*Music starts playing*
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 sad with gloom
Cause I laugh like I've got an oil well
Pumpin' in my living room
You may shoot me with your words
You may cut me with your eyes
But I'll rise
I'll rise
I'm going to rise
Does my, happiness upset you
Why are you upset with gloom
Cause I laugh
like I've got a diamondmine
Diggin' up in my living room
you may shoot me with your words
You may cut me with your eyes
But I'm going to rise
I'm going to rise
