Luyện nghe bài hát Contradiction

The other day, me 'n' XP opened for Mischief
I'm like "Yo, let's get on angry MC showmanship and hit 'em"
Rocked all the cocky songs and not too soulful lyrics,
Even a couple dissin' women 'em "groupies," "hoes," and "bitches."
Got off stage, and I'm "Yo, I know that we killed it,"
Ran a familiar face, a female 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 feedback and criticism."
She said "I miss the spirit, your political vision.
Quite honestly I wasn't offended by 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 can't 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 this world is and I'm a pro-duct to what I'm seeing.

Not to justify, but just to on my being.
I learn these 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 around
She said "We have a flame, fire's ignited with sound.
Are you building the empire up, or using your 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;
a fine line between saying and living it.
(x2)

Light it up to burn it down, 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 I've always struggled on,
Is how to incorporate and alcohol into my music
of sober songs.
'Cuz on that perspective, that's all my records.
But the other side isn't represented unless it sessions XP.
How can I admit that I love to weed,
Knowing the kids are listening and 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 bottles and chronic, I am out the
Message "It's okay," hey I that it is. Chronic can be medicine,
But all about your relationship with it.
See I'm off in the wagon riding and everyday with the spliff.
Constantly looking for a but habit turns to addiction.

And hip-hop music & they're inseparable.
So MCs that don't or drink, talking about it to me seems questionable.
It proves how people 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 wanna a song 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 that I would more money if I wasn't as true,
To all the stuggles of the blunted consumption I'm through.
Make for the party, and the people support you.
I burn Brother Ali and buy 50, what does say to you?
it back around,
Am I building the empire up or my fire to burn it down?
