Sing, rap about whatever you like, but I would like to see them making an attempt to point out that when they called about shooting their enemies and drinking cough syrup for a hit, that it's probably not a good thing to be taking their words to heart. Is that too much to ask?
I get what you are trying to say and that reminds me of a Tyler the Creator video I saw that he had a disclaimer on it and said kids don't try this at home before he started into his rap.
