about

Inspired by Jose James, War of Art (book) by Steven Pressfield, and life's struggles. Although we encounter many heartaches, disappointments, and challenges in our lives, we have to continue to do what makes us happy and gives us peace. We have to keep our souls alive. Stay tuned for the full EP "Art of Facts" (release date 6/30/18), produced by Grammy Award nominated producer Brandon Williams. www.tracycruzmusic.com

lyrics

1st Verse:
Feelin' tired from yesterday
But I gotta get to work
Gotta make sure all my bills are paid
Day and night for what it's worth
Saw a friend the other day
Said she felt empty inside
All her dreams had fade away
She wants to run away and hide

Chorus:
But we gotta keep livin'
Accept whatever comes our way
We gotta keep givin'
No matter what they say
We gotta keep strivin'
Until we reach the sky
We gotta keep vibin'
To keep our soul alive, to keep our soul alive
To keep our soul alive, to keep, to keep, to keep our soul alive

2nd verse:
So many of us are afraid
Of taking risks each day
We let our dreams just dissipate
and take the easy way
Years go by we lose ourselves
To fear uncertainty
Why wait another second to make our dreams reality?

Chorus
So we gotta keep livin'
Accept whatever comes our way
We gotta keep givin'
No matter what they say
We gotta keep strivin'
Until we reach the sky
We gotta keep vibin'
To keep our soul alive, to keep our soul alive
To keep our soul alive, to keep, to keep, to keep our soul alive

Vamp:
Push through resistance (come on)
Push through indifference (come on)
Push through hindrance (come on)
