About TYRANT
‘TYRANT’ is the 25th track on COWBOY CARTER and is a complex narrative that intertwines themes of power, control, and desire. The lyrics present a story of a woman confronting a ‘hangman,’ a metaphorical figure who represents someone who has taken something precious from her. The repeated phrase “every time I ride it” suggests a sense of empowerment and control, as if the protagonist is taking charge of her own destiny despite the circumstances. .
TYRANT Lyrics
[00:00.06] Cowboy Carter
[00:02.45] Time to strike a match
[00:03.76] And light up this juke joint
[00:05.92] One-one-one by one, you hang them high
[00:10.39] Your hands are steady and you sleep at night
[00:14.13] How did you turn your heart to stone?
[00:18.05] I don't want him back, but I can't let go
[00:21.94] Hangman, answer me now
[00:25.48] You owe me a debt, you stole him from me
[00:29.43] I hated you once, I envy you now
[00:33.12] Just tell me how, tell me how
[00:37.23]
[00:44.14] (D.a. got that-)
[00:45.60] Oh, she got that whoa there, hangman got that whoa there
[00:49.58] Don't act like you don't know, giddy up, giddy up (d.a. got that dope)
[00:53.87] Don't pay me in gold, giddy up, giddy up
[00:56.92] Back outside, I'm on the road, giddy up, giddy up (hey)
[01:00.63] When the sun goes down (it's night-night, hey)
[01:04.72] Can hear her body howl (in the moonlight, hey)
[01:08.02] I feel her eyein' me like owls (it's on sight, hey)
[01:11.79] Hide your man when the hangman come in town
[01:15.11] She's a tyrant every time I ride it, every time I ride it
[01:20.13] Make it look so good, try to justify it
[01:24.07] Boy, I know they're lookin' for me, how we gonna hide it?
[01:27.75] Ride it like hydraulics, I am such a tyrant
[01:31.62] Every time I ride it, every time I ride it
[01:35.22] I don't like to sit up in the saddle, boy, I got it
[01:38.98] Just relax, I got this, I got that exotic
[01:42.89] Hips are so hypnotic, I am such a tyrant
[01:46.40] Send me some shots, are you with me or not? Throw it back
[01:50.23] Shoot up the bar, tell the law we don't remember nothin' after that
[01:53.76] Scot-free (scot-free), whole city after me
[01:57.96] Have you seen her? 5'9", thick and fine, what a tragedy
[02:01.59] Hey, hey, ridin' you while we tryna get away
[02:04.42] Ridin' you while we tryna catch a wave
[02:06.18] That's so sexy, and I know it, and I ain't afraid to show it
[02:10.18] Baby I'm goated, baby, I'm glowin'
[02:12.06] Hey, hey, on the run, run
[02:14.43] Tap me on the shoulder when you reload the gun
[02:16.44] Tyrant every time I ride it, every time I ride it
[02:21.14] Make it look so good, try to justify it
[02:24.97] Boy, I know they're lookin' for me, how we gonna hide it?
[02:28.65] Ride it like hydraulics, I am such a tyrant
[02:32.40] How did you get used to the haunting? (The haunting)
[02:36.18] The willing, the missing, the wanting (the wanting)
[02:39.93] Dry eyes, you send me across the divine
[02:43.96] Hangman, teach me how not to cry
[02:49.60] How not to cry, how not to cry
[02:55.47] Oh, she got that whoa there, hangman got that whoa there
[02:59.18] Don't act like you don't know (yeah), giddy up, giddy up (d.a. got that dope)
[03:03.21] Don't pay me in gold, giddy up, giddy up
[03:06.27] Back outside, I'm on the road, giddy up, giddy up
[03:10.00] When the sun goes down (when the sun goes down)
[03:14.15] You can hear this body howl (you can hear this body howl)
[03:16.54] Giddy up now, diggadont, diggadont
[03:18.35] Digga daddy, leave me 'lone, leave me 'lone
[03:20.87] Damn if I do, dammit if I don't
[03:22.37] Lady with a whip, want what she wanna want, okay
[03:24.94] Tyrant every time I ride it, every time I ride it
[03:29.57] Make it look so good, cowboys justify it
[03:33.57] Boy, I know they're lookin' for me, how we gonna hide it?
[03:37.48] Ride it like hydraulics, I am such a tyrant
[03:41.33] Every time I ride it, every time I ride it
[03:44.83] Baby, I just don't sit up in saddle, boy, I got it
[03:48.78] Just relax, I got this, I got that exotic
[03:52.66] These hips so hypnotic, I am such a tyrant
[03:55.52] Hangman, answer me now
[03:58.87] You owe me a debt, you stole him from me (giddy up, giddy up)
[04:02.82] I hated you once, I envy you now (hey)
