reborn Lyrics

[Intro]
You did good, $lick
L-L-L-Lonely boy
It’s a Smash
Yeah (Ooh)
Yeah
Yeah

[Verse 1]
Picking up my cross on the way to sorrows (Ah-hah)
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, shoutout to the meds, without ’em, I’d be dead (I’d be dead)
Insecurities steady fucking up my head (Fuck)
I don’t want the love ’cause it always come with pain (Yeah, yeah)
All I want is drugs ’cause it help to numb my veins
Shit, what you really on?
Prolly more than I told her (Okay)
Matte black lungs and a matte black Rover (Skrrt)
Scared to shut my eyes, demons wait for me to sleep (Yeah)
Scared when I’m awake, all I feel anxiety
Bottle low but somehow it is always me that’s lower
I’m pouring up while I throw up, addiction taking over (Oh-wow)
I got a better chance of growing wings before I get sober
I shoot that rock like Odom

[Refrain]
For years I— (I)
For years I dance with the Devil on a bed of spikes (Okay, okay)
I was gambling with my demons and I bet my life (Wow)
(Fuck) Detox, I was praying, seizing every night
I went from sipping dirty Sprite to the blood of Christ
Yeah (Yeah, yeah, woo-oh)
Turn me up (Turn me up), yeah
Turn me up, let’s go, let’s go (Grrrr-ahh)

[Chorus]
Reborn, reborn (Go), reborn (Go), reborn (Go)
(Grr) Reborn (Go), reborn (Go), reborn (Go), reborn (Let’s go)
Reborn, reborn (Go), reborn (Go), reborn (Turn me up), reborn (Grr)
Reborn (Go), reborn (Go, ye-hah)
Back from the motherfucking dead, yeah
Thinkin’ they seen a ghost (Grrr)
Diamonds all over my body, that rope and that noose had to go (Ye)
If they gone up and hate me now, they never loved me before (Ohh-ahh)
All of the bitches wanna date me now, wasn’t fucking me when I was broke (Yeah)

[Verse 2]
Hol’ up, fuck is they yapping about?
Talking they shit from the sidelines (Yeah), I made this shit outta nuttin’ (Oh-oh)
And no, it ain’t come with no guidelines
Whenever I motherfuckin’ drop (Drop)
I’m motherfucking switch up the timelines (Switch, switch), just go off the motherfuckin’ top (Switch)
It’s nothing to switch up the paradigm (Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go)
Racks all up in my pocket, speaking that word like a prophet (Brr)
Can’t stop it, I lock in and drop it
Just to come back and go top it (Go, go)
Love it or hate it, they watched it, I’m taking all of the profit (Brr)
Whatever it motherfuckin’ is, you motherfuckers are not it (Brrrr)
I know that they mad, they pissed, wondering how I ain’t die yet (I ain’t die)
I’m off of these motherfuckin’ scripts, they wondering how I ain’t high yet (High ‘n high)
I came and took what I want, they should grow nuts and go try it (Go try it)
Surrounded by pilots, yeah (Huh)
Yeah (Huh, hol’ up), yeah
Picked up my motherfuckin’ cross, the rest of these boys, they soft (They soft)
Can see on they motherfuckin’ body, they couldn’t handle the cost (Ohh)
I go to war until they dead or my body lined in the chalk (Brr)
Risen up out of that North (Brrrr)

[Chorus]
Reborn, reborn (Go), reborn (Go), reborn (Go)
(Grr) Reborn (Go), reborn (Go), reborn (Go), reborn (Let’s go)
Reborn, reborn (Go), reborn (Go), reborn (Turn me up), reborn (Grr)
Reborn (Go), reborn (Go, ye)
Reborn, reborn (Go), reborn (Go), reborn (Go)
(Grr) Reborn (Go), reborn (Go), reborn (Go), reborn (Let’s go)
Reborn, reborn (Go), reborn (Go), reborn (Turn me up), reborn (Grr)
Reborn (Go), reborn (Go, ye-hah)
Back from the motherfucking dead, yeah
Thinkin’ they seen a ghost (Grrr)
Diamonds all over my body, that rope and that noose had to go (Ye)
If they go up and hate me now, they never loved me before (Ohh-ahh)
All of the bitches wanna date me now, wasn’t fucking me when I was broke (Ye)
Hold up

[Outro: Kyle]
Hey man, it was me-, it’s me, I’m on the road just listening *clears throat* to your, uhh, album and I had a question about a lyric—I wasn’t sure what you said, on, ehh, the second song on your album, you saying: last time you saw your brother, he was dead, then you say something about your dad. I don’t understand what you’re saying? I just called to see, what you, what, you know, clarify what the hell you said, I couldn’t understand it

reborn Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
The intro sets a reflective and ambient tone with subtle audio tags like “You did good, $lick” and “Lonely boy,” suggesting both pride and solitude. Scrim’s repeated “Yeah” vocals act as a warm-up before diving into heavy personal themes. The line “It’s a Smash” subtly hints at commercial success despite the emotional weight of the content, setting the stage for vulnerability and victory to coexist.

[Verse 1]
Scrim opens with biblical symbolism, likening his struggles to carrying a cross, instantly invoking themes of suffering and sacrifice. He speaks candidly about relying on medication to stay alive, battling deep-rooted insecurities, and using drugs as a coping mechanism. His fear of both sleep and wakefulness paints a haunting picture of persistent mental anguish. Imagery of addiction, emotional numbness, and fatalism emerges strongly here, especially with his metaphor about growing wings before getting sober, illustrating how distant recovery felt at one point.

[Refrain]
The refrain highlights Scrim’s prolonged struggle with addiction and spiritual conflict. His mention of “dancing with the Devil on a bed of spikes” underscores the torment and recklessness of his lifestyle. The turning point comes when he references his transformation from sipping codeine-laced drinks to embracing the “blood of Christ,” signaling a dramatic spiritual and emotional rebirth. The refrain transitions from despair to defiance, setting up the chorus’s triumphant tone.

[Chorus]
The chorus acts as both a mantra and declaration of survival. The repeated “reborn” chant mirrors a resurrection anthem, amplified by aggressive ad-libs like “Go” and “Grr.” Scrim celebrates emerging from darkness—symbolically back from the dead—and shedding symbols of suicide and despair like “that rope and that noose.” The shift from being ignored while broke to being desired now emphasizes themes of transformation, revenge, and self-validation.

[Verse 2]
This verse showcases Scrim’s confidence and sharp tongue. He rejects critics and undercuts any notion of overnight success, reinforcing that his rise came without help or a rulebook. Flexing lyrical agility, he blends religious imagery, street hustle, and philosophical introspection. The “picked up my cross” line returns, showing consistency in the rebirth theme. He asserts dominance over weaker peers who couldn’t bear the emotional or spiritual cost of his path. The verse is both a challenge to doubters and a celebration of personal and artistic resurrection.

[Chorus]
Repetition of the chorus reinforces the central message—Scrim has been reborn, stronger and untouchable. The added emphasis on external validation (“all of the bitches wanna date me now”) contrasts with earlier moments of despair, highlighting how survival and success have shifted others’ perception of him. There’s a sense of triumph, but also cynicism, as he acknowledges who truly supported him during his lowest points.

[Outro: Kyle]
The outro features a voicemail from someone named Kyle, who is confused about a lyric in Scrim’s album. The casual tone contrasts sharply with the intensity of the rest of the song, and its inclusion suggests Scrim’s lyrical depth and ambiguity may not be fully understood even by those close to him. It also hints at how layered and personal his writing is, reinforcing that his transformation—both physical and spiritual—can’t be easily explained or summarized.
