The other day, me 'n'
Verse 1
Ab
XP opened for Souls Mischief
Eb
I'm like "Yo, let's get on some angry
Cm
MC showmanship and hit 'em"
Ab
Even a couple dissin' women callin' 'em "groupies",
Eb
"hoes" and "bitches"
Got off stage,
and I'm like "Yo, I know that we killed it"
Ab
Ran into a familiar face, a female
Eb
who comes in and supports us
I said "Peace!"
She said "Wait! Let me
talk to you for a minute"
Cm
"I know it's none of my business,
Ab
Eb
but I wasn't impressed by your performance"
I said "Word? Shit,
Cm
Ab
I love feedback and criticism"
Eb
She said "I mis s the passionate spirit,
your political vision"
Cm
"Quite honestly I wasn't offended by those
Ab
references to women"
"But you're only continuing
Eb
society's conditioning"
Cm
Ab
It hit the heart of me
Eb
I told her that this was part of me
I stand up for human rights,
Cm
Eb
and treat others how I would wanna be treated
Ab
Eb
But every song can't be
seepin' with freedom
Ab
Eb
'Cause the other side of me is sexist then
people will feel that I'm preachin'
"Everything's peace and love?"
Ab
Eb
Uhh, that's somewhat misleading
Cm
Because this world is fucked up and
Ab
I'm a product to what I'm seeing
Eb
Ab
Not to justify, but just to touch on my being
Eb
Ab
I learn from theses and my purpose
Eb
gets surfaced with demons
Ab
I am sexist, I'm prejudice,
Eb
Cm
I put that in my music
She said she heard that perspective,
Ab
Eb
but before she turned around she said
Cm
"We have a flame, your fire's ignited
with sound"
Ab
Eb
"Are you building the empire up, or using
your fire to burn it down?"
Cm
Consumption, contradiction I'm conflicted
Verse 2
Ab
Eb
with being a hypocrite
And through these songs
Cm
you can witness it
The differences, I admit this shit,
Ab
Eb
because I'm just like you
Walking a fine line between saying
Cm
and living it
Verse 3
Ab
Eb
Consumption, contradiction
Cm
I'm conflicted with being a hypocrite
Eb
And through these songs you
Ab
Eb
can witness it
Cm
Ab
Eb
The differences, I admit this shit,
Cm
Ab
because I'm just like you
Eb
Walking a fine line between
saying and living it
Cm
Light it up to burn it down, light
Verse 4
Ab
it up to burn it down
Eb
Light it up to burn it down, down,
down
G
Light it up to burn it down, light
Ab
Eb
it up to burn it down
Ab
Eb
Light it up to burn it... down, down,
Ab
down, down, down, down, down
Eb
Now one
Verse 5
Cm
Eb
thing that
Ab
Eb
I've always struggled on
Ab
Eb
Is how to incorporate drugs and alcohol into
Ab
Eb
my music outside of sober songs.
Ab
Eb
Cm
'Cause on that perspective,
that's all over my records
Ab
But the other side isn't represented
Eb
unless it sessions with XP
How can I admit that I love
to smoke weed
Cm
Knowing the kids are listening
Ab
and many of 'em look up to me?
Eb
Not to say that I'm a role model, but
Verse 6
Eb
Cm
I know that words are power
Ab
And if I condone bottles and chronic,
Eb
I am sending out the
Message "It's okay",
yeah I believe that it is
Cm
Chronic can be medicine but it's all
Ab
about your relationship with it
Eb
See, I'm either off in the wagon riding
Cm
and everyday with the spliff
Ab
Constantly looking for a balance
Eb
but habit turns to addiction
And Hip- Hop music and weed?
They're inseparable
G
So MCs that don't smoke or drink, talking
Verse 7
Ab
Eb
about it to me seems questionable
It proves how much people
just want to be accepted
Cm
Eb
Ab
And not seem straight- edge to their audience,
Eb
so keeping it real is neglected
Ab
'Cause when I'm smoking, I wouldn't wanna
Eb
bump a song like this
Put on some Dev and break out
the Swishers, and a bong and some licks
Cm
Eb
Ab
See that's a part of me too
Eb
And I know that I would make more
money if I wasn't as true
Ab
Eb
To all the stuggles of the blunted
consumption I'm going through
Make music for the party, and
the people support you
I burn Brother Ali and buy 50, what
does that say to you?
Bring it back around, am I building the empire
up or using my fire to burn it down?
Verse 8
Eb
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
Verse 9
Eb
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 it
And living it
Light it up to burn it down, light it up to burn it down
Light it up to burn it down,
down, down
Verse 10
Light it up to burn it down,
Eb
light it up to burn it down
Light it up to burn it... down, down, down, down, down, down, down
