You may write me down in the past
With your bitter, twisted lies .
You may tread me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I will rise.
Did you want to see me broken?
Did you want to see me fallen?
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.
Did you want to see me broken?
Did you want to see me fallen?
Out of the huts of history's shame
I will rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I will rise
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
I will rise
Leaving behind the nights of terror
I will rise
Yeah, Still I Rise!
