I met Peyton for the first time when I was 3 and he was 8. I got to spend the next 3 years growing up and getting to hang out with him often. He was always nice to me, even though I was so much younger. I moved away when I was 6, but got to visit a few more times growing up. The last time I hung out with him was '91 when he came to visit our family. It's so awesome to see him live his passion for music. He's sincere, genuine, and heartfelt. Hope our paths meet again one day Peyton.

Quien es el autor del tema, he buscado para saber q dice la letra, quiero saber que dice, gracias. Me gusta mucho la interpretación de Usted Peyton. Gracias
La letra está tomada de un famoso poema de Maya Angelou, quien colaboró con Ben Harper para crear una versión de la canción que Harper interpretó y lanzó en su primer álbum en 1994. En 2004 trabajé con Eric Kupper para crear una versión house, que fue lanzado en Hed Kandi Records. En 2016 realicé una versión acústica simplificada para mi audición de X Factor UK, y luego grabé y lancé esa versión que formó parte de mi álbum Sinners Got Soul Too.
Still I Rise BY MAYA ANGELOU 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.

Still I Rise
BY MAYA ANGELOU
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.
Here is the original Ben Harper version: th-cam.com/video/yaggY8Rpbo8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=x_5D8fN0oHozKPph

❤❤❤❤
He kind of fits between Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel. Great tune.
❤
Omg, what are the chords to this I’ve been trying to figure it out for so long
same its different to original aswell
2021 👍
Good show good show....oh 1 more thing Remind me to fire those back up singers
original on Got Talent was best
what happened to the world that original and great voices singers are less famous than the most of the trash we see on stages.
Shouldn't have back up singers your voice doesn't need them they didn't sound good but your voice love!
Background vocals not necessary…just Payton please….❤
