Where the goddess of lust speaks sweet nothings tempting me
Where identity crisis is the norm
And where we only know ourselves on stage
But we forget after we perform
Where blood and smoke screens cloak the inner discontent
Where compensation for your due payments are overspent
Where image is everything and your thirst no longer matters
Where we can't stand our true selves so mirror images shatter
Where life is no longer a blessing but a curse and
Where Hip-Hop music is no longer fun but work Illogic – Hollow Shell (Cash Clutch)

He’s unaware of the clash between his thoughts toward the baby and his girlfriend’s. He sees it as beautiful and wonderful, whereas she sees it as the opposite, pure negative. This creates the strong division between them that he’s not aware of at this time.
While this may be true, I think the meaning is more literal. His girlfriend got the abortion and it was unbeknownst to illogic. The dichotomy illogic refers to is the fetus being separated from the womb. He thought she was still pregnant because his girlfriend (the beauty) hadn’t yet found a way to tell him about the abortion because she was struggling to.
