Put Me on Ice - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

All my life, did 'em right

Way too much I had to sacrifice

When you got the glow they all want the light

'Til they dim it so low you can lose your sight

Of who you are, what's your mission

You thought it was love but it's something different

So focused on the good things though

You don't notice they don't treat you like a good thing though

Gaslighting, hindsight is so frightening

Blindsighted, hit fast as grease lightning

Whiplashed, heart scabbed, your brain fried

Long nights traveling to the dark side

Construct the Death Star, revenge the best start

The vest is Kevlar, the rest is Braveheart

Playin' with my light, I don't take it lightly

I could let it go, but that isn't likely

Why I look for love in people who can't give it back? (Why?)

Why do they withdraw moment that I get attached? (Why?)

Why they gotta riff on all the drama of my past? (Why?)

Why I gotta trip like nothing's ever gonna last?

Used to being used but I'm sick of how it feels

Maybe it's a side effect of being too real

Now I know why everybody tend to turn fake

Hard to stay true when it's easy to escape

[Chorus]

They just wanna put me on ice

Plan B, never payin' full price

Deadly, girl I'm know I'm too nice

If you wanna cuff me, I'ma read you my rights

Put me on ice then I'm bound to go cold

I'm already iced out, I could freeze my soul

If you wanna love me, then you better grab hold

I don't do second place, look at all this gold (Gold)

Try to leave me cold and you'll leave me gold (Gold)

Try to break my heart, try to break my soul (Gold)

Turn it into art, turn it into gold (Gold)

Tried to chain me up 'til my chains went nuts and my wrist went cold

[Verse 2]

Frozen, so go bust me open

I'm used to copin', too used to broken

Know this: the cracks turn me golden

I shine through times where most get corroded

I could never let somebody break my soul

Especially if I'm aware that theirs ain't whole

I don't have the time for a cycle that is toxic

Shouldn't have the time to turn you into a topic

Venom in the lips of my enemy drainin' energy

Want me? Then you better be ready to want to better me

Treat me like a dog, you disrespectin' my Pedigree

Got a hell of a memory, look how deadly my pen will be

I load up the lyrics and fire bullets away

I know that you hear it, the verses come with grenades

When I go to war, I'm deadly within the page

I'm lacin' it with my rage, better pray that you're gettin' saved

Dreams get dark sometimes (Times)

My mind tells me lies (Lies)

My skies turn so black (Black)

Feel I can't come back

Whiplash with the way emotions flow

But I get cash off of how you played me, so

It ain't that bad long as I can keep my soul

That's why my neck iced out and my wrist went gold

It's a flex on anybody who tried to break me apart (Yeah)

Shine on anybody who brought me into the dark

I got watercolor tears, I turn it all into art

Put it on a stage and scream it out of my heart

Give it to the people who go through the same hurt

Do it for the people who grow through the same dirt

Overcomin' evil they know they never deserved

Shinin' after everything knowing their damn worth
