Ice Cream Man. RAYE Lyrics

 

After years of trying to have an album issued, the singer RAYE has finally released her first album, which is titled "My 21st Century Blues."

Her first full-length album, which she released as an independent artist, tells the story of her time spent working in the music business, as well as growing up and all of the challenges that come along with it.

The song "Ice Cream Man" is only one of the fifteen songs that make up her album, and the words to this song are broken down in the following paragraphs.

[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]

Coming like the ice cream man

Till I felt his ice-cold hands

And how I pay the price now, damn

Goddamn, no, what the? 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, 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 were unhealthy

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

[Pre-Chorus]

Coming 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 sin

You pathetic, dead excuse of a man

[Outro]

Ooh, ooh

I'm a brave, strong woman

Oh, 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
