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 cocky 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 know that we it,"
Ran into a familiar face, a female who comes in and 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 "Word? Shit, I love feedback and criticism."
She said "I miss the passionate spirit, your vision.
Quite honestly I wasn't offended by references to women,
But you're only society's conditioning."

It hit the heart of me. I told her that this was 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 of me is sexist then people will feel that I'm preachin'.
"Everything's and love?" uhh, that's somewhat misleading
Because this world is fucked-up and I'm a pro-duct to I'm seeing.

Not to justify, but just to on my being.
I learn from these verses and my 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 around
She "We have a flame, your fire's ignited with sound.
Are you building the empire up, or your fire to burn it down?"

Consumption, contradiction. I'm conflicted being a hypocrite,
And through 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 burn it down, it up to burn it down.
it up to burn it down, down, down.
Light it up to burn it down, light it up to 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 and alcohol into my music
Outside of songs.
'Cuz on that perspective, all over my records.
But the other side isn't represented unless it with XP.
How can I admit that I to smoke weed,
Knowing the kids are listening and of 'em look up to me?

Not to say that I'm a 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 it is. Chronic can be medicine,
But it's all your relationship with it.
See I'm either off in the wagon 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 just 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 a song like this.
Put on some Dev and out the Swishers, and a bong and some licks.

See a part of me too
And I know that I would make 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 burn Ali and buy 50, what does that say to you?
it back around,
Am I building the empire up or my fire to burn it down?
