Ben Harper ~ I'll Rise


You may write me down in history With your bitter twisted lies You may trod me down in the very dirt And still like the dust i'll rise Does my happiness upset you Why are you best with gloom Cause i laugh like i've got an oil well Pumpin' in my living room So you may shoot me with your words You may cut me with your eyes And i'll rise I'll rise I'll rise Out of the shacks of history's shame Up from a past rooted in pain I'll rise I'll rise I'll rise Now did you want to see me broken Bowed head and lowered eyes Shoulders fallen down like tear drops Weakened by my soulful cries Does my confidence upset you Don't you take it awful hard Cause i walk like i've got a diamond mine Breakin' up in my front yard So you may shoot me with your words You may cut me with your eyes And i'll rise I'll rise I'll rise Out of the shacks of history's shame Up from a past rooted in pain I'll rise I'll rise I'll rise So you may write me down in history With your bitter twisted lies You may trod me down in the very dirt And still like the dust i'll rise Does my happiness upset you Why are you best with gloom Cause i laugh like i've got a goldmine Diggin' up in my living room So you may shoot me with your words You may cut me with your eyes And i'll rise I'll rise I'll rise Out of the shacks of history's shame Up from a past rooted in pain I'll rise I'll rise I'll rise more free lyrics

You may write me down in history
With your bitter twisted lies
You may trod me down in the very dirt
And still like the dust i'll rise
Does my happiness upset you
Why are you best with gloom
Cause i laugh like i've got an oil well
Pumpin' in my living room

So you may shoot me with your words
You may cut me with your eyes
And i'll rise
I'll rise
I'll rise
Out of the shacks of history's shame
Up from a past rooted in pain
I'll rise
I'll rise
I'll rise

Now did you want to see me broken
Bowed head and lowered eyes
Shoulders fallen down like tear drops
Weakened by my soulful cries

Does my confidence upset you
Don't you take it awful hard
Cause i walk like i've got a diamond mine
Breakin' up in my front yard

So you may shoot me with your words
You may cut me with your eyes
And i'll rise
I'll rise
I'll rise
Out of the shacks of history's shame
Up from a past rooted in pain
I'll rise
I'll rise
I'll rise

So you may write me down in history
With your bitter twisted lies
You may trod me down in the very dirt
And still like the dust i'll rise
Does my happiness upset you
Why are you best with gloom
Cause i laugh like i've got a goldmine
Diggin' up in my living room

So you may shoot me with your words
You may cut me with your eyes
And i'll rise
I'll rise
I'll rise
Out of the shacks of history's shame
Up from a past rooted in pain
I'll rise
I'll rise
I'll rise

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
