For What

[In] Hear mi now Ship horn crying inna dark water Missile fly, podium talk Same smoke, same strait Same question [SelectorCuts] For what No plan Tax money No exit [V1] Three ships hit, Strait get hot Breaking news say eighty-plus shot Radar site, small boat, command got cracked CENTCOM statement, whole world track They say message, they say signal They say freedom pon di water legal They say Iran play dangerous game Route control with a ceasefire name Fine Maybe threat need answer tonight Maybe commerce need shield, maybe force got bite But mi asking slow while di siren still cut If dis a message Then for what? If peace was signed, why di smoke still rise? If strength so strong, why di same surprise? If deal so smart, why di ships get struck? If victory real, why we back here stuck? [Hk] For what? Dem send fire inna night For what? Same old war, same old fight Taxman bleed, missile fly Strongman grin while di truth ask why For what? For what? For what? More smoke in di strait For what? Same bill at di gate Message loud, but di plan stay shut Tell mi now For what? [SelectorCuts] Powerful strikes Same status quo Half in Half out [V2] Treaty got signed, cameras flashed bright Big man smiled like he bottled di fight Vance hit tour like di war turn sweet Said old fools failed, now di new crew elite Cool friends made, handshake glow Then boom, boom, back to di same old show If diplomacy won, why di bombers still run? If talks so cool, why di fire not done? Every strike called message, every message need more That ain't peace, that's a loop with a flag at di door Bombs don't become strategy cause podium say strong A press release cyaan make wrong turn long Mi nah blame di sailor, nah blame di crew Dem get orders from di suits with no follow-through But leadership sell thunder when di map look cut And di people pay di invoice For what? [Hk] For what? Dem send fire inna night For what? Same old war, same old fight Taxman bleed, missile fly Strongman grin while di truth ask why For what? For what? For what? More smoke in di strait For what? Same bill at di gate Message loud, but di plan stay shut Tell mi now For what? [Bridge - Just Asking] If di goal is peace, where di exit door? If di goal is order, why we buying more war? If di goal is status quo, who broke di floor? If di plan is working, why di plan need more? If every answer is another night raid If every failure gets a stronger parade If every headline say strength got cut Then mi just asking questions For what? [SelectorCuts] Just asking Where di exit No answer For what [V3] War machine hungry, it chew through cash Poor man budget turn missile flash Family grind while di fuel bill climb Then suits say patience, this takes time Time fi what? Another loop pon di map? Another strongman speech with no bridge back? Another victory lap before di deal collapse? Another “limited strike” with unlimited tax? They say Iran want money, want control of di lane Trump want out but still dropping flame So we get half-in, half-out, no-root war One foot home, one foot kicking down door Babylon love when di question get drowned By flag, by fear, by explosion sound But sound system cut through di government rut Drop di needle pon di lie For what? [FHk] For what? Dem send fire inna night For what? Same old war, same old fight Taxman bleed, missile fly Strongman grin while di truth ask why For what? For what? For what?
