0:00Playing With Fire - Stereo MC's
0:20You're playing with fire
0:25You're playing with fire
0:28You could be one in a million
0:32Could be walking down the street just like any civilian
0:35You could be amphibian
0:37But it still don't mean that
0:38You ain't gonna fall victim to the april showers
0:42And the tombstone and the bouquet of old flowers
0:44Powers above who be guiding
0:47A madman at the wheel is the way we be riding down the line
0:52Standing upon corner selling two at the time
0:55You really wanna shock it
0:57That's when you make the exchange in you pocket
1:00Lord that's the way it goes
1:02That's the way it is
1:03That's the way it happens
1:04Mister or miss
1:05It's a dog eat dog world
1:06That's the truth
1:08Especially to the youth
1:10You're playing with fire
1:13You're playing with fire
1:15You're playing with fire
1:18You're playing with fire
1:20You're playing with fire you're playing with fire
1:23You're playing with fire
1:25You're playing with fire
1:27You'll end up on the funeral pyre
1:29And now you've lost your soul
1:32And to all the youngsters you're a mystery role
1:35Ya think ya running the show
1:37But you're just being used like a dirty old hole
1:40A model of travesty ya falling thru gravity
1:43Ya try to get a grip but you slip on your sanity
1:46There's nothing you can do
1:48When you realise it's a picture of you
1:51Is it something to reach to
1:52Being all boxed up
1:54Didn't nobody teach you
1:55They're gonna sell ya
1:56Feed you up and swell ya
1:58Like a fool in the frying pan
2:00I ain't a fortune teller
2:01I'm just a realist a catalyst
2:03And if you get the gist come closer get it real crisp
2:05It's a dog eat dog world
2:07That's the truth
2:09Especially to the youth
2:17Ya playing with fire
2:21You're playing with fire
2:23You're playing with fire
2:26You're playing with fire
2:28You're playing with fire
2:30You're cracked you're playing with fire
2:33You're playing with fire
2:36You're playing with fire
2:38You'll end up on the funeral pyre
2:50And now we're living in a cage
2:53And if you ain't got it made it's a struggle not to fade
2:56It's all part of the game
2:58But nobody comes clean or wanna name any names
3:01The blame the neighbourhood for something so sad
3:03Originated from a diplomatic bag
3:06I see a face in an orange haze
3:08It's just a phase a binge but i'd call it a craze
3:11Behaviour patterns going sixes and sevens see
3:13Heaven don't exist but hell's come to get thee
3:16Mars bars soda's chips all you touch
3:19And that's why you ain't looking up too much
3:21So come out of your nosedive
3:23Stop the music or you'll be dead as you arrive
3:26So come out of the nosedive
3:28Kill the sound or you'll be dead as you arrive
3:36Ya playing with fire you're playing with fire
3:44You're playing with fire
3:46You're playing with fire
3:49You're playing with fire
3:51You're playing with fire you're playing with fire
3:54You're playing with fire
3:56You're playing with fire you're playing with fire
3:59You'll end up on the funeral pyre
4:06You're playing with fire
4:11You're playing with fire
4:21Every hour every minute every second
4:31Playing with fire
4:33Playing with fire
4:36Playing with fire
4:38Playing with fire
