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!
