Still I Rise

This may come as a shock to you, but I've been broken all of my life.

I thought my heart would shatter, from the many deceit and crueful lies.

It seemed I've cried an river every time tears left my eyes.

But still like dust risen by wind I'll overcome and rise.

 

My opposer tried to break me, threw hella dirt on my name.

Hidden lies, all made up, just for a little social media fame.

Gun range, shots fired, but your bullet didn't leave a stain.

But the opposite of rain pouring down, I'll concentrate up, and gracefully I'll rise.

 

Was I put through "Hell?' yes

What am I now? Truly loved and blessed

Old stories, old friends, you know the rest'

Did your words cause me to die?

Did you get the attention you wanted with your lies?
At the end of the day, I sleep at night.

But in the morning... I rise

I rise

I rise

I

Rise
