Any good hip hop songs dealing primarily/mostly with anti-war?
examples:
Paris - AWOL
Linkin Park - Hands Held High
any links and/or names would be greatly appreciated/repped.

A compound found in winstrol does infact interact negatively with xanax. Apparently when they mix in the digestive system they create a foaming reaction (kinda like diet coke and mentos - youtube it). Ever seen a seagull pop?-Hatetank

Jay Z /Punjabi MC - "beware of the boys" contains the following lyrics
We prevail is sweet back home
screamin leave Iraq alone
But all my soldiers in the field
I will wish you safe return
But only love kills war, when will they learn?
Eventhough the song was originally directed as a warning to young girls that men want to screw them.
