RAYE - 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 have left that place as soon as I walked in it,
how God damn dare you do that to me really.
Uh

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, ah yeah

Cus 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
Im a woman.
A very fucking strong woman
Ah yeah

And I was 7
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 somethings that were unhealthy
A place where no one heard me asking them to help me

Cus he came in like the ice cream man
Til I felt his ice cold hands
(And how I pay the price now damn)
I should’ve been protected 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, ah yeah

I wish I could say how I feel, how I felt and explain why I’m silently blaming myself, cus 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 sad excuse of a man

Ooooh
Ooooh
I’m a very strong woman
And I remind myself
When I really get low
And the feelings take a hold
I’m a very fucking brave strong woman

Cus I’m a woman
(Yes I am a very brave)
I’m a very very 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
Im a woman.
A very f strong woman
Ah yeah
