Salaam Remi No Peace

It’s been an appropriate time for protest anthems, and producer Salaam Remi has kicked off his brand new album Black On Purpose with the  incendiary call to action “No Peace.” Lining up a stacked collective of veteran emcees in Busta Rhymes, Black Thought, Doug E. Fresh, and Mumu Fresh, Salaam Remi sets a classic backdrop with an uptempo breakbeat and some lively brass.

Fresh off the release of his own ELE2: The Wrath Of God album, Busta Rhymes kicks things off with an intense performance, snaring his bars in a manner befitting of his Dragon moniker . In contrast, Black Thought is as professorial as usual, his eloquence unmatched as he leads the charge with an authoritative pen. “Face it, God-forsaken race relations, basically the case for reparations,” he muses, over Remi’s shuffling production. “In a Chevy Caprice with six degrees of Kevin Bacon, no justice no peace.”

Lyrics

[Intro]
No justice, no peace (Yes)
No justice, no peace (My beautiful brothers and sisters)
No justice, no peace
No justice, no peace (Only got one question)
No justice, no peace (Are you ready)
No justice, no peace

[Verse 1: Busta Rhymes]
I got so much trouble on my mind, huh
Look at all you little hanging with us
All this police, it’ll really hit us
Niggas really got a job where it’s okay to kill us?
Fuck that shit now
Nigga hit and talk, it’s strict now
Don’t get caught up in the glitch now
We here to stick the fuck up in that bitch now
You [?] with us, do not try to switch now
You ain’t part of the fabric or the stitch now
Fuck your systematic oppression, sit down
Like you could still hit me with your little whip now
We could make justice and we come and get it
Still fucking on the [?] with it
Our ancestors are ducking, preventing with it
Call us [?] trackers now, we magnetic with it

[Chorus: Doug E. Fresh]
No justice, no peace (Say what, say what)
No justice, no peace (Can’t here y’all)
No justice, no peace (A little louder)
No justice, no peace (Can’t hear y’all)
No justice, no peace (Say what, say what)
No justice, no peace (A little louder)
No justice, no peace (Can’t hear y’all)
No justice, no peace (Yeah, uh, uh, check it out)

[Verse 2: Black Thought]
I heard blue black be the new black
They drive and survive, where they do that?
The target on my back where they shoot at
The muscle in my neck where they do that
They been dropped a bomb on a compound
That’s above and beyond what us ’bout now
We been for a war without a countdown
The brothers said they gon’ work it out now
The devil been a lie this whole time
I had to dig deeper than a dime in a gold mine
It’s show time, I begged, bartered then stole mine
Four lines, it ain’t secure
Unload the [?], the hatred
Face the God forsaken race relations
Basically the case for reformations
In a Chevy Caprice at 6 degrees at Kevin Bacon
No justice, no peace

[Chorus: Doug E. Fresh]
No justice, no peace (Say what, say what)
No justice, no peace (Can’t here y’all)
No justice, no peace (A little louder)
No justice, no peace (Can’t hear y’all)
No justice, no peace (Say what, say what)
No justice, no peace (A little louder)
No justice, no peace (Can’t hear y’all)
No justice, no peace (Yeah, uh, uh, check it out)

[Verse 3: Mumu Fresh]
See, you got the privilege to be colorblind
I could never not see colored lines
No color sides written on the front door
Now they let you in but then abuse you for it
And if you try to call a spade a spade they taking your funding away
That’s how they play
They do drugs, they the victim
If you do drugs, you getting booked through the system
They kids act up in school, they see the principal
Pop kids act up, we met at the municipal, it’s criminal
How black kids are never seen as children
We grow up too fast, becoming victims
Oversexualized or under reckless tinted
But it’s our fault right? We wanted the attention
That’s how you passed the buck
Don’t act surprised when we act up
See the virus got us jobless and stressed a lot
Now America’s on fire, the blister popped
Ain’t nobody got immunity but the rest the cops
We ain’t safe in our communities, arrest the cops
If Breonna can’t sleep in her own damn home
Trayvon can’t walk and just talk on the phone
Ahmaud can’t joke without being 100 then be shot like a dome
But if he was a dog, he’d probably get more love
Killers oughta spend their whole life behind bars
Buddies wanted bars and the rooms on the block
Shot Jacob Blake in the back 7 times
Said he won’t comply
But didn’t Floyd comply and still you kneeled out on his neck until he died but let [?] walk by
Hop on in my ride, [?] surprise
The law is the law, well the law is a lie
If Breonna can’t sleep and Ahmaud can’t run
George can’t breath and Tamir can’t be young
And Elijah can’t walk, Sandra can’t talk
There won’t be no fucking piece out on your side parks

[Chorus: Doug E. Fresh]
No justice, no peace (Say what, say what)
No justice, no peace (Can’t here y’all)
No justice, no peace (A little louder)
No justice, no peace (Can’t hear y’all)
No justice, no peace (Say what, say what)
No justice, no peace (A little louder)
No justice, no peace (Can’t hear y’all)
No justice, no peace (Yeah, uh, uh, check it out)
