I'll Rise |
| You may write me down in history |
| With your bitter twisted lies |
| You may trod me down in the very dirt |
| And still like the dust I’ll rise |
| Does my happiness upset you |
| Why are you best with gloom |
| Cause I laugh like I’ve got an oil well |
| Pumpin' in my living room |
| So you may shoot me with your words |
| You may cut me with your eyes |
| And I’ll rise |
| I’ll rise |
| I’ll rise |
| Out of the shacks of history’s shame |
| Up from a past rooted in pain |
| I’ll rise |
| I’ll rise |
| I’ll rise |
| Now did you want to see me broken |
| Bowed head and lowered eyes |
| Shoulders fallen down like tear drops |
| Weakened by my soulful cries |
| Does my confidence upset you |
| Don’t you take it awful hard |
| Cause I walk like I’ve got a diamond mine |
| Breakin up in my front yard |
| So you may shoot me with your words |
| You may cut me with your eyes |
| And I’ll rise |
| I’ll rise |
| I’ll rise |
| Out of the shacks of history’s shame |
| Up from a past rooted in pain |
| I’ll rise |
| I’ll rise |
| I’ll rise |
| So you may write me down in history |
| With your bitter twisted lies |
| You may trod me down in the very dirt |
| And still like the dust I’ll rise |
| Does my happiness upset you |
| Why are you best with gloom |
| Cause I laugh like I’ve got a goldmine |
| Diggin' up in my living room |
| Now you may shoot me with your words |
| You may cut me with your eyes |
| And I’ll rise |
| I’ll rise |
| I’ll rise |
| Out of the shacks of history’s shame |
| Up from a past rooted in pain |
| I’ll rise |
| I’ll rise |
| I’ll rise |
