Lyrics for Ice Cream Man.
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've left that place as soon as I walked in it How God damn dare you do that to me, really? Coming like the ice cream man 'Til I felt his ice-cold hands And how I pay the price now, damn God damn, no what the, God damn 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, oh, yes '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 Was a girl, now I'm grown, I'm a woman A very fucking strong woman And I was seven Was 21, was 17, and was 11 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 living in me rent free And then I fell into some things that were unhealthy A place where no one heard me asking them to help me Coming like the ice cream man 'Til I felt his ice-cold hands And how I pay the price now, damn, God damn 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 '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, mmh 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 Ooh-ooh Yeah, a brave strong woman Oh-oh, yeah Eh-eh, ay, oh, oh, oh And I'll be damned if I let a man ruin, oh I'm a very fucking brave strong woman, yeah
