You might tear me into
With your distorted lies
You can stomp me in the very ground
I rise
Does my parody upset you?
Why are you letting me get the best of you?
Cause I imitate you like there is no tomorrow
Laughing just out of the blue
Just like people in a comedy show
With the certainty of laughing and joy
Just like hopes in dreams of tomorrow
Still I rise!
Do you want to see me cry?
Head lowered with tears in my eyes
Shoulders falling everywhere
No, No, that's just not my style
Never letting anyone get me down.
Trusting and having faith in God
Still I rise!
My life has been mapped out
The course has been set
Determination, strength, and faith
has been willed to me
I'm on my way to success
I rise, yes, I rise
