Playing With Fire

TY You’re, you’re playing with fire fire fire fire X4 Even with inner city inner vision you can never really be sure Who’s gonna make things raw and bring madness to the door It can even start with your mates, trying to burglarise your gates Asking you funny questions like (are you coming home late?) Crackheads in my postbox trying to make me lose my calm then you smile in my face when I put a pound coin in your palm put a fist to your nostril Get a court case and a hostel and a bad rap from the judge and a snide glance and a grudge They say hold it down I say down here sucks like I don't want big bucks Let me interrupt Before I press self destruct and blow this up Everything that I worked for may end up fucked People wanna act like I owe them big golden notes Make me wanna put the mic down and start holding folks But the truth is its a roller coast no excuses my friend we can all be ghosts AKALA From the local to the global it’s the same old saga Got to get one up to come up, play with the fire What do we teach our peeps if they want to reach higher? Little bit of bleach, or leach or just preach your messiah But the wisdom you speak can’t beat your attire In a place where what is sacred is our desire Get whatever you can get but forget your neck Cos they coming for heads when they collect them debts Whether it’s the few suits that you used to think is cute Or a beef in the street with a heat and some local yutes It’s the same game when they take aim gotta maintain for the fame But we’re insane cos we maintain with the most dangerous pain We can blame rain because it never came and rearranged all the flames But chains only change when we rearrange our own brain Can we really do it? I don’t know maybe you can tell me? Everybody playing with the fire to get wealthy is it healthy? TY Folks on the floor claiming postcodes I do not own Gotta lotta bad temptations facing me at home Wanna fly like a bird by sky high with my words but why Bring sand to the beach if the lifeguard keeps your mouth shut dry Never been okay but what you gonna do crochet? Won't settle for the hockey cokey or the okey doke Have to play it low key tho kick it aikido in the place in your face always try to kick it to the people... The unspoken word rarely heard at all rap and spoken word favourite final call People know what they’re doing when they tamper with the process Trapped in dirt when I'm trying to see more than Capt Kirk On the enterprise re-energise don't apologise we epitomise (fire) And of course you get burned every time you play with it Number one youth music all over the world savour it... DURRTY GOODZ I told them I'm gonna make it I told them I'm gonna take it I told them when I'm coming out I ain't coming out no fake shit So whenever you see me hustle an whenever me trying Don't ever try knock that hustle somebody’s gonna end up dying What do you know about hours in the studio All night til your so damned tired But you gotta go work in the morning then the boss tells you that your fired An you’re like "What the fuck, what's this?!" I gotta feed the fam an pay the bills Christmas is coming, my misses is running, I'm getting evicted, feeling restricted, could end up convicted, not what predicted, I gotta fix it an what's it all over this shit I'm missing my brother I nearly lost my life three times Man have been dissin my mother Coz I be spitting the lava What a Palaver Lord they wanna bring me beef drama but let my enemies scatter as we continue the saga Forgive them father They not know what they've done ruining what I've been doing makes me go harder Playing with the fire get burned learn!
