This track was born from a real headline: The Pentagon investigation into the strike and the institutional response. The lyrics weave in verified details — Pentagon launched an investigation; DIA provided the coordinates; Coordinates were confirmed outdated. Majik delivers the report through lo-fi, letting the data hit as hard as the beat. Lines like "The Pentagon says it's investigating," anchor the track in specifics that generic coverage misses. The mood — skeptical, measured, waiting — reflects the emotional reality behind the numbers. Every Majik's Studio news track exists to make you feel the story, not just read it.
[verse 1]
The Pentagon says it's investigating,
an internal review is underway,
they confirmed the strike on Minab
and they had a lot to say.
The coordinates were sourced from DIA,
Defense Intelligence Agency records,
but the data set was outdated,
old positions, old accords.
The AI system used for targeting
is now under full review,
how a school replaced a site
is the question passing through.
March two thousand twenty-six,
the deadliest civilian hit,
and the Pentagon says pending,
pending, pending, that's still it.
[chorus]
Pentagon pending, investigation open,
DIA coordinates, the data was broken.
Pentagon pending, investigation open,
one-seven-five and not a word was spoken.
Pentagon pending, investigation open,
DIA coordinates, the data was broken.
[verse 2]
Who approved the final strike?
Who signed off on the attack?
Who received the AI's output
and never bothered looking back?
The DIA fed the coordinates,
the algorithm drew the map,
a human somewhere pressed a button,
but the records show a gap.
Pending means no answers yet,
pending means the file's not closed,
pending means one-seven-five
are still waiting, I suppose.
How long does an investigation take
when the evidence is clear?
A school was hit, the data was old,
the AI system's still right here.
[chorus]
Pentagon pending, investigation open,
DIA coordinates, the data was broken.
Pentagon pending, investigation open,
one-seven-five and not a word was spoken.
Pentagon pending, investigation open,
DIA coordinates, the data was broken.
[bridge]
Pending in March, pending in April,
how many months until a finding?
Every week without an answer
is another week of grinding.
The facts are not in question:
the school was hit, the children died,
the AI chose the target,
the DIA supplied.
What's pending is the part
where someone says what went wrong,
what's pending is accountability,
and it's been pending far too long.
[chorus]
Pentagon pending, investigation open,
DIA coordinates, the data was broken.
Pentagon pending, investigation open,
one-seven-five and not a word was spoken.
Pentagon pending, investigation open,
DIA coordinates, the data was broken.
[outro]
Pending. Still pending.
Minab is still waiting for an answer.
