Still I Rise
September 9, 2015
Does the tone of my voice annoy you?
As if I'm the president's wife?
Because my voice is filled with confidence
So high that only skyscrapers can meet
Is my dress causing you anger?
As if I've got a million bucks
But I'm only making do with that I have in life
Something that you struggle to do
