Icebox Lyrics

Shit
Yeah, I'm feelin' like that
I'm in New York right now, you heard?
I'm a different kinda animal when I'm up here (I'm a silverback)
Daytrip took it to ten (hey)

Takin' these journeys where I'ma need an interpreter
Haven't had a problem I couldn't solve with the murderers
Forced entry, home invasion, I know the burglars
Pardon my thoughts, I had to put up the burglar bars
People done hurt us all
Icebox where my heart was, it don't hurt at all
She got a murder charge
People done hurt us all
Icebox where my heart was, it don't hurt at all
She got a murder charge
And he got a murder charge

A'ight, I'ma get it all out right here, you heard me?
This my healing process, you know what I'm sayin'?
I'm pressured

First time I ever been disappointed, think it came from my mother
I subconsciously engage in things that's makin' me suffer
And this in turn has an effect on how I deal with a woman
I try to turn 'em against their family just to prove that they love me
I put that iron on your cousin, I put that iron on your brother
And when they draw the chalk line, pretend that I don't know nothin'
I'm not the one to cross now, I ain't retire from thuggin'
Observe that I'm a boss now, I mail it out and say, "Fuck it"
Then slim, you won't get walked down, if you survivin', you lucky
You survivin', you lucky, you survivin', you lucky

Takin' these journeys where I'ma need an interpreter
Haven't had a problem I couldn't solve with the murderers
Forced entry, home invasion, I know the burglars
Pardon my thoughts, I had to put up the burglar bars
People done hurt us all
Icebox where my heart was, it don't hurt at all
She got a murder charge
People done hurt us all
Icebox where my heart was, it don't hurt at all
She got a murder charge, and he got a murder charge

Why I'm supposed to be givin' a fuck, lil' bitch? Uh, let me calm down
Heard your opinion and I'm not givin' a shit, I'm really up now
In the H, I went to Emit and got the pendant bust down
Talkin' 'bout what you gon' do to the kid, I'm out here shinin', what now?
Applyin' the pressure, she beggin' to get my attention, but ain't no love now
Say you fuckin' with someone that fit my description, but it ain't workin' out
Personal trainin' when I used to hit it, whip up and work it out
I'm really for certain now, I'm knowin' my purpose now (I am)
My insecurity wiped out, I'm knowin' my purpose now (I know)

When you find someone seekin' acceptance, that's dangerous
'Cause they're not just seekin' acceptance from you
They seek acceptance wherever they can get it from
Even the opposition, yes, Lord

Takin' these journeys where I'ma need an interpreter
Haven't had a problem I couldn't solve with the murderers
Forced entry, home invasion, I know the burglars
Pardon my thoughts, I had to put up the burglar bars
People done hurt us all
Icebox where my heart was, it don't hurt at all
She got a murder charge
People done hurt us all
Icebox where my heart was, it don't hurt at all
She got a murder charge
And he got a murder charge

D-D-Daytrip took it to ten (hey)
