You may write me down in historyWith your bitter twisted liesYou may trod me down in the very dirtAnd still like the dust I'll riseDoes my happiness upset youWhy are you best with gloomCause I laugh like I've got an oil wellPumpin' in my living roomSo you may shoot me with your wordsYou may cut me with your eyesAnd I'll riseI'll riseI'll riseOut of the shacks of history's shameUp from a past rooted in painI'll riseI'll riseI'll riseNow did you want to see me brokenBowed head and lowered eyesShoulders fallen down like tear dropsWeakened by my soulful criesDoes my confidence upset youLetras de cancionesDon't you take it awful hardCause I walk like I've got a diamond mineBreakin up in my front yardSo you may shoot me with your wordsYou may cut me with your eyesAnd I'll riseI'll riseI'll riseOut of the shacks of history's shameUp from a past rooted in painI'll riseI'll riseI'll riseSo you may write me down in historyWith your bitter twisted liesYou may trod me down in the very dirtAnd still like the dust I'll riseDoes my happiness upset youWhy are you best with gloomCause I laugh like I've got a goldmineDiggin' up in my living roomNow you may shoot me with your wordsYou may cut me with your eyesAnd I'll riseI'll riseI'll riseOut of the shacks of history's shameUp from a past rooted in painI'll riseI'll riseI'll rise From Letras Mania
