The Music To Your Soul, Child

Here's a challenge: Spend 24 hours really listening to the words in your favorite music, or at least what you listen to the most right now, and figure out how listening to that, how the words, how the emphasis is making you a better person.
No, seriously.
Does listening to 50 Cent make you a better person? How?
I've fallen clean in love with Michael Franti's music, because so much of it has such a strong, truly beautiful message about the world, and still mostly has that clean, real hip hop beat. India Arie, Joss Stone, Erykah Badu and Floetry are other favorites, but for much more obvious reasons. M. Dot, who published over at Racialicious, as well as the normal spot over at Model Minority, brings up a great point; how are we investing so much in a music industry who's battle cry is 'We don't give a damn' when so much is going on in our world that's working against us? What would happen if we put as much energy into bettering the world around us as we do in saying we don't give a damn about it?
This is the root of my challenge.
No matter how much we swear words have no power, we continually prove ourselves wrong. The men in our lives wouldn't dare call us a bitch or cunt (or not to our faces if they did) and us lighter-skinned folks steer clear of the "n word" like it would bring the wrath of God upon is- because it would probably come awful close.
Words have power.
What we put in our minds affects what comes out of our mouths.
What comes out of our mouths affects the world.
So, what does your iPod say about who you're trying to become?
