Rise

You broke my spirit by saying "I can't " But I will rise You push me down Yes I have fallen but I will rise You destroy me with your hatred and your lies But I will rise You think you are better than I am , because you sit behind a desk and they call you boss. You look down on me because I don't have your teachings. But I will rise You think success is measured by what you have ? I don't have what you have nor do I want it. But I will rise You tell the world I can't amount to anything But watch me , I will rise ...yes I will rise from the ground, nothing will stop me! I see your laugher, I see you ridiculing me But I will rise I will rise from all the pain and stand tall on the mountain top , in all my glory You fight me and we have the same skin shade, our forefathers would be ashamed. I will rise I will not hate you for thinking you are better than I am , your ego enslave your heart . I will not look down an another for we are all equal no matter where we come from. We all can rise
