Victor AD - Level (ft. Babyboy AV) (Lyrics) - MPmania

Read the full text lyrics for “Level” from Victor AD, Babyboy AV.

“Level” functions as both a prayer and a celebration of upward mobility. The song opens with a question that frames the entire narrative: “What’s the level / Tell me what’s the Mara.” The term “Mara,” a Yoruba slang for “matter” or “issue,” grounds the track in a distinctly Nigerian linguistic register. The artists then recall their past struggles: “Remember those days when we dey on zero”. The phrase “En kini ma fagbo” translates roughly to “what will I eat?”—a stark reminder of the scarcity that once defined their reality.

The pre-chorus shifts to gratitude and reflection: “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”. The imagery of gold and silver elevates the value of their current success beyond mere material wealth. The line “All the days and night / Wey guy man no sleep yea / All the stories yet untold / On this cold and lonely road” captures the sacrifices made during their rise. Victor AD has built his career on music that serves as the “voice of the hustler,” blending Afrobeats with motivational themes of struggle, faith, and success.

The second verse introduces a defensive, almost combative tone: “Now dem dey kolobi / Till them wan drain all my energy / I sanitize dem I no gum body”. “Kolobi” is a Nigerian slang term suggesting persistent harassment or nagging. The narrator establishes boundaries, declaring “This is healthcare / Personal hygiene personal hygiene”—a metaphorical assertion that protecting one’s peace is a form of self-care. The line “And no level for the enemies” reinforces the theme of elevation beyond the reach of detractors.
