“What is 125?” It’s not a joke—but it sure sounds like one.

This song started because someone decided a 125% tariff was just another number they could throw into headlines like it’s a sequel to Fast & Furious. The way global policy is handled today feels less like diplomacy and more like a viral meme challenge with a price tag.

So I asked myself:

Is 125 a tax rate or a punchline?

A trade strategy or just someone’s ego gone digital?

I wrote this track not to explain trade law, but to say this:

When the real cost hits our wallets, don’t expect us to clap. Expect us to clap back.

And if “economic policy” now includes drama, sarcasm, and absurdity—

well, good news. I brought all three.
