Luyện nghe bài hát Contradiction

The other day, me 'n' XP opened for Souls
I'm like "Yo, let's get on some angry MC and hit 'em"
Rocked all the cocky songs and not too many lyrics,
a couple dissin' women callin' 'em "groupies," "hoes," and "bitches."
Got off stage, and I'm like "Yo, I know we killed it,"
Ran into a familiar face, a female who in and supports us.

I "Peace!" She said "Wait! Let me talk to you for a minute...
I know it's none of my business, but I wasn't impressed by performance."
I said "Word? Shit, I love and criticism."
She said "I the passionate spirit, your political vision.
Quite honestly I wasn't offended by 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 rights, and treat others how I would wanna be treated.
But every 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, that's 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 from these verses and my purpose gets 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 fire's ignited sound.
Are you building the empire up, or 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 like you;
Walking a fine line between saying and 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 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 struggled on,
Is how to drugs and alcohol into my music
of sober songs.
'Cuz on that perspective, that's all my records.
But the other side isn't represented 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 model, but I know 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 about your with it.
See I'm either off in the wagon and everyday with the spliff.
Constantly looking for a 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 how much people just want to be accepted,
And not seem straight-edge to audience, so keeping it real is neglected.
'Cuz I'm smoking, I wouldn't wanna bump a song like this.
Put on some Dev and break out the Swishers, and a 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 consumption I'm through.
Make music for the party, and the support you.
I burn Brother Ali and buy 50, what does say to you?
Bring it around,
Am I building the up or using my fire to burn it down?
