "Na una business, we go dey give them / I prayed for days like this / At a time like this yea / And that's something more than gold / That is precious more than silver," they declare, evidence of the power of faith and self-belief in overcoming adversity. This message is one that resonates deeply with many Nigerians, who have long been conditioned to expect the worst from life.

But Level is not just a song about overcoming hardship, it's also a celebration of personal growth and self-care. The lines "I sanitize dem / I no gum body / This is healthcare / Personal hygiene personal hygiene / Make dem no put body / And no level for the enemies / I fuck dem up No apologies I say na Redeye" are a powerful reminder of the importance of protecting one's mental and emotional well-being in the face of adversity. In a culture where mental health is often stigmatized, Level is a refreshing declaration of the importance of self-care and personal hygiene.

As I listen to Level, I'm struck by the sense of pride and accomplishment that permeates the song. This is evidence of the power of Nigerian music to transcend borders and speak to a universal human experience. Level is more than just a song, it's a movement, a declaration of the power of faith, self-belief, and perseverance in the face of adversity. And as Victor AD and Babyboy AV continue to spread their message of hope and resilience, I have no doubt that Level will become an anthem for generations to come.

As I finish listening to Level, I'm left with a sense of awe and admiration for the artists who created it. This is a song that will stay with me for a long time, a reminder of the power of music to inspire and uplift us in the darkest of times. And as I look to the future, I'm excited to see where Level will take us, will it become a rallying cry for Nigerians and Africans around the world, a declaration of our collective resilience and determination in the face of adversity?
