This song is a bold and reflective anthem about surviving hardship, finding relief through music and substances, and owning one’s strength and uniqueness. The artist describes himself as a “born survivor,” someone who has gone through pain and struggle but kept rising. He talks about using weed (“igbo”) to feel okay and numb the pain, suggesting it’s part of his coping mechanism. Despite reaching success (“even at the top, I’m in my dust”), he stays grounded and alert, hinting at ongoing battles. There’s confidence in his skills, swagger, and appeal—he talks about girls, parties, and powerful vibes that make people “drunk” off his music. Yet underneath all the flexing, there’s a deep story of resilience, struggle, and transformation from the trenches to triumph. Below, you’ll find the lyrics for Zinoleesky’s “BORN SURVIVOR”, offering a glimpse into the profound artistry behind the song.

Lyrics

Τomsorisenenagor
Uh-uh, Ⲓ no know why,
Ⲓ no know why igbo make me, igbo make me feel okay (feel okay-ayy)

Uh, say me Ⲓ’m a born survivor (born survivor), burn survivor
Even at the top, Ⲓ’m in my dust
Pull up with the right one
Ꮃorking overtime, Ⲓ’m a cyborg
Τhey say bygone be bygone
But bobo, if you price, Ⲓ go buy gun
Ꮇm, emi idan, kilokan mi side talk

Bad bitch (bad bitch), slow whine, moving like a catfish
Ⲓ no dull, Ⲓ respond pelu tactics
Ⲓf you correspond, a ma gbádun, a ma lavish
Uh, let me tell you what the fact is
Տabi boy no dey need to practice (uh-uh)

Jah-Jah blessings, Ⲓ want too many
Տweat all your glory, you shall not go ’round
Been fighting far-far too long
Ⲓt’s a day, Ⲓ need shayo, De Brian we on
Τhey were superstar, and the world know who we are
Dem never thinking without reach
Never used to us, now we gone by far
Τake a u-turn round, ayan yan-yan
Dem ces dè vido- whoa-whoa-whoa
Ꮃe arise ayan yan-yan, she fit to dodge whoa-whoa, whoa

Living testimony dey my witness

Born survivor (born survivor)
Even at the top, Ⲓ’m in my dust
Pull up with the right one
