The other day, me 'n' XP opened for Souls Mischief I'm like "Yo, let's get on some angry MC showmanship and hit 'em" Rocked all the cocky songs and not too many soulful lyrics, Even a couple dissin' women callin' 'em "groupies," "hoes," and "bitches." Got off stage, and I'm like "Yo, I know that we killed it," Ran into a familiar face, a female who comes in and supports us. I said "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 your performance." I said "Word? Shit, I love feedback and criticism." She said "I miss the passionate spirit, your political vision. Quite honestly I wasn't offended by those references to women, But you're only continuing society's conditioning." It hit the heart of me. I told her that this was part of me, I stand up for human rights, and treat others how I would wanna be treated. But every song can't be seepin' with freedom, 'Cuz the other side of me is sexist then people will feel that I'm preachin'. "Everything's peace and love?" uhh, that's somewhat misleading Because this world is fucked-up and I'm a pro-duct to what I'm seeing. Not to justify, but just to touch on my being. I learn from these verses and my purpose gets surfaced with demons. Now I am sexist, I'm prejudice, I put that in my music. She said she heard that perspective, but before she turned around She said "We have a flame, your fire's ignited with sound. Are you building the empire up, or using your fire to burn it down?" [Chorus] Consumption, contradiction. I'm conflicted with being a hypocrite, And through these songs you can witness it. The differences, I admit this shit, because I'm just like you; Walking a fine line between saying and living it. (x2) [Overvoice] Light it up to burn it down,
