Every day to take away a little piece of you, a little piece of me
The good things in life are free, no they'll never take that away from me
People get up, get out of your cage
The pawns that control you are turning the page
Boiling water that been poured on your breath
Same hot mess that we're swimming in now
And all of you racists can say what you want
But soon they'll be coming for you, but more than just cause
And I pray for the day when the power of love
Is stronger than the knife that cut us up
Every day to take away a little piece of you, a little piece of me
The good things in life are free, no they'll never take that away from me
Every day to take away a little piece of you, a little piece of me
The good things in life are free, no they'll never take that away from me
It's a march to the pit, so righteous beware
They'll step on you here and they'll step on you there
The oldest lie to ever be told
The fury in the heart of a woman so bold
And after the ashes, after the blood
After the waters rise up from the flood
Who will you look for, the place to blame?
The media, the system, the ones with no name
It's a long, kind, running, running
It's a long, kind, coming, coming
Every day to take away a little piece of you, a little piece of me
The good things in life are free, no they'll never take that away from me
Every day to take away a little piece of you, a little piece of me
The good things in life are free, no they'll never take that away from me
One step forward, two steps back
Three steps back
Every day to take away a little piece of you, a little piece of me
The good things in life are free, no they'll never take that away from me
Every day to take away a little piece of you, a little piece of me
The good things in life are free, no they'll never take that away from me
One step forward, two steps back
One step forward, two steps back
One step forward, two steps back
One step forward, two steps back
One step forward, two steps back
