'Still I Rise' by Maya Angelou (1987, Live performance)
(Final poem from 'Maya Angelou - Live and Unplugged')
Still I Rise
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
’Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.
Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops,
Weakened by my soulful cries?
Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
’Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin’ in my own backyard.
You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
...

Not to disrespect my peoples but my poppa was a loser
Only plan he had for momma was to fuck her and abuse her
Even as a little seed, I could see his plan for me
Stranded on welfare, another broken family
Now what was I to be, a product of this heated passion
Momma got pregnant, and poppa got a piece of ass

Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?
Out of the huts of history’s shame
I rise
Up from a past that’s rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.

Somebody wake me I'm dreamin, I started as a seed the semen
Swimmin upstream, planted in the womb while screamin
on the top, was my pops, my momma screamin stop
From a single drop, this is what they got
Not to disrespect my peoples but my poppa was a loser
Only plan he had for momma was to fuck her and abuse her
Even as a little seed, I could see his plan for me
Stranded on welfare, another broken family
Now what was I to be, a product of this heated passion
Momma got pregnant, and poppa got a piece of ass
Look how it began, nobody gave a fuck about me
Pistol in my hand, this cruel world can do without me
How can I survive? Got me askin white Jesus
will a nigga live or die, cause the Lord can't see us
in the deep dark clouds of the projects, ain't no sunshine
No sunny days and we only playED sometimes
When everybody's sleepin
I open my window jump to the streets and get to creepin
I can live or die, hope I get some money 'fore I'm gone
I'm only 19, I'm tryin to hustle on my own
on the spot where everybody and they pops tryin to slang rocks
I'd rather go to college, but this is where the game stops
Don't get it wrong cause it's always on, from dusk to dawn
You can buy rocks glocks or a HEROINBONG
You can ask my man Ishmael Reed
Keep my nine heateR all the time this is how we grind
Meet up at the cemetary then get smoked out, pass the weed nigga
That Hennessey'll keep me keyed nigga
Everywhere I go niggaz holla at me, "Keep it real G"
And my reply tilL they kill me
Act up if you feel me, I was born not to make it but I did
The tribulations of a ghetto kid, still I rise.

Lyrics:
[Verse 1: Young Wicked]
(All my life) I've been fighting for the respect I deserve
Reppin' AMB especially when they hated my word
Treating me differently, dissing me
Giving me shit, it was killing me
Found the ability to never let the bullshit hurt my spirit
Telling myself to put it all in my lyrics
Everytime I'm shining the Devil wanna make an appearance
Cause interference, talking shit about us, I hear it
But never doubted our feelings
I'll be keeping it clear, I know this
How come don't nobody want us
When I was comping up anybody really loved me, I'll be honest
When I'm feeling nervous in my stomach, roll up marijuana
When the Devil is upon us, I'ma kill him, that's a promise
Ugh, wicked everyday and I'm on it
Proving they made us wrong and murdering every opponent
All the grinding every night finally get to this moment
To spit it and know it, you'll never get rid of a soldier
But I'll never let somebody tell me that I'm less than
Never trust nobody with a bunch of fucking yes man
Never will I put up with the freshness
Still you coming at me, I'm responding with aggression
I was born to be the man I am
And I will never give a damn about a hater or his life
Let 'em all see when you all look at me
Or everything you took from me
It'll never kill the fire in my eyes... Still I rise
[Hook: Young Wicked]
Despite all the evil that's in my life
Hold me down, yeah they all try
But everytime they find that still I rise
Still I rise
[Verse 2: Rittz]
When you wanna rise, everybody say that they fuck with you
But when you fallin off they ain't there to help you out when you need 'em
Waving a flag for you, braggin that they're your homie but only when you was poppin', you hit bottom watch your followers leavin'
(?)Even if I don't see em schemin', homie I done had experience
Spottin' fake friends, plottin' with their co-conspirators
Backstabbin', dates back to the beginnin' of mankind
Drawings on the walls up in Egyptian pyramids
But I won't let em get me little Brutus to the Julius
I'm losin' friends that hang around me, do it cause it's lucrative
As soon as it don't benefit 'em, put they crew to coup, again
I seen the way this movie end, before and it behooves me when
They say they're with the movement but they shown up and it's shit, tryin' to say outlandish shit
Tryna assassinate your character
Swear that they were there when ya, started, say you've changed
Since the fame, they didn't like me back at Strange, homie where the love?
For me to get to where I'm at ain't been a cakewalk
I believe in God I'm grateful that he blessed me
So much pressure it gets hard for me to stay calm
I wonder if it's just a way for him to test me
And see if I'ma let it put me in the graveyard
Or am I tough enough to suck it up well let's see
There ain't a day go by that I ain't gettin' hate from
People that ain't never met me but still I RISE!
[Hook: Young Wicked]
Despite all the evil that's in my life
Hold me down, yeah they all try
But everytime they find that still I rise
Still I rise
[Verse 3: Jamie Madrox]
Feeling like fuck it go ahead and fill in the blank
Cause I never been a people person, fuck you what you think
Day one if you wanna compare days
But this is real talk, so no room for opinions or Johnny fairplay
Punch 'em right in the face with them off collar comments they Got it comin I'm second guessing my own day
And what I might say, so many butthurt but what's worse?
Ain't enough ass bandaids to make work
Shit's deep, real wolves can't be concerned
With the comments of the opinionated sheep
So I block em all away, wanna throw shade?
While I'm handing out umbrellas and there ain't no sign of rain
I'ma rise through the pain like I'm made of novocaine
And I've been a living legend since the very first day
I'ma batter and abuse 'em my contaminated brain
And I'm here to terminate the competition in the game
New day fuck you in the trumpet
Cut Othellos hands off and fed it to the puppets
Fuck you in the heart cause it's deeper than the duckets
Watch 'em crucified by the public, tell me do you love it?
All the things you covet - die
The moment that you made me pick sides
I'm not the ordinary sheep, I aspire to be the shepard
And you can follow me when I fucking rise
[Hook: Young Wicked]
Despite all the evil that's in my life
Hold me down, yeah they all try
But everytime they find that still I rise
Still I rise

Still I Rise
BY MAYA ANGELOU
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
’Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.
Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops,
Weakened by my soulful cries?
Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
’Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin’ in my own backyard.
You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.
Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?
Out of the huts of history’s shame
I rise
Up from a past that’s rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.

Still I Rise
BY MAYA ANGELOU
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
’Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.
Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops,
Weakened by my soulful cries?
Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
’Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin’ in my own backyard.
You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.
Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?
Out of the huts of history’s shame
I rise
Up from a past that’s rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.
