Ice Cream Man. Songtext

von RAYE

Worum geht es in dem Song?

Der Song 'Ice Cream Man' von RAYE ist eine kraftvolle Botschaft über sexuellen Missbrauch und die Stärke, die es braucht...

So, this producer hit me up on the DM
He told me, "Hey, I really like what you are doing"
He told me, "Come on to the studio, let′s cook it"
He told me, "Come to catch a vibe and make some music"

But when I got there, shoulda 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 goddamn dare you do that to me, really?

"Come in" like the Ice Cream Man
'Til I felt his ice-cold hands
And how I pay the price now, damn
Goddamn, no, but 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

′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 enough
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
Just 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 living in me rent free
And then I fell into some things that weren't healthy
A place where no one hurt me, asking them to help me

"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

′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 enough
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 sin
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 men ruin, oh
I'm a very fucking brave strong woman, yeah
