Plan B, Labrinth - Playing with Fire lyrics

One day, you'll learn
(Fire) when you get burned (Fire)
By then it will be too late for ya (Fire)
Be too late for ya (Fire)
When the fire spreads and burns
(Fire) , don't you know?

He's just a kid, off the estate
They call him little Jake
Today he tried to buy weed
With his little mate
Up in the bit's, but he's just a kid
So he was open to manipulation
He had to undergo initiation
And when some older boys saw the situation
They took the piss now look at this
Little youte beating up his only friend
The only one that weren't pretend
And even gave him the money for the peng
From mice to men and then to rats
But only a snake behaves like that
But the gang don't care if
He falls through the gaps
They're just happy that you fall for the trap
Playing with fire
It doesn't burn the first time your
Hands walk through the flame
Playing with fire bitter and sweet, whoa no
Scorching skin now, hell on it's way
Playing with fire fire, fire, fire, fire
You're playing with fire

One day you'll learn
(Fire) when you get burned (Fire)
By then it will be too late for ya (Fire)
Be too late for ya (Fire)
When the fire spreads and burns
(Fire) , don't you know?

He's just a kid
But he feels like the man today
He joined a gang today
Been at a house party around the way
Doing illegal shit but he's just a kid
Still he's in luck today, he got a fuck today
Yeah, he bust his very first nut today
In some stupid bitch, today's moving quick
So quick, if you wear the wrong shoes
You'll slip
Better keep up with the tempo of the clique
'Cause what they on is messed up, bruv
And now that he's rolling with
These vexed up thugs
So what's next up, bruv?
'Cause he's gonna make it his only mission
To better his position
In this little gang it's a competition
To the little man with a disposition
Holier than thou, he was born a Christian
All he worships now is an idealism
Wise men will tell you with age comes wisdom
And you can't be saved by
Religion unless you have faith
So it makes no difference to the youths
That are raised in the system
You don't have age on your side
Or any positive role models in
Their lives that provide insight
So they ain't gonna listen
As for Jake, he's already made his decision
And now he's just another poster boy
For David Cameron's Broken Britain
Playing with fire
It doesn't burn the first time your
Hands walk through the flame
Playing with fire bitter and sweet, whoa no
Scorching skin now, hell on it's way
Playing with fire fire, fire, fire, fire
You're playing with fire

One day you'll learn
(Fire) when you get burned (Fire)
By then it will be too late for ya (Fire)
Be too late for ya (Fire)
When the fire spreads and burns
(Fire) , don't you know? Playing with fire
