AND STILL I RISE

I have been brutally RAPE
My mind and spirit by this event was shaped
I have been dehumanized, treated as an ape
I have been brain washed and lynched
They gave as much pain as they could inflict
But still my soul is connected with my spirit

I have been homeless
I have been penniless
I have been foodleess
But I have been blessed

I have been discriminated
Spat, insulted, badly treated
I have been exploited
Robbed, killed and as sardines transported
I have been putted to sleep
I have been sold cheaper than meat
I was thrown to this well, deep, deep, deep, deep…
But still my soul is connected with my spirit

I've been taking everything that was offered

I've been poisoned I’ve being death

I’ve been fighting even against my own soul

I’ve been sleeping in devil's home
I opened my arms and my heart was robbed
I became, blind, dumb and deaf
I had several times my neck surrounded by the rope
Awaiting and praying to once for all see the Death
They can inflict more, and more, and more, and more pain
I am an Afrikan so I still will rise again
