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
haughtiness offend you?
Don’t you take it awful hard
‘Cause
I laugh like I 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 hatefulness,
But still,
like air, I’ll 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 wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the
hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.
