There is a virus
in the system
can you recognize my voice
This gray syllabus
consumes our horizons
will we see the stars
through these metal bars
Can't you see
I'm a self assassin
once again
running from your law
but I wish
I could really face it all
you'll always be safe
in my DNA
High above the woods
we seal the buildings
birds are mourning
for gravity
We dance alone
in a circle
will we hit the ground
if we fall
Can't you see
I'm a self assassin
once again
running from your love
but I wish
I could really face it all
you'll always be safe
in my DNA

You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I’ll rise.
Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
‘Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I’ll rise.
Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops,
Weakened by my soulful cries?
Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don’t you take it awful hard
‘Cause I laugh like I’ve got gold mines
Diggin’ in my own backyard.
You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.
Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I’ve got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?
Out of the huts of history’s shame
I rise
Up from a past that’s rooted in pain
I rise
I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.

The Oath
02:41
|
|||
|
I will take this oath again
every bloody afternoon
I will not compromise
I need to find my love
|
||||
5. |
||||
|
I live by the ocean
and during the night
I dive into it
down to the bottom
Underneath all currents
and drop my anchor
and this is where i'm staying
this is my home

I Didn't Come Here
02:30
|
|||
|
I didn't come here to masturbate my soul
I'm here to make love with universe
I didn't come here to understand my songs
I'm here to make love with the universe
I didn't come here i want you to know
I didnt come here to be on my own
I didnt come here to change this world
I didnt come here to die on my own

Deconstruction
03:21
|
|||
|
Sit down and smell no harm
Release me from your charm
I will paint your every step
If only structures reverse.
Please take your concrete floor
reveal ground I adore
I will step your every inch
if only sunsets reverse.
We deconstruct
we keep our heads above the water
we feel so weak
and the pain gains more and more power
we'd like to sleep
we'd like you to reverse our sins.
