February Burns

Inspired by Assassination of Ali Khamenei on February 28, 2026, and the immediate outbreak of the US-Israel-Iran war. Lines like "Biggest thing since 2001, you know what I mean" ground it in specifics. The hip-hop production gives it a distinct character. The mood: intense, dark, urgent.

[intro] Breaking news, breaking news [verse 1] February twenty-eight, the clock struck late Tehran went silent, then the whole world shaked Supreme leader gone before the dawn could break State media confirmed it, no room for debate Sirens in the city, smoke across the sky Every channel flipped, nobody asking why They already knew the answer, saw it in their eyes When you take the crown, the kingdom multiplies [chorus] February burns, February burns Everybody watching, everybody learns February burns, February burns Once you light the match there ain't no taking turns [verse 2] Five hundred missiles launched before the week was through Two thousand drones, the sky turned black and blue Forty percent aimed at Israel, sixty at the troops Every base on standby, every soldier suited boots Oil jumped to ninety, then a hundred overnight Gas stations changing prices in the morning light CNN and Al Jazeera splitting every screen Biggest thing since 2001, you know what I mean [chorus] February burns, February burns Everybody watching, everybody learns February burns, February burns Once you light the match there ain't no taking turns [bridge] They said it wouldn't happen, said the lines would hold But history don't care what history's been told Now the strait is locked and the ships are waiting cold And the price of peace is worth its weight in gold [chorus] February burns, February burns Everybody watching, everybody learns February burns, February burns Once you light the match there ain't no taking turns [outro] Burns, burns, burns
