Luyện nghe bài hát Contradiction

The day, me 'n' XP opened for Souls Mischief
I'm like "Yo, get on some angry MC showmanship and hit 'em"
all the cocky songs and not too many soulful lyrics,
Even a couple dissin' callin' 'em "groupies," "hoes," and "bitches."
Got off stage, and I'm "Yo, I know that we killed it,"
Ran into a face, a female 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 said "Word? Shit, I love and criticism."
She said "I the passionate spirit, your political vision.
honestly I wasn't offended by those references to women,
But only continuing society's conditioning."

It hit the heart of me. I her that this was part of me,
I stand up for human rights, and treat others how I wanna be treated.
But song can't be seepin' with freedom,
the other side of me is sexist then people will feel that I'm preachin'.
"Everything's peace and love?" uhh, that's misleading
Because 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 these verses and my purpose gets surfaced with demons.
Now I am sexist, I'm prejudice, I put in my music.
She said she heard that perspective, but she turned around
She "We have 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 through these songs you can it.
The differences, I admit this shit, because I'm like you;
a fine line between saying and living it.
(x2)

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

Now one thing that I've always on,
Is how to incorporate drugs and alcohol into my
of sober songs.
'Cuz on that perspective, that's all my records.
But the other side isn't unless it sessions with XP.
How can I admit I love to smoke weed,
Knowing the kids are listening and many of 'em 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
Message "It's okay," hey I that it is. Chronic can be medicine,
But it's all about relationship with it.
See I'm either off in the riding and everyday with the spliff.
looking for a balance but habit turns to addiction.

And hip-hop & weed: they're inseparable.
So MCs that don't smoke or drink, talking about it to me questionable.
It how much people just want to be accepted,
And not straight-edge to their audience, so keeping 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 a part of me too
And I know that I would more money if I wasn't as true,
To all the stuggles of the blunted I'm going through.
Make for the party, and the people 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 to burn it down?
