Luyện nghe bài hát Contradiction

The other day, me 'n' XP opened for Souls
I'm like "Yo, get on some angry MC showmanship and hit 'em"
Rocked all the songs and not too many soulful lyrics,
Even a couple 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 female who comes in and us.

I said "Peace!" She said "Wait! Let me to you for a minute...
I know none 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 offended by those references to women,
But you're only continuing conditioning."

It hit the of me. I told her that this was part of me,
I stand up for human rights, and treat how I would 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 and love?" uhh, that's somewhat misleading
this world is fucked-up and I'm a pro-duct to what I'm seeing.

Not to justify, but to touch 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 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 these songs you can witness it.
The differences, I admit this shit, because I'm just you;
Walking a fine between 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 it down, light 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 into my music
Outside of songs.
'Cuz on that perspective, that's all my records.
But the other side isn't unless it sessions with XP.
How can I that I love to smoke weed,
Knowing the kids are listening and many of 'em 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 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.
looking for a balance but habit turns to addiction.

And hip-hop music & weed: 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 straight-edge 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 that I would make more 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 Brother Ali and buy 50, what that say to you?
Bring it around,
Am I building the empire up or using my fire to it down?
