Luyện nghe bài hát Contradiction

The other day, me 'n' XP for Souls Mischief
I'm like "Yo, get on some angry MC showmanship and hit 'em"
Rocked all the cocky songs and not too soulful lyrics,
Even a dissin' women callin' 'em "groupies," "hoes," and "bitches."
Got off stage, and I'm like "Yo, I know that we it,"
Ran into a familiar face, a who comes in and supports us.

I "Peace!" She said "Wait! Let me talk to you for a minute...
I know none of my business, but I wasn't impressed by your performance."
I "Word? Shit, I love feedback and criticism."
She said "I miss the passionate spirit, your vision.
Quite honestly I wasn't offended by references to women,
But you're continuing society's conditioning."

It hit the heart of me. I told her that was part of me,
I up for human rights, and treat others how I would wanna be treated.
But song can't be seepin' with freedom,
'Cuz the other side of me is sexist then will feel that I'm preachin'.
"Everything's peace and love?" uhh, somewhat misleading
Because this is fucked-up and I'm a pro-duct to what I'm seeing.

Not to justify, but to touch on my being.
I learn from these verses and my purpose gets with demons.
Now I am sexist, I'm prejudice, I put in my music.
She said she heard perspective, but before she turned around
She said "We a flame, your fire's ignited with sound.
Are you building the up, or using your fire to burn it down?"

Consumption, contradiction. I'm conflicted being a hypocrite,
And these songs you can witness it.
The differences, I this shit, because I'm just like you;
a fine line between saying and living it.
(x2)

Light it up to burn it down, it up to burn it down.
Light it up to it down, down, down.
Light it up to burn it down, light it up to it down.
Light it up to it... down, down, down, down, down, down, down.

Now one that I've always struggled on,
Is how to incorporate drugs and into my music
of sober songs.
'Cuz on perspective, that's all over my records.
But the other side isn't represented unless it sessions XP.
How can I admit that I to smoke weed,
Knowing the kids are listening and of 'em look up to me?

Not to say that I'm a role model, but I that words are power.
And if I condone and chronic, I am sending out the
"It's okay," hey I believe that it is. Chronic can be medicine,
But it's all about your with it.
See I'm off in the wagon riding and everyday with the spliff.
looking for a balance but habit turns to addiction.

And hip-hop music & weed: inseparable.
So MCs that don't or drink, talking about it to me seems questionable.
It proves how much people want to be accepted,
And not seem straight-edge to their audience, so it real is neglected.
'Cuz when I'm smoking, I wouldn't bump a song like this.
Put on some Dev and break out the Swishers, and a and some licks.

See that's a of me too
And I know that I would make money if I wasn't as true,
To all the stuggles of the consumption I'm going through.
Make music for the party, and the support you.
I Brother Ali and buy 50, what does that say to you?
it back around,
Am I building the empire up or using my fire to it down?
