The Undercurrent
 

look!
she wearing dat kinda shirt
look!
u can even tell by the way dat she walk
look!
she is wearing her Che Guevara shirt
she up with the trend
2day- she a revolutionary friend

& him now
him is takin the time to please
him is going on a big big treat
him is getting something
from germany to keep
RAF- the shirt say-R A F
he don't know what e mean

it is the undercurrent
but nowadays it is a party
whatever the fashion
the politics i go carry
critical i go trend
my opinion i go bend
to the groove
of some stylish gym shoes
the undercurrent
commot a de room
the undercurrent
fit de bride & de groom
the undercurrent
i wouldn't say who does most
cause honestly don't we all just does
commodity

heutzutage
kaufen wir statement von der stange
es dauert nicht lange
bis etwas fuss fasst
sich platz verschafft
den markt ueberrascht
noch subtiler, plakativer, konfrontativ
herrlich, alles so schoen primitiv
back to the roots
versteht sich
von free tibet bis elvis lebt, nich
von om schoen bunt aufgedruckt
bis zum halbstarken der recht weit ausspuckt
weil ankotzen tut uns das system
drum heutzutage vorgefertigt und bequem
mit markenware lass es sehen
this season we’re launching our newest dope
we call it revolutionary vogue

it is the revolutionary wear
the 45 euro a piece protest care
the undercurrent which became stale
the revolution televised finally
broadcasted & betrayed
now the undercurrent
it is easy to belong
the undercurrent
which nowadays moves along
the undercurrent
which no longer is a test
undercurrent?
Hell no
it's just the fashion industry at its best

it is the undercurrent
but nowadays it is a party
whatever the fashion
the politics i go carry
critical i go trend
my opinion i go bend
to the groove
of some stylish gym shoes
the undercurrent
commot a de room
the undercurrent
fit de bride & de groom
the undercurrent
i wouldn't say who does most
cause honestly don't we all
just does comodity
