TY, Akala, Durrty Goodz - Playing With Fire lyrics

You’re, you’re playing with fire
Fire fire fire
You’re, you’re playing with fire
Fire fire fire
You’re, you’re playing with fire
Fire fire fire
You’re, you’re playing with fire
Fire fire fire

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 it's a roller coast no
Excuses my friend we can all be ghosts

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 suit's 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?

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

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!
