Luyện nghe bài hát Contradiction

The other day, me 'n' XP for Souls Mischief
I'm like "Yo, let's get on angry MC showmanship and hit 'em"
all the cocky songs and not too many soulful lyrics,
Even a couple dissin' women '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 in and supports us.

I said "Peace!" She "Wait! Let me talk 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 feedback and criticism."
She "I miss the passionate spirit, your political vision.
Quite honestly I offended by those references to women,
But only continuing society's conditioning."

It hit the heart of me. I told her this was part of me,
I up for human rights, and treat others how I would 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 and love?" uhh, that's somewhat misleading
Because this 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 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 before she turned
She said "We have a flame, your ignited with sound.
Are you building the up, or using your fire to burn it down?"

Consumption, contradiction. I'm with being a hypocrite,
And these songs you can witness it.
The differences, I admit this shit, because I'm just you;
Walking a line between saying and living 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.
on that perspective, that's all over my records.
But the other side isn't represented unless it with 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 condone and chronic, I am sending out the
Message "It's okay," hey I believe that it is. can be medicine,
But it's all your relationship with it.
See I'm either off in the wagon riding and with the spliff.
Constantly looking for a balance but habit to addiction.

And hip-hop music & weed: inseparable.
So MCs that don't or drink, talking about it to me seems questionable.
It proves how much people just 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 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 know that I make more money if I wasn't as true,
To all the stuggles of the blunted 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
it back around,
Am I building the empire up or using my fire to burn it
