Lyrics

Your ass is next
There ain't much of an angle
Your phone's a rectangle
But the violence is real
Even though
Sam will send them a Venmo
Some warlord criminal
Or we complain that the Wi-Fi is slow

Onry ole Henry
Haiti's in trouble
Big trouble for being so small
They're saying that you may have
Took care of the last one, well
Everything propped up eventually falls

Lyric annotations

Ariel Henry, the acting Prime Minster and President of Haiti during early 2024 has many allegations of being involved with the 2021 assassination of Jovenel Moïse. Suspicion arose when it was found he was in contact with a main suspect named Joseph-Félix Badio before and after the murder. He fired multiple people that accused him or investigated his connection, claiming that it was not incriminating. Rodolphe Jaar, who confessed to financing and planning the assassination, claimed Badio called Henry an ally. Further stating he would rule after the death and help them get away with it. Gang violence in Port-au-Prince (resulting in 5,626 deaths) while Henry was in Kenya prevented him from returning. He was forced to resign in April. Despite holding office for 3-4 years, Ariel Henry was never a publicly elected official.

America sends a great deal of aid to Haiti, through both money contributions 21.3% of all American aid send to a specific country was send to Haiti in 2024. 48.9% of the $591 million was spent through US-based implementing partners. Reporting shows only $240 thousand was spent on military costs.
