You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies
You may beat me down and break me
But still, I'll rise

Does my hatefulness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
With my knife I'll take your heartbeat
Right here in my living room

Just like drugs that get me high
The escape I feel that makes me wise
Numb the pain and stem the ties
Still I'll rise

I felt lost, I've felt broken?
Bowed head and with lowered eyes?
Shoulders heavy with my burdens
Weakened by my soulful cries?

Does my presence here offend you?
Does it feel awful hard
You stopped my life I took for granted
Now lay to rest in my backyard

You may shoot me with your words
You may cut me with your eyes
You may kill me with your hands
But I will rise

Does my sallowness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
Revenge is mine, all you see
Is the blackness of my eyes

Out of the mouth you'll say her name
I rise
With your last breath you'll feel her pain
I rise
I'm a martyr, I feel inside
Slowly rising I bear the tide

Leaving behind nights of fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave
I am the the dream and the hope of the slave
I rise
I rise
I rise
