Luyện nghe bài hát Contradiction

The day, me 'n' XP opened 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 that we killed it,"
Ran into a familiar face, a female who comes in and us.

I "Peace!" She said "Wait! Let me talk to you for a minute...
I know it's none of my business, but I impressed by your performance."
I "Word? Shit, I love feedback and criticism."
She said "I the passionate spirit, your political vision.
honestly I wasn't offended by those 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 others how I wanna be treated.
But song can't be seepin' with freedom,
'Cuz the other side of me is sexist then people will feel 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 and my purpose gets 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 with being a hypocrite,
And through these songs you can it.
The differences, I admit this shit, I'm just like you;
Walking a fine line saying and living it.
(x2)

Light it up to burn it down, light it up to it down.
Light it up to 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 my music
Outside of songs.
on that perspective, that's all over my records.
But the side isn't represented unless it sessions with XP.
How can I admit I love to smoke weed,
the kids are listening and many of 'em look up to me?

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

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

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