lirik lagu desiree camilleri (queen) - if i were a boy
sassy american poem ~ still i rise
by maya angelou
share
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 k!ll me with your hatefulness
but still, like air, i’ll rise
does my s~xiness 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
if i were a boy, even just for a day
i’d roll outta bed in the mornin’
and throw on what i wanted, then go
drink beer with the guys
and chase after girls
i’d kick it with who i wanted
and i’d never get confronted for it
’cause they’d stick up for me
if i were a boy
i think i could understand
how it feels to love a girl
i swear i’d be a better man
i’d listen to her
’cause i know how it hurts
when you lose the one you wanted
’cause he’s taken you for granted
and everything you had got destroyed
if i were a boy
i would turn off my phone
tell everyone it’s broken
so they’d think that i was sleepin’ alone
i’d put myself first
and make the rules as i go
’cause i know that she’d be faithful
waitin’ for me to come home, to come home
if i were a boy
i think i could understand
how it feels to love a girl
i swear i’d be a better man
i’d listen to her
’cause i know how it hurts
when you lose the one you wanted (wanted)
’cause he’s taken you for granted (granted)
and everything you had got destroyed
it’s a little too late for you to come back
say it’s just a mistake
think i’d forgive you like that
if you thought i would wait for you
you thought wrong
but you’re just a boy
you don’t understand
yeah, you don’t understand, oh
how it feels to love a girl, someday
you’ll wish you were a better man
you don’t listen to her
you don’t care how it hurts
until you lose the one you wanted
’cause you’ve taken her for granted
and everything you have got destroyed
but you’re just a boy
