Central Cee: Ruby

(Sykes)
(You're as cold as ice)
(Nostalgia)

Ruby's as cold as ice
What she's been through in her life ain't right
Mum and dad the addicted type
She was in care by the age of five
She moved out to the Isle of Wight
She moved four times by time she was nine
She don't trust no guys
They can't get through but they keep on trying
Ruby don't act her age
She fifteen 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 ask 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 hoe
Started with problems at home
Now all the sudden the problem has grown
But Ruby grew 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 want freeze, better stay inside
(You're as cold as ice)
Take that chance, roll the dice
Broken hearts, broken homes (You're willing to sacrifice)
You're not from here, you won't know what's it like

Jack's as cold as ice
He's lost his mum and most his guys
Way too young but holding knives
He'll do that crime with no disguise
Retaliation how he cope with pride
No hesitating, go on a ride
You roll the dice, if it goes to plan, then calm
If it don't, you die
Don't gamble your life, you don't get that twice
I don't think I'll ever let that slide
But I won't get dough when I get that stripe
We get the worst advice
Think that you're bad till you're locked in the 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 eighteen and his cody'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 as well
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 want freeze, better stay inside
(You're as cold as ice)
Take that chance, roll the dice
Broken hearts, broken homes (You're willing to sacrifice)
You're not from here, you won't know what's it like

The road's 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
Say too much, get disqualified
Get fed to the lions, 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 looks fake
The feens don't have no shame
Crackheads smoke crack where the children play
You know this, it's all a bit strange
Show biz 'cause it all looks staged
Selfishness is a foolish game
It would all change if we're 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 want freeze, better stay inside
(You're as cold as ice)
Take that chance, roll the dice
Broken hearts, broken homes (You're willing to sacrifice)
You're not from here, you won't know what's it 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
