Still I Rise
You may think that you’re better than all
With your hatred towards everyone
You may think what you want
But still, like rockets, I’ll rise.
Does my swag bother you?
Why are y’all hating
‘Cause I walk like no other out there
With my head held up high
Just like everyone with their high expectations
With the thought of never giving up
Just like there’s no footprints on the moon
Still I’ll rise
Did you want to try to get to me
And see my reaction
Shoulders falling down like your IQ score
Weakened by lacked of knowledge
Does my presence disturb you
Don’t you know that I really don’t care
‘Cause I laugh like if you just got hit by a bus
Trust me, I would be laughing pretty hard
You may think that you can get to me
You may talk all the garbage you want
You my hate me for who I am
But still, like blood pressure, I’ll rise.
Does my intelligence disturb you also?
Does it bother you that you’ll never be like me
That I dance like I don’t care
At the sound of the tune
Out of the huts of history’s shame
I rise
Up from a past that’s rooted in pain
I rise
I’m a person that forgives but never forgets
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide
Leaving behind all the useless memories
I rise
Bringing the memories that will always stay
I am going to follow my dreams
I rise
I rise
I rise
