Madonna – God Control Lyrics

Everybody knows the damn truth
Our nation lied, we lost respect
When we wake up, what can we do?
Get the kids ready, take them to school
Everybody knows they don’t have a chance
To get a decent job, to have a normal life
When they talk reforms, it makes me laugh
They pretend to help, it makes me laugh
I think I understand why people get a gun
I think I understand why we all give up
Every day they have a kind of victory
Blood of innocence, spread everywhere
They say that we need love
But we need more than this

We lost God control
We lost God control
We lost God control
We lost God control

This is your wake-up call
I’m like your nightmare
I’m here to start your day
This is your wake-up call
We don’t have to fall
A new democracy
God and pornography
A new democracy

People think that I’m insane
The only gun is in my brain
Each new birth, it gives me hope
That’s why I don’t smoke that dope
Insane people think I am
Brain inside my only friend
Hope it gives me birth each new
That dope I don’t smoke it’s true

Everybody knows the damn truth
Everybody knows the damn truth (wake up)
We need to wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
We need to make up, make up, make up, make up, make up, make up, make up, make up, make up, make up
It’s a hustle, yeah
It’s a hustle
It’s a con
It’s a hustle
It’s a weird kind of energy, a bizarre thing that happens to be
An abnormal fraternity, and I feel more than sympathy
We got to wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
We need to make up, make up, make up, make up, make up, make up, make up, make up, make up, make up

People think that I’m insane
The only gun is in my brain
Each new birth, it gives me hope
That’s why I don’t smoke that dope
Insane people think I am
Brain inside my only friend
Hope it gives me birth each new
That dope I don’t smoke it’s true

Everybody knows the damn truth
Everybody knows the damn truth
We got to wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
(Wake up)
Ah (Ah), Ah (Ah)

A new democracy!

Everybody knows the damn truth
Our nation lied, we’ve lost respect
When we wake up, what can we do
Get the kids ready, take them to school
Everybody knows they don’t have a chance
Get a decent job, have a normal life
When they talk reforms, it makes me laugh
They pretend to help, it makes me laugh

We lost God control
We lost God control
We lost God control
We lost God control
We lost God control

Maluma – Soltera Feat. Madonna + Lyrics

Umm, Maluma?

Ese soy yo

It’s Madonna

Mamacita

That’s right

Quiere estar soltera
Nadie la enamora
Porque esta tan buena
Que prefiere estar sola
Que mal acompañada

Ella es así, nadie la va a cambiar
Es reservada, no da el celular
A ningún hombre le piensa copiar
Ella anda suelta y no le va a bajar

I told you not to waste your time
I’m not a girl you’ll drink like wine
If you press pause, then I’ll retreat
I will not grovel at your feet

Please don’t fall in love with me
I would rather be set free
I cannot give you my all
I will not make myself small For no one

En el party, party, party
Se pone creativa
Así luciendo su body
En el party, party, party

Se pone creativa
Así luciendo su body

Quiere estar soltera
Nadie la enamora
Porque esta tan buena
Que prefiere estar sola
Que mal acompañada

Ella es así, nadie la va a cambiar
Es reservada, no da el celular
A ningún hombre le piensa copiar
Ella anda suelta y no le va a bajar

Don’t you try to rescue me
I’m who I will always be
And I’d rather be alone
Than pretend to make a perfect home

I told you not to waste your time
I’m not a girl you’ll drink like wine
If you press pause, then I’ll retreat
I will not grovel at your feet

So bye, bye, bye

En el party, party, party
Se pone creativa
Así luciendo su body
En el party, party, party
Se pone creativa
Así luciendo su body

Se mueve pa’ arriba, pa’ el centro y pa’ dentro
Mueve caderas que me tiene enfermo
Tu sabes bien cual es el movimiento
Dale pa’ ‘ca, pa’ ‘ca, pa’ ‘ca

Entre mas te acercas mas rico te siento
Sube las manos y mueve tu cuerpo
Tu sabes bien cual es el movimiento
Dale pa’ ‘tra, pa’ ‘tra, pa’ ‘tra

And don’t you forget it
Chao papi
You are going to regret it (yeah)
Chao papi
Bye, bye, bye
And don’t you forget it
Chao papi
You are going to regret it (yeah)
Chao papi
Bye, bye, bye

And don’t you forget it
Chao papi
You are going to regret it (yeah)
Chao papi
Bye, bye, bye

Chao papi

Madonna, Swae Lee – Crave + Lyrics

 I’m tired of being far away from home
Far from what can help?
Far from where it’s safe
Hope it’s not too late
Rush rush rush on you
Love love loved on you
Love you like a fool
Put my trust in you

‘Cause you’re the one I crave
And my cravings get dangerous
The feelings never fade
I don’t think we should play with this
Say come come give me strength
I don’t think we should wait for this
‘Cause you’re the one I crave
And my cravings get dangerous

My cravings get dangerous
I don’t think we should play with this

My cravings get dangerous
I don’t think we should wait

‘Cause I’m just me
That’s all I can be
Something real
Something I can feel
You know I just can’t change
This is how I’m made
I’m not afraid
Take me to the place

‘Cause you’re the one I crave
And my cravings get dangerous
The feelings never fade
I don’t think we should play with this
Say come come give me strength
I don’t think we should wait for this
‘Cause you’re the one I crave
And my cravings get dangerous

My cravings get dangerous
I don’t think we should play with this

My cravings get dangerous
I don’t think we should wait

You’re on me I don’t think you should wait
You’re on me, one pull up away
You’re down to ride
Ride me like a wave
I gave you a sensation
Loner days you used to chase
It’s do or die and my love life can’t get crazy
It’s on the line girl you’re risking everything
It’s over ex rated

Ran so far to try to find the thing I lacked and there it was inside of me
Ran and ran and ran so fast a thing to last and there it was I hear you breathe

‘Cause you’re the one I crave
And my cravings get dangerous
The feelings never fade
I don’t think we should play with this
Say come come give me strength
I don’t think we should wait for this
‘Cause you’re the one I crave
And my cravings get dangerous

My cravings get dangerous
I don’t think we should play with this

My cravings get dangerous
I don’t think we should wait

It’s on the line girl you’re risking everything

Madonna – I Rise – Lyrics

[Intro ( _spoken_ /by Emma Gonzalez) ]:
Us kids don’t know what we’re talking about, that we’re too young to understand how the government works. We call BS

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m going through it
Yeah, I know you see the tragic in it
Just hold on to the little bit of magic in it
I can’t break down now
I can’t take that now
Died a thousand times
Managed to survive
I can’t break down now
I can’t take that
(I can’t take that)

[Chorus]
I rise
I rise
I rise up above it
Up above it
I rise
I rise
I rise
Up above it all

[Verse 2]
There’s nothing you can do to me that hasn’t been done
Not bulletproof, should have run from a gun
River of tears ran dry
Let ’em run
No game that you can play with me
I ain’t one

[Bridge]
I managed to survive
Freedom’s what you choose to do with what’s been done to you
No one can hurt you now unless you want them to
No one can hurt you now unless you love ’em too
Unless you love ’em too
