Ruby

You're as cold as ice

Nostalgia

Ruby's as cold as ice, what she's been through in her life ain't right

Mom and dad the addicted type, she was in care by the age of five

She moved up to the Isle of White

She moved four times by the time she was nine

She-she don't trust no guys

They gotta get through but they keep on trying

Ruby don't act her age, she 15 but grown and wise

Fake love can't heal the pain

She don't go school, she smoke, get high

Her parents smoking white, how can I judge how you cope with life?

Chilling with older guys, they asked her age, she told them lies

You know what it's like, you know how it goes

She's young and she lost her virginity, now everyone call her a hoe

Started with problems at home

Now all of the sudden the problem has grown

But Ruby grow up on her own, she don't have a problem with being alone

You're as cold as ice (these roads are as cold as ice)

You're willing to sacrifice (if you don't wanna freeze, best stay inside)

You're as cold as ice (take that chance, roll the dice)

Broken hearts, broken homes

You're not from here, you won't know what it's like

Jack's as cold as ice, he's lost his mom and most his guys

Way too young but holding knives, he'll do that crime with no disguise

Retaliation how you cope with pride, no hesitating, go on the ride

You roll the dice, if it goes to plan then come, if it don't you di-

Don't gamble your life, you don't get that twice

I don't think I ever let that slide but won't get dough when I get that stripe

We get the worst advice

Think that you're bad till you're locked in a can

And now you wanna turn to Christ

It cost to be a boss but death ain't worth that price

Jack got caught with a shank and Jakes linked him to a local murder

Jack's 18 and his co-d's Max, he's young so he's moving nervous

Jack been in the station multiple times, he's moving quiet on purpose

Max kept it quiet aswell, now they're both in jail and they just got birded

You're as cold as ice (these roads are as cold as ice)

You're willing to sacrifice (if you don't wanna freeze, best stay inside)

You're as cold as ice (take that chance, roll the dice)

Broken hearts, broken homes

You're not from here, you won't know what it's like

The roads as cold as ice

You're not from here, you won't know what it's like

TV shows don't show what it's like, I've seen it with my own two eyes

Two sides, you'll see the divide

Freedom of speech, I'm speaking my mind

Saying too much, get disqualified, get fed to the liars, eat you alive

Grew in a detrimental place, deteriorating your mental state

It's all good CAH we still kept faith

Making it work but we still want change

These days, it's all fabricated

Got to the point being real is fake

Th-the fiends don't have no shame

Crackheads smoke crack where the children play

You know this, it's all a bit strange

Showbiz 'cause they all look staged

Selfishness is a foolish game

It would all change if it's all at stake

This ain't just for the gang, I feel like we all can relate

On my side, we're all the same, my hood don't discriminate

You're as cold as ice (these roads are as cold as ice)

You're willing to sacrifice (if you don't wanna freeze, best stay inside)

You're as cold as ice (take that chance, roll the dice)

Broken hearts, broken homes

You're not from here, you won't know what it's like

You're as cold as ice

You're willing to sacrifice

You're as cold as ice

You're willing to sacrifice

You're not from here, you won't know-
