Ice Cream Man. (Live at Montreux Jazz Festival)

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

Coming like the ice cream man

Till I felt his ice cold hands

And how I pay the price now, damn

And 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 yes I am

'Cause I'm a woman

A very fuckin' 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 fuckin' 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

Come in like the ice cream man

Till I felt his ice cold hands

And how I pay the price now, damn

Said, everything you did, it left me in a ruin

And no I didn't say a word, I guess that proves it

Ah

Oh, I'm a woman

A very fuckin' 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

Oh, I am

And 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 sins, you pathetic, sad excuse of a man

'Cause I'm very fuckin' brave, strong woman

Yes, I am

And sometimes I need

To remind myself

That I am

Oh, I am

I am

I am

I am

Oh, I am

Sometimes I need to remind myself

I need to remind myself

That I am

Oh, oh

Ooh

Said, I'd be damned if I let a man ruin

'Cause I'm a very fuckin' brave, strong woman

Thank you
