"As Jy Met Vuur Speel Sal Jy Brand" [ˈas jɛi mɛt ˈfyːr ˈspiəl ˌsal jɛi ˈbrant], "If you play with fire, you get burned," is the debut CD of the South African punk rock band Fokofpolisiekar. It is a seven track EP released in 2003 by Rhythm Records in South Africa.

In 2004, it was reissued with a bonus track, "Fokofpolisiekar", and the music video for "Hemel op die platteland". The original version of the EP was released with a white cover, while the reissue had a black one.

In 2013, it was reissued on 10" vinyl for the band's tenth anniversary, with new cover art. This edition was reissued in 2018. Both versions included the hidden material from the CD releases.

In 2023, the album was reissued on vinyl, with the original white variant of the CD cover art and a new song, "Blades", which was originally written during the writing sessions for the band's debut full-length album Lugsteuring. This edition, however, omits the hidden tracks from the CD and 2013 vinyl releases.
