You may write me down in history. You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I'll rise.
Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom? 'Cause I walk like I've got slaver dogs biting 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? Shoulders falling down like teardrops. Weakened by my soulful cries.
Does my haughtiness offend you? Don't you take it awful hard 'Cause I laugh like I've got Vitoc mines Diggin' in my own back yard.
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.
Does my defiance upset you? Does it come as a surprise That I dance like I've got megacyte At the meeting of my thighs?
Out of the pods of history's shame I rise Up from a past that's rooted in pain I rise I'm a tribal ocean, leaping and wide, Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear I rise Into a daybreak that's wonderously clear I rise Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, I am the dream and the hope of the slave. I rise I rise I rise.

and still...we rise
The northern forest strides to the edge of the sea-cliff.
At dusk birds tell the story in darkening boughs:
The fortunate son has ridden for days to find
the rock where his father left a Kuhmaak. It flashes
in sunset--the boy knows in his veins and sinews
the hilt will fit perfectly his hands. Red waves
recall the blaze of that great forge where old gods
are smelted down and new ones raised. The boy steps
to the edge of the cliff and easily draws the blade
"You can go kill people wherever you want if you take the consequences like a man (or a woman)."

and still...I'll rise
we are the stars burning and bright
we are the tribes assembled to fight
"You can go kill people wherever you want if you take the consequences like a man (or a woman)."
