The song "Undercover" by
Samra is about the contrasts in his life and the experiences he has had. He talks about his successes, like the many top-ten hits and sold records, but also about the consequences that came with them, like the many criminal charges and prison stays. He shows that despite the money and fame, he still struggles with inner conflicts and problems. The line "I can buy the world, my pile of money will be enough until I go. But the scars I carry on my heart" illustrates that material wealth is not everything and that he still has emotional scars to deal with despite the success.

With the line "We cry tears undercover", he emphasizes that they hide their feelings and weaknesses and continue despite difficulties. The song is an expression of Samra's duality between success and the resulting consequences, between the glamour of fame and the hidden pain.
