Jennifer Lopez and Lin Manuel Miranda, Like You Fucking Dreamed It Would Be (VIDEO)

Jennifer Lopez and Lin Manuel Miranda, the dude who brought historically reinterpreted musical theater to the masses at just $1800 a seat, have been working on a charity single to benefit the victims of the Orlando Pulse nightclub shooting. Proceeds from the culturally significant rap will go toward the Hispanic Federation’s Proyecto Somos Orlando which provides Spanish speaking mental health services to Pulse victims and victim’s families. You don’t have to be Spanish speaking to apply for assistance, only if you want to understand what they’re saying.

What we got is love even when the sinners hate us

We cannot let them diminish or intimidate us

We sing out, we got the rhythm and the true on our side

We cut through the divide and we do it with pride

A generation of innovators enabled to patiently wait for change

cause change is what they’ve been afraid of

the malevolence can wait

raise a level of debate, celebrate, elevate. 

Gun control can do little to stop down low gay jihadists, but this rap seems pretty powerful. The raw power of things that rhyme can’t be overlooked. Remember when everything was going to shit and hip hop culture saved it with a decent beat and some wise words about bitches? Lopez’ low cut top signals the seriousness of this effort. They simply just had to exchange compliments on hair buns.
