RAYE - Ice Cream Man.

RAYE - Ice Cream Man. - lyrics

[Verse 1]

So, this producer hit me up on the DM

He told me, "Hey, I really like what you are doing"

He told me, "Come 'round to the studio, let's cook it"

He told me, "Come to catch a vibe and make some music"

But when I got there, should've heard what he was saying

Tryna touch me, tryna fuck me, I'm not playing

I should have left that place as soon as I walked in it

How Goddamn dare you do that to me, really?

[Pre-Chorus]

Come in like the ice cream man

Till I felt his ice-cold hands

And how I pay thе price now, damn

Goddamn, no, what the, Goddamn

Everything you did, it lеft me in a ruin

And no, I didn't say a word, I guess that proves it

I'm a woman, oh, yes

[Chorus]

'Cause I'm a woman

I'm a very fucking brave, strong woman

And I'll be damned if I let a man ruin

How I walk, how I talk, how I do it

Man, I've been broken for a moment

I've been through it, no

It's even harder to be brave alone

I was a girl, now I'm grown, I'm a woman

A very fucking strong woman

[Verse 2]

And I was seven

Was twenty-one, was seventeen and was eleven

It took a while to understand what my consent means

If I was ruthless, they'd be in the penitentiary

But all the stress of being honest wouldn't help me

I pushed it down, but it was livin' in me rent-free

And then I fell into some things that weren't healthy

A place where no one heard me, asking them to help me (Help me, help me)

[Pre-Chorus]

Come in like the ice cream man

Till I felt his ice-cold hands

And how I pay the price now, damn

Goddamn

Everything you did, it left me in a ruin

And no, I didn't say a word, I guess that proves it

I'm a woman

[Chorus]

'Cause I'm a woman

I'm a very fucking brave, strong woman

And I'll be damned if I let a man ruin

How I walk, how I talk, how I do it

Man, I've been broken for a moment

I've been through it, no

It's even harder to be brave alone

I was a girl, now I'm grown, I'm a woman

A very fucking strong woman, mmm

[Bridge]

I wish I could say how I feel, how I felt

And explain why I'm silently blaming myself

'Cause I put on these faces, pretending I'm fine

Then I go to the bathroom and I press rewind in my head

Always going round and round in my head

Your fingerprints stuck a stain on my skin

You made me frame myself for your sins

You pathetic, dead excuse of a man

[Outro]

Ooh, ooh

I'm a brave, strong woman

Ooh, yeah, yeah, oh, oh, oh

And I'll be damned if I let a men ruin, oh

I'm a very fucking brave, strong woman, yeah
