Lil Wayne has reportedly been sued by a musical publishing company for using a Rolling Stones song without permission.

According to Reuters, Abkco Music Inc. claims that Lil Wayne sampled Rolling Stones' song "Play With Fire" without permission and used it on his song Play With Fire which is featured on Tha Carter III.

Abkco owns the rights to the "Play With Fire". They claim Lil Waynes version of Play With Fire uses "explicit, sexist and offensive language" and causes the public to believe that their company and the Rolling Stones approved the rappers version.

Abkcos lawsuit was filed in Manhattan federal court today (July 24) and seeks unspecified damages.

Lil Waynes representatives could not be reached for comment.

ROLLING STONES - PLAY WITH FIRE [LYRICS]
Well, youve got your diamonds and youve got your pretty clothes
And the chauffeur drives your car
You let everybody know
But dont play with me, cause youre playing with fire

Your mother shes an heiress, owns a block in saint johns wood
And your fatherd be there with her
If he only could
But dont play with me, cause youre playing with fire

Your old man took her diamonds and tiaras by the score
Now she gets her kicks in stepney
Not in knightsbridge anymore
So dont play with me, cause youre playing with fire

Now youve got some diamonds and you will have some others
But youd better watch your step, girl
Or start living with your mother
So dont play with me, cause youre playing with fire
So dont play with me, cause youre playing with fire

LIL WAYNE PLAYING WITH FIRE LYRICS

So you got so many diamonds
You wear all the finest clothes
And your grill is shining
As you're driving down the street of gold
But you can't blame me if I set dis stage on fire

[Verse 1:]
Mama always told me I was crazy
My hoes say I'm amazin but I don't listen 2 a lady
But the bitch say I'm hot and I say no bitch I'm blazin
Like wat the f**k u expect I'm a muthaf**kin cajun
And I feel caged in my mind it's like my flow is doin time
I go crazy inside but when it comes out it's fine like wine
Wait
Watch
See I get betta with time like a watch
Osch be gasch posh spice husband
Could'ntkick it like I kick it bitch I kicks it
No cereal like a land and I sticks it
Wateva she asks me after she licks it
That's too explicit but y u listenin
*SNIFFS* I smell smoke and somethin sizzlin
That's her p*u**yy so hey p*u**yy play with p*u**yy or play p*u**yy

[Chorus:]
But you can't blame me if I set dis stage on fire

[Verse 2:]
They say you're nobody til somebody kills you
But where I'm from you're nobody til you kill somebody
And you kno what they say
When you're great it's not murder it's assinate
So assinate me bitch
Cause I'm doin the same shit martin luther king did
Checkin in the same hotel in the same suite bitch same balcony
Like assinate me bitch
[? ]
I don't rap I film movies with my rap
You can call me Mr. Director Chair
Yea and that's a wrap
Cut
On 2 the next
Not to the next scene bitch the next check
Some say the X makes the sex pects
So play with the p*u**yy or play p*u**yy

[Hook:]
So you got so many diamonds(hey p*u**yy lay p*u**yy)
You wear all the finest clothes(go or die say p*u**yy and I say)
And your grill is shining(lay p*u**yy lay p*u**yy lay p*u**yy)
As you're driving down the street of gold(Hey p*u**yy)
But you can't blame me if I set dis stage on fire(Hey p*u**yy Don't Play p*u**yy)
Get em!

[Verse 3:]
Straight off the corner Apple and Eagle
Brave hard bitch like the times I'm medieval
Married to the game, Divorce the Cathedral
Standin on the corner selling Porcelean to People
Forced into evil, It's all in your head
It's also cerebral, call me Canival
You follow when I lead you
Straight to the needle
The barrel, the battle, the beetles will eat you
Mama named Cita, I love You Cita
Member when your p*u**yy Second husband tried to beat ya
Remember when I went into the kitchen got the **ltver
He ain't give a f**k I ain't give a f**k neither
He could see the devil, see the devil in my features
You could smell the ether
You can see Cita
You can see the Cita, see the Seether in my features
And she don't play neither

But you can't blame me if I set dis stage on fire
