Some Of Us Are Brave (Live from KCRW)

[Intro]
If the sky were to fall, I'd be the one to call
Some of us, some of us are brave
Who's gonna feel my pain? Who's gonna say my name?
Ain't no choice but to be brave

[Verse 1]
Peace and love to the ones who give praise
Take a bow as the sun hits the face
See me now
Golden hour
And to those who fear leads them to hate
What a pity to be locked in a place
You see me now
I'll show you how

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll show you how
I'll show you how
I'll show you how
I'll show you how
Oh, ah
Na-na-na-na, na-na, ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Nah, no
Na-na-na-na, well
How y'all feeling? Well, I said

[Verse 2]
Peace and love to the onеs who give praise
Take a bow as thе light hits the face
See me now
Oh, I'm loud and proud, mm
And to those who fear leads them to hate
Oh, what a pity to be locked in that place
I know, they see me though
You see

[Pre-Chorus]
The sun don't shine 'cause you want it
And the breeze gon' blow regardless
Well, I'm here to stay
Well, I'm here to stay

[Chorus]
All I want is to be myself
Shine my light with no problems
We don't want problems
Well, I do, I believe
That the power in me frightens them
That's their problem, whoa, that's their problem, yeah

[Bridge]
I said the darker the berry, the sweeter the juice
The kinkier the hair, the deeper the roots
Bow down when the queendom comes
Take note as we speak our tongues
Darker the berry, the sweeter the fruit
Give her a crown when she walk in the room
We are the first ones, we are
Light of the sun, ah, ha, ha

[Chorus]
All we want is to be ourselves
And shine our light with no problems
(Oh, we don't want no) problems
Well, I do, I believe that the power in me
Frightens them, that's their problem
Oh, that's they problem

[Outro]
Whoo, ah, yeah
This song is dedicated to black women all over the world
It's called "Some of Us are Brave"
And it's the title track of my debut album
Hm, ah, hm, yeah, I
Black like the earth to the world we gave birth
Hair to the sky so much cool in our stride
I'll show you how
I'll show you how
Thank you so much, huh
Thank you all so much for being here
My name is Danielle Ponder, and I'm from Rochester, New York
