"PARAMILITÄR" is a song by Gent and Kollegah, two German rappers. The lyrics of the song mainly revolve around themes of power, dominance, and the street lifestyle. The song begins with Gent stating that he no longer raps about run-down high-rises but now collaborates with the king (Kollegah). He is described as the crown successor in a luxurious setting. Gent also boasts about disappearing in the mist when confronted by the police, highlighting his ability to evade trouble. He further mentions his desire for peaceful times but continues to make progress in his career, unlike others who are stagnant. Gent emphasizes his authenticity and staying true to himself, unchanging how God created him. The streets shaped and made him who he is, and to be an alpha male, one must constantly protect their throne. Kollegah takes over the verses by stating that he navigates through life as if it were a fighting octagon. He had a big mouth back in the day, just as if he were a gang leader in the block. The reference to American popstar songs reflects the attention and scrutiny he receives everywhere he goes. Standing on a loft balcony, he showcases a lavish lifestyle with a cigar in his mouth. He compares his elevated status to a high rank in the video game Tekken. However, as he continued to rise, he noticed individuals who worshiped Baphomet, a figure associated with Satanism. Kollegah exhibits arrogance and disregard for rules, speeding past the police without a scratch. The lyrics also touch on the concept of honor and loyalty. Alpha refers to the code of honor and integrity, even unto death like a samurai committing harakiri. Kollegah considers himself a paramilitary figure with access to weapons and money. He mentions his ability to assemble a submachine gun effortlessly, which would be challenging for ordinary individuals. Kollegah describes his constant lookout for potential enemies, seeing everything as if he were a radar screen. He reflects on his journey from being involved in street drugs to now controlling a street pharmaceutical company. Kollegah concludes by highlighting his wealth, weapons, and his position as a millionaire, depicting himself as an alpha male affiliated with a paramilitary organization. Overall, the song portrays an image of power, dominance, and maintaining one's status in the streets. It reflects the rappers' experiences and aspirations within the street lifestyle and their rise to success.
