about

This song was written originally for the movie "Love and Basketball" and it's motivation was my own feelings of gratitude and self empowerment. The joy that comes from living your life according to your own standards. A soulful blend of R&B and Latin rythms. Percolating grooves, steamy vocals and Flamenco Guitar. Recorded in Spanish & English.

lyrics

LIVIN'

Written & produced by: Leila & Bobbi "Funkeeboy"
Tammaro (c)(p) Power Of One Music/Leilasworld

(VERSE)
I looked for truth within myself
and took my heart bravely off the shelf
and all along right inside of me
was the incarnation
of the star that I could be
(CHORUS)
I'm Livin'
(and I'm livin through the image)
(I knew someday I would become)
(and I'm livin' through the image)
the one I chose to be is staring back at me
I'm Livin'
(and I'm livin' through the image)
(I knew someday I would become)
(and I'm livin' through the image)
the battles I have won shaped who I've become
I'm Livin'
(VERSE2)
I've come so far through paths unknown
I fought their fears but found my own
but I believed though the shadows followed me
that my destination was the taste of victory
(REPEAT CHORUS 1)
(CHORUS 2)
I'm Livin'
(and I'm livin through the image)
(I knew someday I would become)
(and I'm livin' through the image)
Oh the one I chose to be
I'm Livin'
a testament that all my pain and tears served to get me here
(SPANISH)
Quiero ser una estrella una estrella
tengo que ir a por ella a por ella
