paroles de chanson Ice Cream Man. - Live at the Royal Albert Hall - The Heritage Orchestra , RAYE

D'ya know what, when I sing this song, it's deep, yeah?
When I heard the statistic, I actually fucking broke down in tears
Because the stat is that 1 in 4 men, men and women will experience this in their lifetime
And in a beautiful, sold-out Royal Albert Hall, that's a quarter of you here tonight
So I know I'm not alone when I sing this
Um, and, yeah
If you can relate to this song, I'm so fucking sorry from the bottom of my heart
And I'ma sing it for you right now with my whole heart
With my belly out and everything
And I wanted to do it like this, 'cause that's how I fucking feel
So I'm gonna sing it naked as fuck
Alright Tom, I'm ready
Hm

So, this producer hit me up on the DM
He told me, "Hey, I really like what you are doin'"
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, hm
'Cause 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, hm, 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 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 some things that were unhealthy
A place where no one heard me asking them to help me, but I needed help, I did

Coming like the ice cream man
'Til I felt his ice-cold hands
And how I pay the price now, damn, hmm
See, 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

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
And 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

Yeah, yeah
You see, I'm a very fucking brave strong woman
Yes, I am
Oh, and sometimes I need to remind myself
I am that, oh
You see, I'm
I am

And I'll be damned if I let a man ruin, mm-hmm
'Cause I'm a very fucking brave strong woman
Thank you
