\"Still<\/a><\/p>\n

Let’s read together Still I Rise<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You may write me down in history
\nWith your bitter, twisted lies,
\nYou may trod me in the very dirt
\nBut still, like dust, I’ll rise.<\/p>\n

Does my sassiness upset you?
\nWhy are you beset with gloom?
\n‘Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells
\nPumping in my living room.<\/p>\n

Just like moons and like suns,
\nWith the certainty of tides,
\nJust like hopes springing high,
\nStill I’ll rise.<\/p>\n

Did you want to see me broken?
\nBowed head and lowered eyes?
\nShoulders falling down like teardrops,
\nWeakened by my soulful cries?<\/p>\n

Does my haughtiness offend you?
\nDon’t you take it awful hard
\n‘Cause I laugh like I’ve got gold mines
\nDiggin’ in my own backyard.<\/p>\n

You may shoot me with your words,
\nYou may cut me with your eyes,
\nYou may kill me with your hatefulness,
\nBut still, like air, I’ll rise.<\/p>\n

Does my sexiness upset you?
\nDoes it come as a surprise
\nThat I dance like I’ve got diamonds
\nAt the meeting of my thighs?<\/p>\n

Out of the huts of history’s shame
\nI rise
\nUp from a past that’s rooted in pain
\nI rise
\nI’m a black ocean, leaping and wide,
\nWelling and swelling I bear in the tide.<\/p>\n

Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
\nI rise
\nInto a daybreak that’s wondrously clear
\nI rise
\nBringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
\nI am the dream and the hope of the slave.
\nI rise
\nI rise
\nI rise.<\/p>\n
