- Still I Rise
by Maya Angelou

Read the poem
"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...
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise "

Living
for the city sung by Stevie Wonder
"Her brother's smart he's got more sense than many
His patience's long but soon he won't have any
To find a job is like a haystack needle
Cause where he lives they don't use colored people
Living just enough, just enough for the city..."
