    You may write me down i history

    With your bitter, twisted lies,

    You may trod me in the very dirt

    But still, like dust, Ill rise.

    Does my sassiness upset you?

    Why are you beset with gloom?

    Cause I walk like Ive 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 Ill 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?

    Dont you take it awful hard

    Cause I laugh like Ive got gold mines

    Diggin in my own back yard.

    You may shoot m<u>.</u>e with your words,

    You may cut me with your eyes,

    You may kill me with your hatefulness,

    But still, like air, Ill rise.

    Does my sexiness upset you?

    Does it e as a surprise

    That I dance like Ive got diamonds

    At the meeting of my thighs?

    Out of the huts of historys shame

    I rise

    Up from a past thats rooted in pain

    I rise

    Im a black o, leaping and wide,

    Welling and swelling I bear iide.

    Leaving behind nights of terror and fear

    I rise

    Into a daybreak thats wondrously clear

    I rise

    Bringing the gifts that my藏书网 aave,

    I am the dre<big>?９９ｌｉb?</big>am and the hope of the slave.

    I rise

    I rise

    I rise.
