about
Jerrika Mighelle’s new single, “The Fuel,” is out today in advance of her forthcoming full-length album Be Brave. "The Fuel" addresses the way the pressures of today’s society—the fear of being marginalized, misunderstood and kept apart from the love and happiness everyone is entitled to—fuels their artistic ambitions and outreach into the queer community, and beyond, to the world. The second single from Be Brave, which is set for release this summer, “The Fuel” is a summation of the work and life of a singularly determined artist who has forged their own path throughout their career.
lyrics
The Fuel (Lyrics)
I am not the fear that eats at me
No one ever lives when they let fear take lead
I have hopes, I have goals,
and I have many dreams
So, I cannot let the fear destroy me
No, I cannot let the fear destroy me
Let it be the fuel
And not the foe
That ignites the life
I was always meant for
Let it be the fuel
And not the foe
That ignites the life
I was always meant for
Ah ah ah
Make this fuel a fire that burns deep in me
Till it erupts to a thousand lived dreams
Let it be the fuel
And not the foe
That ignites the life
I was always meant for
Let it be the fuel
And not the foe
That ignites the life
I was always meant for
Ah ah ah
By now I have learned
This fear ain't going nowhere
It’s an endless flame that will always burn
Let it be the fuel
And not the foe
That ignites the life
I was always meant for
Let it be the fuel
And not the foe
That ignites the life
I was always meant for
Let it be the fuel
Not the foe
Not the foe
Let it be the fuel
Not the foe
Not the foe
Let it be the fuel
And not the foe
That ignites the life
I was always meant for
