Gotta Be / Empire State Mind

_SOLO

Listen as your day unfolds

Challenge what the future holds

Try and keep your head up to the sky

Lovers, they may cause you tears

Go ahead release your fears

Stand up and be counted

Don't be ashamed to cry

‍

^ALL You gotta be

You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser,

You gotta be hard, You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger

You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together

All I know, all I know, love will save the day
