[00:00.57]You may write me down in history
[00:04.38]With your bitter twisted lies
[00:07.74]You may tread me down in the very dirt
[00:11.34]And still like the dust I'll rise
[00:14.70]Does my happiness upset you
[00:18.36]Why are you beset with gloom
[00:21.75]'Cause I laugh like I've got an oil well
[00:25.29]Pumpin' in my living room
[00:27.96]So you may shoot me with your words
[00:31.62]You may cut me with your eyes
[00:35.34]And I'll rise
[00:37.14]I'll rise
[00:38.91]I'll rise
[00:39.78]Out of the shacks of history's shame
[00:45.39]Up from a past rooted in pain
[00:49.02]I'll rise
[00:50.70]I'll rise
[00:52.50]I'll rise
[00:53.37]Rise rise rise
[00:53.70]Now did you want to see me broken
[00:59.28]Bowed head and lowered eyes
[01:02.43]Shoulders fallen down like tear drops
[01:05.82]Weakened by my soulful cries
[01:09.45]Does my confidence upset you
[01:12.99]Don't you take it awful hard
[01:16.41]'Cause I walk like I've got a diamond mine
[01:19.98]Breakin' up in my front yard
[01:22.95]So you may shoot me with your words
[01:26.49]You may cut me with your eyes
[01:30.18]And I'll rise
[01:32.04]I'll rise
[01:33.75]I'll rise
[01:35.13]Out of the shacks of history's shame
[01:40.20]Up from a past rooted in pain
[01:43.92]I'll rise
[01:45.63]I'll rise
[01:47.34]I'll rise
[01:49.08]Rise rise rise
[01:50.34]So you may write me down in history
[01:53.91]With your bitter twisted lies
[01:57.27]You may tread me down in the very dirt
[02:01.08]And still like the dust I'll rise
[02:04.11]Does my happiness upset you
[02:07.74]Why are you beset with gloom
[02:11.00]'Cause I laugh like I've got a goldmine
[02:14.61]Diggin' up in my living room
[02:17.37]So you may shoot me with your words
[02:20.79]You may cut me with your eyes
[02:24.69]And I'll rise
[02:26.34]I'll rise

[02:28.68]Out of the shacks of history's shame
[02:34.47]Up from a past rooted in pain
[02:38.04]I'll rise
[02:39.75]I'll rise
[02:41.46]I'll rise
[02:42.24]Yes I'll rise
[02:44.49]So you may shoot me with your words
[02:47.67]You may cut me with your eyes
[02:51.51]I'll rise
