Little Tyrannies (feat. Charlotte Turner)
She feels his hand upon her back
A little touch unseen attack
He commands her to give a smile
Little tyrannies
They see him and they cross the street
Furtive glances for police
And privilege takes away his peace
Little tyrannies
There's a problem we designed
Built on slavery and genocide
New world arrived
New world arise
Pro-life till the baby's born
Then life is poverty and scorn
There's only cash for guns and war
Little tyrannies
Every day in every space
Subjugation gender race
Power firmly set in place
A billion little tyrannies
Don't let it become
Something we can't come back from
A little spark and this could become
Tulsa 1921
Military gaslight,
Redline, subprime
Legal evil weaponized
Casting couch war crimes
Stolen land, INS
Colonized homeland gerrymander, suppress
Lethal force, silenced
Legislated tyranny
Overt kleptocracy
Stonewall, lynch tree
Bodies voided, property
We can't breathe
No one's free
Can't get out from underneath
Stop your reign of tyranny
No justice no peace
No more little tyrannies
We can make it become
Free and just for everyone
History is vulnerable tonight
History can be made right
A little touch unseen attack
He commands her to give a smile
Little tyrannies
They see him and they cross the street
Furtive glances for police
And privilege takes away his peace
Little tyrannies
There's a problem we designed
Built on slavery and genocide
New world arrived
New world arise
Pro-life till the baby's born
Then life is poverty and scorn
There's only cash for guns and war
Little tyrannies
Every day in every space
Subjugation gender race
Power firmly set in place
A billion little tyrannies
Don't let it become
Something we can't come back from
A little spark and this could become
Tulsa 1921
Military gaslight,
Redline, subprime
Legal evil weaponized
Casting couch war crimes
Stolen land, INS
Colonized homeland gerrymander, suppress
Lethal force, silenced
Legislated tyranny
Overt kleptocracy
Stonewall, lynch tree
Bodies voided, property
We can't breathe
No one's free
Can't get out from underneath
Stop your reign of tyranny
No justice no peace
No more little tyrannies
We can make it become
Free and just for everyone
History is vulnerable tonight
History can be made right
