No, it's not safe. Limewire is a major distribution method for malware, and though there's not a lot thus far for Macs, there are a few rather destructive trojan horse programs.

I can't afford to buy all my music?

Then live without it or restrict yourself to tracks that have been released into the public domain or otherwise legally made available for free, as with the weekly free tracks on the iTunes Store. Stealing music tracks because you can't afford to buy them is no more justifiable than would be stealing a car because you can't afford to buy one.
