Via Rolling Stone:
Jennifer Lopez and Hamilton star Lin-Manuel Miranda delivered the late-night debut of "Love Make the World Go Round," their tribute to the victims of the Orlando massacre, on Tuesday's Tonight Show.
Backed by the Roots and a pair of backing vocalists, Lopez crooned the track's message of hope and resiliency while wearing a massive, multi-colored cape. Miranda emerged midway through the track for a nimbly-rapped verse.
"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," Miranda rapped. "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."
Lopez and Miranda released the track July 7th via iTunes.
All proceeds benefit the Hispanic Federation's Proyecto Somos Orlando initiative, which aims to address the "long-term needs for mental health services that are culturally competent and bilingual."
