Resolution

This track was born from a real headline: Congressional push for ceasefire resolution in March 2026, with bipartisan voices breaking ranks to demand an end to the US-Iran war. Muckraker's hip-hop production gives the story the weight of a front-page exclusive — journalism you can feel in your chest. Lines like "Thirteen senators broke the line on a Monday afternoon," anchor the track in specifics that generic coverage misses. The mood — defiant, urgent, commanding — 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] Thirteen senators broke the line on a Monday afternoon, Said we can't keep writing checks to a war that ends too soon For the ones who come home broken, too late for the ones who don't, They drafted up a resolution, said we need a ceasefire vote. C-SPAN cameras rolling, gallery packed to standing room, Veterans in the balcony wearing pins that read "no boom." The senator from Michigan took the mic at half past two, Said I got a thousand letters, every one says we are through. Fort Bragg mothers, Detroit teachers, nurses out of Baltimore, All asking the same question: what are we still fighting for? Oil at a hundred ten, gas lines stretching down the block, And the only thing that's ticking is the deficit clock. They spent eleven billion in the first week, that's a fact, Twenty billion by the second, and we ain't getting it back. So I'm standing on the Capitol steps with ink still on the bill, And I'm telling every colleague it's time to use your will. [chorus] Call the vote, call the vote, Every life is hanging by a thread and by a note. Call the vote, call the vote, Ceasefire on the table, read the words that freedom wrote. Call the vote, call the vote, We the people speaking through the leaders that we chose. [verse 2] The filibuster started Thursday, went sixteen hours straight, A freshman rep from Georgia said enough with the debate. She read the names of soldiers, every single one aloud, Then she read the names of children underneath a silent crowd. The whip count's shifting daily, pressure building from the base, Town halls overflowing, voters getting in their face. The defense lobby burning through a hundred million more, Buying ads on every channel saying we can't end this war. But the polls say sixty-seven percent want troops back home, That's Republicans and Democrats, that's red state to the bone. The speaker said she'd table it, keep it off the floor, But a discharge petition's climbing, forty signatures and more. So we calling every office, jamming every single line, Democracy ain't spectating, it's showing up on time. And when the history books open to this chapter of the fight, They'll say the people led the Congress to do what was right. [chorus] Call the vote, call the vote, Every life is hanging by a thread and by a note. Call the vote, call the vote, Ceasefire on the table, read the words that freedom wrote. Call the vote, call the vote, We the people speaking through the leaders that we chose. [bridge] Left and right don't matter when the body bags arrive, Left and right don't matter when you're praying they're alive. The aisle disappears when a mother gets the call, So put the resolution up and let the chamber fall On the right side, on the right side, on the right side of it all. Vote yes for the living, vote yes before we fall. [chorus] Call the vote, call the vote, Every life is hanging by a thread and by a note. Call the vote, call the vote, Ceasefire on the table, read the words that freedom wrote. Call the vote, call the vote, We the people speaking through the leaders that we chose. [outro] Call the vote... call the vote... Democracy is not a noun, it's what we do. Call the vote... call the vote... The people spoke, now Congress, it's on you.
