Still I Rise

01 You may write me down in history

02 With your bitter, twisted lies,

03 You may trod me in the very dirt

04 But still, like dust, I’ll rise.

05 Does my sassiness upset you?

06 Why are you beset with gloom?

07 ‘Cause I walk like I've got oil wells

08 Pumping in my living room.

09 Just like moons and suns,

10 With the certainty of tides,

11 Just like hopes, springing high,

12 Still I'll rise.

13 Did you want to see me broken?

14 Bowed head and lowered eyes?

15 Shoulders falling down like teardrops,

16 Weakened by my soulful cries?

17 Does my haughtiness offend you?

18 Don't you take it awful hard

19 ’Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines

20 Diggin’ in my own backyard.

21 You may shoot me with your words,

22 You may cut me with your eyes.

23 You may kill me with your hatefulness,

24 But still, like air, I'll rise.

25 Does my sexiness upset you?

26 Does it come as a surprise

27 That I dance like I've got diamonds

28 At the meeting of my thighs?

29 Out of the huts of history's shame

30 I rise

31 Up from a past that's rooted in pain

32 I rise

33 I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,

34 Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.

35 Leaving behind nights of terror and fear

36 I rise

37 Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear

38 I rise

39 Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,

40 I am the dream and the hope of the slave,

41 I rise

42 I rise

43 I rise
