Luyện nghe bài hát Contradiction

The other day, me 'n' XP for Souls Mischief
I'm "Yo, let's get on some angry MC showmanship and hit 'em"
all the cocky songs and not too many soulful lyrics,
Even a couple 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 said "Peace!" She "Wait! Let me talk to you for a minute...
I know none of my business, but I wasn't impressed by your performance."
I said "Word? Shit, I love and criticism."
She said "I miss the passionate spirit, political vision.
Quite honestly I wasn't offended by references to women,
But you're only continuing conditioning."

It hit the heart of me. I told her that this was of me,
I stand up for human rights, and treat how I would wanna be treated.
But every song be seepin' with freedom,
'Cuz the other of me is sexist then people will feel that I'm preachin'.
"Everything's and love?" uhh, that's somewhat misleading
this world is fucked-up and I'm a pro-duct to what I'm seeing.

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

Consumption, contradiction. I'm with being a hypocrite,
And through songs you can witness it.
The differences, I admit this shit, because I'm just you;
Walking a fine line between 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.
it up to burn it down, light it up to burn it down.
Light it up to it... down, down, down, down, down, down, down.

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

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

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

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