Luyện nghe bài hát Contradiction

The other day, me 'n' XP opened for Souls
I'm "Yo, let's get on some angry MC showmanship and hit 'em"
Rocked all the cocky 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 said "Wait! Let me to you for a minute...
I know it's 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, your vision.
Quite honestly I wasn't 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 side of me is sexist people will feel that I'm preachin'.
"Everything's peace and love?" uhh, somewhat misleading
Because this world is fucked-up and I'm a to what I'm seeing.

Not to justify, but just to on my being.
I learn from these and my purpose gets surfaced with demons.
Now I am sexist, I'm prejudice, I put in my music.
She said she that perspective, but before she turned around
She said "We have a flame, your fire's 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 this shit, because I'm just like you;
Walking a fine line between saying and it.
(x2)

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

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

And music & weed: they're inseparable.
So MCs that don't smoke or drink, talking about it to me questionable.
It proves how people just want to be accepted,
And not seem straight-edge to 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 out the Swishers, and a bong and some licks.

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