Ice Cream Man. Songtext
von RAYE

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
