Still I Rise By: Maya Angelou:

Ben Harper: media type="youtube" key="6Mef36R2iJk" height="315" width="420" With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I'll rise.
 * **Still I Rise ** ||  ||
 * By Maya Angalou ||
 * You may write me down in history

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? <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">Shoulders falling down like teardrops, <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">Weakened by my soulful cries?

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">Does my haughtiness offend you? <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">Don't you take it awful hard <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">Diggin' in my own backyard.

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">You may shoot me with your words, <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">You may cut me with your eyes, <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">You may kill me with your hatefulness, <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">But still, like air, I'll rise.

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">Does my sexiness upset you? <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">Does it come as a surprise <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">That I dance like I've got diamonds <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">At the meeting of my thighs?

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">Out of the huts of history's shame <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">I rise

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">Up from a past that's rooted in pain <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">I rise <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide, <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">Leaving behind nights of terror and fear <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">I rise <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">I rise <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">I am the dream and the hope of the slave. <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">I rise <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">I rise <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">I rise. ||
