Ben Harper - I'll Rise lyrics
You may write me down in history with your bitter twisted lies, you may trod me down in the very dirt. And still like the dust, I'll rise. Does my happiness upset you? Why are you best with gloom cause I laugh, like I've got an oil well pumpin' in my living room? So you may shoot me with your words, you may cut me with your eyes, and I'll rise - I'll rise - I'll rise - rise - rise. Out of the shacks of history's shame, up from a past rooted in pain, and I'll rise - I'll rise - I'll rise - rise - rise. Now did you want to see me broken, bowed head and lowered eyes, shoulders fallen down like teardrops, weakened by my soulful cries. Does my confidence upset you? Don't you take it awful hard cause I walk, like I've got a diamond mine breakin' up in my front yard. So you may shoot me with your words, you may cut me with your eyes, and I'll rise - I'll rise - I'll rise - rise - rise. Out of the shacks of history's shame, up from a past rooted in pain, and I'll rise - I'll rise - I'll rise - rise - rise. So you may write me down in history with your bitter twisted lies. You may trod me down in the very dirt. And still like the dust, I'll rise. Does my happiness upset you? Why are you best with gloom cause I laugh, like I've got a goldmine diggin' up in my living room. You may shoot me with your words, you may cut me with your eyes, and I'll rise - I'll rise - I'll rise - rise - rise. Out of the shacks of history's shame, up from a past rooted in pain, and I'll rise - I'll rise - I'll rise - rise - rise. You may shoot me with your words, you may cut me with your eyes, and I'll rise - I'll rise - I'll rise - rise - rise. Out of the shacks of history's shame, up from a past rooted in pain, I'll rise - I'll rise - I'll rise - rise - rise. I gonna rise - I'll rise - I'll rise - rise - rise. I'll rise - I'll rise - I'll rise - rise - rise. |
