Remedy & Ellis Martin: This is a letter to my dead hommies I gotta go, everybody wanna know if I'm snitch is or shut the door This is a letter to my dead hommies, Oh what to do, if they never get a clue that this killer is on the loose. Pretty Boy: It was this, I was chilling caught up in a bliss Not even imagining that a life can be taken like this I was chilling with my boy thinking it was all good Reminiscing on the stories that we share up in the hood And he's a little hommie man Just caught up in a lot of trash not even knowing that his life could be taken in a flash. But any ways little hommies faith reminded Within ten seconds I heard a boom and I went blind and Not blind seriously had to be seen clinically Looked to my left and my boy was destroyed physically Rushed him to the E.R. struggling for breath Turns out that my boy had nine shots pumped up in his chest And I'm so shocked because it happened so fast Slowly I felt my heart mold up into a cast And I look up to my past Flashing back so fast And I'm bummed upon the fact That many lives don't last. Remedy & Ellis Martin: This is a letter to my dead hommies I gotta go, everybody wanna know if I'm snitch is or shut the door... This is a letter to my dead hommies, Oh what to do, if they never get a clue that this killer is on the loose... KC Sling: I seen the car roll up heard the shots clak clak clak I know who shot the homie should I retaliate back? Should I run up on him pull the gun up on him and lay him on his back Nahhh that's not right I'm not about that black on black I'm all about peace should I go confess to the police? Or can I keep the peace up in my streets without giving up identities? If you think about it I'd be doin' my hood a good deed 'liminatin threats from the hood yeeeaaah thats what really need I can't be no snitch the hood won't respect that See thats just the code of these streets I ain't tryna' get clapped back or maybe I should just keep quite keep my mouth shut I ain't tryna take a step out the door and get shot up See you was my homie, my road dawg, my rider for life If I don't speak up now its like I killed you that night You was always hood smart now your brother need you If you was caught up in this quandary what would you choose? Remedy & Ellis Martin: This is a letter to my dead hommies I gotta go, everybody wanna know if I'm snitch is or shut the door This is a letter to my dead hommies, Oh what to do, if they never get a clue that this killer is on the loose. This is a letter to my dead hommies I gotta go, everybody wanna know if I'm snitch or shut the door This is a letter to my dead hommies, Oh what to do, if they never get a clue that this killer is on the loose. Brando: What do you suppose to do if it’s all on you? You’re accompanied by ya homie at rest in ya room, Askin’ you why why why, didn’t you do it? It’s like absolvin’ the crime, dissolvin’ into the fluid. Lost in this worl of lies, blend into the fabric fibers, The world may not hear it, but he’s roarin’ like a tiger… Tigers. Powerful hunters equipped with sharp teeth, Beaneath strong jaws with agility defies the laws, of gravity… But at that single moment when a hunter pulls the trigger, gazing through the scope, That allurement in nature has no hope… Listen, vigilantly to the roars of spirituality, Why we do the things we do in this reality, Reactin’ versus respondin’, Reactin' versus Respondin' What will you do when your bond is no longer, it’s gone… WILL YOU, React on impulse as a cold blooded creature? Return feelings you felt to the criminal with the heat, huh? Demean ya homie’s hopes and desires by givin’ up your life? Make that single bullet in the gun be your last wife? Or respond by puttin’ your cerebral processes to use? Synthesizin’ and skippin’ lies and doin’t it all for you?

J. Jonah: It's the M.M.A.P you know how we be, we runnin' these streets we do it for peace. Yeah! You have to struggle to survive, it's hard to stay alive to the rules we abide to I know you want to fly too. To the sky real high but you're going to have to try to we are living in a crazy life ( life ) Cutting through your soul like a scythe (scythe). We cant struggle for peace without the passion, trying to spread these words out in rations. The negativity is what gets to me, instead of staying out the streets and do my thing potentially Yeah Yeah! Imagine this world without sin, just repent make sure you stay strong like your abdomen what is happening yeah boy we back again Proverbial Spitterz top notch like a stallion Ellis Martin: Peace is what is happenin, gotta play that back again. It's time to raise your hands and sing.. Peace is what is happenin, gotta play that back again. Everybody raise your hands... KC Sling: The struggle for peace is very well alive Generations and races coming together to survive Knock knock is anybody home Nahhh because the moral lights are so far gone Alone and scared in this hell we call home The scariest place to live is an empty dome We let corrupt society cut off all our thoughts And replace it with material things that we bought Take some notes get out a pad and pen Its time to gather all your sins and begin to repent And my sermon isn’t finished Let the children speak on because the words don’t diminish Eating cans of spinach like Popeye Trying to see right not wrong like a cock eye If we change our mind, soul, and heart The path to peace will have a way positive start Ellis Martin: Peace is what is happenin, gotta play that back again. It's time to raise your hands and sing.. Peace is what is happenin, gotta play that back again. Everybody raise your hands... Peace is what is happenin, gotta play that back again. It's time to raise your hands and sing.. Peace is what is happenin, gotta play that back again. Everybody raise your hands...

