Still I Rise
You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I`ll rise.
Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom? Cause I
Walk like I`ve got oil wells Pumping in my living room. Just like
moons and like suns, With the certainty of tides, Just like hopes
springing high, Still I`ll rise. Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes? Shoulders falling down like teardrops,
Weakened by my soulful cries. Does my haugtiness offend you? Don`t
you take it awful hard Cause I laugh like I`ve got gold mines
Diggin` in my own back yard. You may shoot me with your words, You
may cut me with your eyes, You may kill me with your hatefullness,
But still, like air, I rise. Does my sexiness upset you? Does it
come as a surprise That I dance like I`ve got diamonds At the
meeting of my thighs? Out of the huts of history`s shame I rise Up
from a past that`s rooted in pain I rise I`m a black ocean, leaping
and wide, Welling and swelling I bear in the tide. Leaving behind
nights of terror and fear I rise Into a daybreak that`s wonderously
clear I rise Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, I am the
dream and the hope of the slave. I rise I rise I rise
