Irony

The verbal irony is apparent in how 21 savage described his heart. Obviously, his heart isn't ice it's moreover how he feels emotionally. He feels like his emotions are gone he can no longer feel any emotions.

Full lyric: "My heart so cold, I could put it in my cup".

In "A Lot," 21 Savage uses the metaphor "abandoned ship" to express the betrayal he felt when some fans turned away and stopped supporting him during challenging times.

Full lyric: "I had some fans that hopped and abandoned ship"

"My brother lost his life, and it turned me into a beast"

and

"I been through the storm, and it turned me to a G"
