The other day, me and XP opened for Souls Mischief 有一天，我和XP打开灵魂恶作剧

I'm like "Yo, let's get on some angry MC showmanship and hit 'em" 我很喜欢“哟，让我们在有些生气MC的演技和打他们”

Rocked all the cocky songs and not too many soulful lyrics 震撼了所有的骄傲自大的歌曲并没有太多的深情的歌词

Even a couple dissin' women callin' 'em groupies, hoes, and bitches 即使是一对夫妇dissin “女人的呼唤时间追星族，锄头，和母狗

Got off stage, and I'm like "Yo, I know that we killed it" 下了舞台，我很喜欢“哟，我知道我们杀了它”

Ran into a familiar face, a female who comes in and supports us 碰到了一个熟悉的面孔，一个女谁进来，支持我们

I said "Peace!" She said "Wait! Let me talk to you for a minute 我说：“和平！ ”她说： “等一下！让我跟你一分钟

I know it's none of my business, but I wasn't impressed by your performance." 我知道这不关我的事，但我不是被你的表现印象深刻。 “

I said "Word? Shit, I love feedback and criticism" 我说：“字？妈的，我爱的反馈和批评”

She said "I miss the passionate spirit, your political vision 她说：“我很想念热情的精神，你的政治远见

Quite honestly I wasn't offended by those references to women 老实说我不是被那些提到妇女冒犯

But you're only continuing society's conditioning" 但你只持续社会的空调“

It hit the heart of me 它击中了我的心脏

I told her that this was part of me 我告诉她，这是我的一部分

I stand up for human rights, and treat others how I would wanna be treated 我站起来对人权和对待别人如何，我想治疗

But every song can't be seepin' with freedom 但每首歌不能seepin 与自由

'Cause the other side of me is sexist then people will feel that I'm preachin' “使我的另一面是性别歧视的话人会觉得我preachin ”

"Everything's peace and love?" uhh, that's somewhat misleading “一切都和平与爱？ ”呃，那是有点误导

Because this world is fucked-up and I'm a pro-duct to what I'm seeing 因为这个世界是性交，和我是亲管，以我所看到的

Not to justify, but just to touch on my being 没有辩解，只是谈谈我的存在

I learn from these verses and my purpose gets surfaced with demons 我是从这些经文学习，我的目的被铺上恶魔

Now I am sexist, I'm prejudice, I put that in my music 现在我的性别歧视，我的偏见，我把我的音乐

She said she heard that perspective, but before she turned around 她说，她听到这个角度来看，但在此之前，她转身

She said "We have a flame, your fire's ignited with sound 她说：“我们有一个火焰，你的火的点燃与声音

Are you building the empire up, or using your fire to burn it down?" 你建立的帝国了，或者用你的火来烧了它？ “

   

[Chorus: x2] [合唱： X2 ]

Consumption, contradiction. I'm conflicted with being a hypocrite, 消费的矛盾。我与冲突是一个伪君子，

And through these songs you can witness it. 并通过这些歌曲，你可以看到它。

The differences, I admit this shit, because I'm just like you; 的差异，我承认这狗屎，因为我跟你一样;

Walking a fine line between saying and living it. 走的话，而生活也很微妙。

   

[Overvoice:] [ Overvoice ： ]

Light it up to burn it down, light it up to burn it down 轻它烧下来，照亮它烧下来

Light it up to burn it down, down, down 轻它烧下来，下来，下来

Light it up to burn it down, light it up to burn it down 轻它烧下来，照亮它烧下来

Light it up to burn it... down, down, down, down, down, down, down 灯火燃烧吧...下来，下来，下来，下来，下来，下来，下来

   

Now one thing that I've always struggled on 现在，有一件事，我一直在挣扎

Is how to incorporate drugs and alcohol into my music 是如何将药物和酒精进入我的音乐

Outside of sober songs 清醒的歌曲之外

'Cause on that perspective, that's all over my records “造成这个角度来看，这一切都在我的纪录

But the other side isn't represented unless it sessions with XP 但对方没有表示，除非与XP它会

How can I admit that I love to smoke weed 我怎么能承认，我爱抽烟杂草

Knowing the kids are listening and many of 'em look up to me? 知道了孩子们听，很多时间从我的身上？

Not to say that I'm a role model 并不是说我是一个榜样

But I know that words are power 但我知道的话是权力

And if I condone bottles and chronic, I am sending out the 如果我纵容瓶和慢性的，我派了

Message "It's okay," hey I believe that it is. Chronic can be medicine 消息“没关系， ”嘿，我相信它是。慢性均可入药

But it's all about your relationship with it 但它是所有关于它的关系

See I'm either off in the wagon riding and everyday with the spliff 看我现在不是关在马车骑乘和日常的spliff

Constantly looking for a balance but habit turns to addiction 一直在寻找一个平衡点，但习惯变成网瘾

And hip-hop music & weed: they're inseparable 和hip- hop音乐与杂草：他们是分不开的

So MCs that don't smoke or drink, talking about it to me seems questionable 所以，司仪不抽烟也不喝酒，谈论它给我似乎值得商榷

It proves how much people just want to be accepted 这证明有多少人只是想被接受

And not seem straight-edge to their audience, so keeping it real is neglected 而且似乎没有直边向观众展现，所以保持它真正被忽略

'Cause when I'm smoking, I wouldn't wanna bump a song like this 因为当我在抽烟，我就不想碰到这样的一首歌

Put on some Devin, break out the Swishers and a bong and some licks 把一些德文，打出来的Swishers和吴昊有些舔

See that's a part of me too 看到是我的一部分，也

And I know that I would make more money if I wasn't as true 我知道，我会赚更多的钱，如果我是不是真的

To all the stuggles of the blunted consumption I'm going through 对迟钝的消费，我经历的所有stuggles

Make music for the party, and the people support you 让音乐为党，人民支持你

I burn Brother Ali and buy 50, what does that say to you? 我烧兄弟阿里和买50 ，什么是对你说的？

Bring it back around 把它带回来各地

Am I building the empire up or using my fire to burn it down? 我在建立帝国或使用我的火来烧了它？
