Soul on Ice Songtext
von Meshell Ndegeocello

Hip-hop in a white man′s world
Gone into nigga-fied future shock

Visions of a virginal white beauty dancing in your head
Your soul's on ice
Your soul′s on ice

Illusions of her virginal white beauty dancing in your head
You let the sisters go by
Your soul's on ice
We've been indoctrinated and convinced
By the white racist standard of beauty
The overwhelming popularity of seeing
Better off being and looking white
My brothers attempt to defy the white
Man′s law and his system of values
Defile his white women but my mind dances in the slave house again


Visions of a virginal white beauty dancing in your head
Your soul′s on ice
Your soul's on ice
Illusions of her virginal white beauty dancing in your head
You let my sisters go by
Your soul′s on ice

Brother, brother, brother
Are you suffering from a social infection, misdirection?
Excuse me, does your white woman go
Better with your Brooks Brothers suit?
I have psychotic dreams of jism and a white chalk line
You let my sisters go by

Used to be customary to vow one's eyes at the sight of a white face
Constant fade cream, sad passion, deferred dreams
I am a reflection of you, black and blue
Pure as the tears of coal-colored children crying for acceptance
You can′t run from yourself, she's just an illusion

Visions of a virginal white beauty dancing in your head
Your soul′s on ice
Your soul's on ice
Illusions of her virginal white beauty dancing in your head
You let my sisters go by
Your soul's on ice


Brother, brother, brother
Are you suffering from a social infection, misdirection?
Excuse me, does your white woman go
Better with your Brooks Brothers suit?
I have psychotic dreams of jism and a white chalk line
You let my sisters go by

Used to be customary to vow one′s eyes at the sight of a white face
Constant fade cream, sad passion, deferred dreams
I am a reflection of you, black and blue
Pure as the tears of coal-colored children crying for acceptance
You can′t run from yourself, she's just an illusion

Visions of a virginal white beauty dancing in your head
Your soul′s on ice
Your soul's on ice
Illusions of her virginal white beauty dancing in your head
You let my sisters go by
Your soul′s on ice

That open-minded love thing and equality thing
Take a look in the mirror
You don't love yourself
We′ve been indoctrinated and convinced
By the white racist standard of beauty
My mind dances in the slave house again
Yeah, all an illusion
