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 songs and not too many soulful lyrics,
a couple dissin' women callin' 'em "groupies," "hoes," and "bitches."
Got off stage, and I'm "Yo, I know that we killed 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 "Word? Shit, I love feedback and criticism."
She said "I miss the passionate spirit, political vision.
honestly I wasn't offended by those references to women,
But only continuing society's conditioning."

It hit the of me. I told her that this was part of me,
I stand up for human rights, and treat others how I 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 peace and love?" uhh, somewhat 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 from these verses and my purpose surfaced 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 have a flame, your ignited with sound.
Are you the empire 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 just you;
a fine line between saying and living it.
(x2)

Light it up to it down, light 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 I've struggled on,
Is how to incorporate drugs and into my music
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 that I to smoke weed,
Knowing the kids are and many 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 all about your relationship with it.
See I'm either off in the riding and everyday with the spliff.
Constantly looking for a balance but habit to addiction.

And hip-hop music & weed: inseparable.
So MCs that don't smoke or drink, talking about it to me 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 bump a 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 I would make more money if I wasn't as true,
To all the of the blunted consumption I'm going through.
Make music for the party, and the people 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?
