One day you´ll learn
When you get hurt,
By then it will be too late for ya,

Be too late for ya
When the fire spreads and burns, don´t you know?

He´s just a kid of the estate
We call him little Jake
Today he tried to buy weed with his little mate
Up in the bits, 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
A little yoot beating up his only friend
The only one that weren´t pretend
And even gave me 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 who falls through the gaps
They just happy they could fall for the trap

Playing with fire, it doesn´t burn
First time, your hand,
Walk through the pain
Playing with fire, it´s too extreme
Oh-oh-oh
Scare tin, skin now
Hell on it´s way
Playing with fire
Fire, fire, fire, fire
Go playing with fire
One day you´ll learn
When yo get burned
By then it´ll be too late for ya
Too late for ya
When the fire spreads and burns
Don´t you know
Playing with fire

He´s just a kid, but he feels like a man today
He joined a gang today
Been at a house party, you ran away
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, with a click
Cause what they on is messed up rough
And now that he´s rolling with these vexed up thugs
What´s next up bruv
Cause he´s gonna it his only mission
To better his position, in this little gang it´s a competition
To a little man with a disposition
Holier than thou he was born a Christian
What he worships now is the night they listen
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 the yoots who 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 he 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
First time, your hand,
Walk through the pain
Playing with fire, it´s too extreme
Oh-oh-oh
Scare tin, skin now
Hell on it´s way
Playing with fire
Fire, fire, fire, fire
Go ṗlaying with fire
One day you´ll learn
When yo get burned
By then it´ll be too late for ya
Too late for ya
When the fire spreads and burns
Don´t you know
Playing with fire
