Lyrics
[Intro] burrr....brrrrr....burrr...brrrrr... Ice GOT to GO!
[Verse 1] Feet frozen stiff
Knuckles cracked
Same cold creeping
Don’t look back
One word—shiver
Detroit December
My lips split open
Bitter, remember
I cut through cold like steel in the dark
But the bite too sharp, takes a mark
I stomp, I slump, I scream
I fight the freeze
Go now, leave now,
Grit in my teeth
Zero
Two days snowed in
Hopes on hold
Teeth are chattering, truth is told
Wrists raw, nights long
Rain turns sleet
Days drip
My dreams slip
Ice GOT to GO!
[Chorus] Go away, go away, go away, ice
You held on long enough
You swallowed my life
Go away, go away, go away, ice
You freeze my days
Crack my nights
[Verse 2] Cold on the concrete, hard times
Streets silver, slip in the lines
Maybe you never
Slept in parkas
Maybe you cozy
Never gone darker
I needed rent, heat pipe broke
Nose numb, city’s a joke
Winter wages—all spent, no heat
Women weep at bus stops, lost sleep
I keep moving, have to hustle
Another block, another struggle
Ice, you build bridges then break bones
You coat the grip of my worn phone
Not just weather, it’s system stone
Frozen hearts don’t make it alone
I’m yelling now, snow in my throat
Ice GOT to GO!
[Chorus] Go away, go away, go away, ice
You held on long enough
You swallowed my life
Go away, go away, go away, ice
You freeze my days
Crack my nights
[Bridge] I watched the pipes burst
I felt the chill first
I lost old neighbors
I counted costs, worse
Go away—repeat, repeat
Go away—you steal heat
Go away—beat retreat
Go away, go away, ICE
[Verse 3] Spring, come save us
Street salt crust
Dreams in defrost
Lift me out this frost
Mittens soaked, hunger aches
Lives on the line, how much can we take?
Kids in classrooms, coats zipped tight
People in shelters, shivering at night
I say enough, stand up, shout out
We shatter your grip, we throw you out
No more numb, enough of the pain
Melt, vanish, dissolve in the rain
Ice GOT to GO!
[Chorus] Go away, go away, go away, ice
You held on long enough
You swallowed my life
Go away, go away, go away, ice
You freeze my days
Crack my nights
Go away, go away
Go away, ice
[Outro] burrr....brrrrr....burrr...brrrrr...
Ice GOT to GO!
