[Intro] Yeah We talking policy Not people Turn it up [Verse 1] You raid homes at dawn Kick doors Guns drawn But you scared of a grandma With a hairnet on Steel cuffs on a kid For a visa that expired Whole block wide awake From the fear you inspired Say "just doing my job" Like that line explains pain Like a paycheck can wash Every tear down a drain You don’t guard any borders You just circle the poor Turn a bus into a cage Call that "keeping the score" [Chorus] Melt the ICE You ain't justice You a price tag Paper armor Heart colder than a body bag Melt the ICE You ain't safety You a scheme Breaking up a little boy’s birthday dream Melt the ICE Every knock on the door That’s trauma Writing handcuffs into law That’s drama Melt the ICE We see through the badge and the lies You don’t protect us You terrorize [Verse 2] You step in a school Pull a father from a chair Little girl clutching crayons Screaming "don’t take him from there" You call that "law and order" I call that state crime You got spreadsheets for sorrow Fill a quota on time You raid folks from a factory While the boss gets a pass Brown hands in a box truck Rich man first class You don’t touch the ones Who funded your raid You just drag the workers out Who barely getting paid [Chorus] Melt the ICE You ain't justice You a price tag Paper armor Heart colder than a body bag Melt the ICE You ain't safety You a scheme Breaking up a little boy’s birthday dream Melt the ICE Every knock on the door That’s trauma Writing handcuffs into law That’s drama Melt the ICE We see through the badge and the lies You don’t protect us You terrorize [Bridge] You fear children in backpacks Mamas with lunch sacks You flex on the soft ones Never on the cash stacks Whole system built On a scapegoat script Rip a family in half Then call it "tight ship" (yeah) [Chorus] Melt the ICE You ain't justice You a price tag Paper armor Heart colder than a body bag Melt the ICE You ain't safety You a scheme Breaking up a little boy’s birthday dream Melt the ICE Every knock on the door That’s trauma Writing handcuffs into law That’s drama Melt the ICE We see through the badge and the lies You don’t protect us You terrorize
