I'll Rise

[00:00.95] You may write me down in history
[00:04.39] With your bitter, twisted lies
[00:07.88] You may trod me down in the very dirt
[00:11.63] And still like the dust I'll rise
[00:14.76] Does my happiness upset you?
[00:18.20] Why are you best with gloom?
[00:21.27] 'Cause I laugh like I've got an oil well
[00:25.08] Pumping in my living room
[00:27.71] So you may you shoot me with your words
[00:31.57] You may cut me with your eyes
[00:35.10] And I'll rise
[00:37.15] I'll rise
[00:38.94] I'll rise, rise, rise
[00:41.85] Out of the shacks of history's shame
[00:45.27] Up from a past rooted in pain
[00:48.97] I'll rise
[00:50.74] I'll rise
[00:52.57] I'll rise, rise, rise
[00:55.17] Now did you want to see me broken?
[00:59.38] Bowed head and lowered eyes
[01:02.33] Shoulders fallen down like tear drops
[01:05.63] Weakened by my soulful cries
[01:09.29] Does my confidence upset you?
[01:12.97] Don't you take it awful hard
[01:16.02] 'Cause I walk like I've got a diamond mine
[01:20.07] Breakin' up in my front yard
[01:22.82] So you may shoot me with your words
[01:26.56] You may cut me with your eyes
[01:30.10] And I'll rise
[01:31.87] I'll rise
[01:33.63] I'll rise, rise, rise
[01:36.76] Out of the shacks of history's shame
[01:39.96] Up from a past rooted in pain
[01:43.91] I'll rise
[01:45.59] I'll rise
[01:47.33] I'll rise, rise, rise
[01:49.82] So you may write me down in history
[01:53.87] With your bitter, twisted lies
[01:57.22] You may trod me down in the very dirt
[02:00.93] And still like the dust I'll rise
[02:04.14] Does my happiness upset you?
[02:07.53] Why are you best with gloom?
[02:10.89] 'Cause I laugh like I've got a gold mine
[02:14.39] Diggin' up in my living room
[02:17.39] You may shoot me with your words
[02:20.86] You may cut me with your eyes
[02:24.46] And I'll rise
[02:26.14] I'll rise
[02:27.94] I'll rise, rise, rise
[02:31.04] Out of the shacks of history's shame
[02:34.22] Up from a past rooted in pain
[02:38.07] I'll rise
[02:39.88] I'll rise
[02:41.30] I'll rise, yes I'll rise
[02:44.14] So you may shoot me with your words
[02:47.70] You may cut me with your eyes
[02:51.27] And I'll rise
[02:53.16] I'll rise
[02:54.97] I'll rise, rise, rise
[02:57.77] Out of the shacks of history's shame
[03:01.03] Up from a past rooted in pain
[03:04.70] I'll rise
[03:06.53] I'll rise
[03:08.10] I'll rise, rise, rise
[03:10.62] I'm gonna rise
[03:13.13] I'll rise
[03:14.84] I'll rise, rise, rise
[03:17.74] I'll rise
[03:19.71] I'll rise
[03:21.76] I'll rise, rise, rise
[03:30.02]

[05:44.26] Don't mind dyin', child of god
