Full lyrics:
Speech opening:
“… us kids don’t know what we’re talking about
That we’re too youngnto understand how the government works
We call!
We act!”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 nowDied a thousand times
Managed to survive
I can’t break down now
I can’t take that, I can’t take thatI Rise
I Rise
I Rise
Up above it
Up above it
I Rise
I Rise
I Rise
Up above it allThere's nothing you can do to me that hasn't been done
Not pull or push it,
Not to run from a gun
River of tears ran dry, let 'm run
No game that you can play with me, I ain't oneCause 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 nowDied a thousand times
But managed to survive, I managed to survive
I can’t break down now
I can’t take that, I can’t take itI Rise
I Rise
I Rise
Up above it
Up above it
I Rise
I Rise
I Rise
Up above it allThe minute you 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 ‘m too
Unless you love ‘m tooCause 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 nowDied a thousand times
But managed to survive, I managed to survive
I can’t break down now
I can’t take that, I can’t take thatI Rise
I Rise
I Rise
Up above it
Up above it
I Rise

We’ll rise up, we can get it together
Now we’re gonna rise up
Yeah we’re gonna rise up

All I meant was that Katy Perry, for example, put on a wig these past couple weeks and her songs started charting again. Don't you think M would turn a lot of heads if she was wearing something a bit less dark?
No, but we can all just think what we want. Still not charting.

It's too dark... I think the public has had enough of seeing M in black. It makes her fade away. She looked so fresh and re-invented on the blue and white dresses on the Medellin video. Hell, even the cha-cha instructor look, although it had a lot of black in it, looked different because of the hairdo and stuff. That outfit from the rehearsals + the hair just screams RH to me and I genuinely believe it would help the song if she showed up in a different, unexpected color + different hairdo.
I totally get that. I still like it but yes it’s very RH looking (the whole thing, even the hair, shoes, makeup...)

Do we think she will also include a verse and chorus of I RISE as part of this performance?
No
5 minutes ago, nobelson said:I'm so hoping for a different outfit. I loathe what she's wearing
Why...I bet it’ll be different but similar to that style, maybe black and red...anyhow she looks beautiful.
Also what is the background from “billboard pgm (isn’t is MGM?)transmission”...

YES!! I've ALWAYS stood by Hard Candy and I can honestly say, its sounds just as good (if not better) now than it did then. All of the accusations of it being a Nelly/Justin ripoff are ONLY based on the people that worked on the album. Hard Candy has always been a MADONNA album through and through!!
I said then and I say it now, any "negative" connotation associated with that album is BECAUSE of Madonna's own diehard fans. Buzz starts with us and those bias "COADF fans" that will ONLY accept a "disco banger" from her are the ones that put a stink cloud over that era.
And every era it seems...

I have work!!!!
but I will try to watch live, come on here and then have it DVRed at home!

Madonna always senses that
well like she said in TOD she is basically a gay man trapped in a woman's body (or did I make this quote up right now?)
I think she said that...it’s probably why he cried, why he let he be sexy with him and he was comfortable with it, the toe licking, kisses, chemistry etc...it’s obvious the connection is there and she’s so happy to work with him because he loves and idolizes her like any gay man would (should)

What is so gay about collaborating with Thalia, Shakira (three times), Madonna (three times), Anitta, Becky G and Ricky Martin (twice)?
he must’ve fucked Nicky Jam and Ricky.

The rumor was always "Killers" as the second single and the video being shot at the theater M posted about. However, I feel a "insider" just used the release of "I Rise" this week to try to seem truthful and thus the confusion. If people from the set said it was Killers, I doubt she'd go single single so quickly right after Medellin is bound to get some boost from the BBMA performance. Still think it's Killers.
Yeah I agree...so these Friday releases will keep the album in the news and then first few weeks of June, she drops the second single+video and hopefully announces Pride which is at the end of June.

Omg it’s so obvious he’s gay by the collaborations

I have a feeling Medellín was always planned as the first single.
Same. It was recorded last and she would have wanted to introduce her “world music” record with Maluma as a duet.

I agree , something isn’t adding up. He has YouTube video streams of billions and multiple ones . Jsit find it all so unfair that all her hard work comes to nothing especially in USA . Seems to be the worst tgere . No offence but hope she does a girlie show on next tour and does 2 dates in the country .
Yeah trust me, I’m not hating or complaining. I love the video and song and expected people to enjoy it at least a LITTLE BIT. I don’t see anyone caring AT ALL!

How do you know maluma fans didn’t stream it once? Why does everyone keep saying that’s.
It hasn’t gotten any sort of boost. You don’t believe that if his fans listened it would have at the very least charted at #99 on the billboard charts...or maybe the video would have over 20 million views by now...his videos have 100’s of millions of views...idk I guess we DONT know but it doesn’t add up.

Do you think that after the performance at BBMAs, Medellin will start picking up on radio or getting more US streams? It's being said that it will be a fantastic performance. I hope it does!
I doubt it. It’ll go up to the top 30 on iTunes chart and then drop again...idk what it is but nothing helps. USA doesn’t care, no matter what apparently.

Yes. But is this what this was about?
It’s not wrong. She is in her 61st year now. After her next birthday she is in her 62nd year. When she was born she was in her first year, until she turned 1.
I figured that...

It’s not meant to be disrespectful to point out her age in this article, so it doesn’t bother me. Unlike many other articles where they mention her age in the first sentence without any context to it.
She turns 61 in August, no?

Did Mensch hear rumor of the song back then being called Killers? Don't remember that name exept from fans guessing.
No I never heard anything about the name, but now I’m thinking...maybe the official video will be the remix and it will come out AFTER the release of the ballad version...
as everyone is saying, why ruin the momentum from the BMA’s so quickly with the release of the next single so fast ...so maybe the album version (ballad) will be released and then a retro remix will shortly follow with a video!

It's possible, Beautiful by Christina sort of fits description. Ballads can definitely be anthems

Totally agree. Beautiful gay anthems!

I guess some people don't connect with the Maluma parts, but the song is awesome, so catchy and the production is superb. For me it's a worthy first single.
I love his parts. Think it’s a great first single

I don't mind Lepore. The world is much more colorful with "crazy", idgaf-type-of-people like her and well, MADONNA.
I agree. I love Amanda. Just already seeing the stupidity on Facebook groups.