(written by Grant Newsome) We are astray from the path of righteousness. Not religiously for this is not a sermon, These are simply words and I speak them for my children’s children. Soon to be addicted to cinematic killing. You see, peace has become un-cool like backwards caps and fanny packs. So we inject gun talk into the veins of our manly raps. Hoping that those listening can confirm our masculinity. The limit of which we stretch to infinity. Yet, in this world of great consequence, Peace is the foundation, on which we stand. I remember Mama hollering cause I had to get my grades up. That was her way of assuring her baby won’t get sprayed up. Layed up, faded out and forgotten. 6 feet deep and soon to be rotten. She tried to pass this off to me like Stockton, But as a child, we can only get bored like Rodman. And that’s why Compton is Compton. For with no appreciation for life all you find is death. As smoke rises from concrete killing fields, You pause to find your breath. Yet the only thing on your mind is how much time is left. No wonder why the hood is under all this grind and stress. No wonder why Afghanistan shakes with the sound of flying jets. My lungs burn white from the fumes of the napalm I injest. I protest. For this path is guaranteed to lead to fast destruction. So with the mic we are weapons of mass construction. We are history through hip-hop.

No war no war no war, no war no war no war no war, Pretty Boy: Emma put it like this, all I want is peace That's my only wish, why they hattin' on a freedom fighter?

Brando: Some say men make war so men can live in comfort peace. But I say don't make one so that the other can decrease, Eloquently spoken, but that's not to say the least. Cause we are on the higher ground, still on the path to reach. But we will not revert to givin' up, even if we are faced with both our feet stuck, can't turn to the side to make the gun bust, no war no reason to make things rust. We crease our peace to let them know that we are free. Cause at the end of battle our soldier numbers increase for peace. J. Jonah: We don't war we want peace! A lot of cats stay strapped up and killing in the streets, you can't hold me like the shackles on my feet. So settle down and gather around why don't you take a seat. Okay, who want some? You want none the young is out here killin' huh? But yet you see him in his casket but you still ain't feeling him? I only fight with words so stop asking why I'm punkin' out my esoteric fidelity words I'ma bring them out Phat Boiee: No war no war no war, no war no war no war no war, No war no war no war, no war no war no war no war, We want peace, yeah we want peace. No war no war no war, no war no war no war no war, No war no war no war, no war no war no war no war, We want peace, yeah we want peace. KC Sling: So sick of being consumed suffering and illness Overcome oppression of violence gotta be resilient Killing it but not killing like these streets Drug dealers terrorist ain't bringing the peace Only ways keep your hands together like the priest But that's the LEAST to keep the peace up in these streets We are astray from the path of righteousness But we have to change to achieve collective enlightenment E. Flowz & Phat Boiee: Live it in ya heart me sa shout it in the street, we no want not War, we want Peace. Love will take us far or firm a new reach We no want no War, we want peace. Live it in ya heart me sa shout it in the street, we no want not War, we want peace. Love will take us far or firm a new reach We no want no War... E.

Society doing the flip flop, I say burn down the system and put peace at the top Letto: Now this is Hip Hop! We don't flip flop, On something this hot, Manipulators of the word peace is what we is not, We don't want no war, So why you trying to get caught, End up as a hostage, Now you stuck up in a big spot, Family home waiting for you to call them on the phone, You think I'm playing, What you think this is auto tune, I don't think so, I'm latino, With words so lethal, Peace my people Slick Nick: I'm bout to paint a picture and give you a vivid vision. Listen cause I'm tired of seeing these crazy crimes, Man. That black on black crime makes no sense, like that little boy lying all the time. I'm tryin' to spread that Peace with my untouchable lines. If you hear me then give me that nod, if not you can sit there and slob. Yeah they call me Slick Nick and I'm flier than fly, and I rep Raspire now I'm gone. Goodbye... Shy Gurl: My name is Rosa baby, know war? No, I haven't lately and if you askin' me, perhaps I'll be your lady. No War Remix baby, Shy Gurl on the track. Be quite, Shhhh stop talkin' that smack!

The Mural Music and Arts Project’s mission is to educate, empower and inspire youth. We offer this album as a tribute to peace; One Love, Many Voices: A Call To Peace. The creativity and talent of our teens in the History through Hip Hop Program (HHH) demonstrates the ability of young people to lead, using their own voice and style. We believe our music showcases our dedication to peace, equality, diversity, and harmony, and we hope that you continue to help us spread this message.

We would like to offer our sincerest thanks to our families, hip hop pioneers, and contemporary leaders in the field. A special thanks to the MMAP Board of Directors, particularly Ryan & Aretoula, and the leaders of the current HHH program including Coach Tunde, Remedy, Patrick, Brandon, and the interns. Continued gratitude for those that began the HHH program including Sean, Bronson, Eugene, Adam, Teff, Jidenna, Jeff, Jeffrey, and Chitty. To our lead producers, Raspire Music, Ellis Martin, and Fear & Fancy, we thank you for sharing your talent and leadership. This album is a reflection of your guidance and determination.
