Janet Jackson
Iconic
Daddy

If you're livin' for the moment
Don't stop, and celebrate the feelin'
Go up, if you're livin' for the moment
Don't stop, 'cause I break those ceilings
Go up (Fuego)

We're made for now
Not tomorrow
Made for now
Look around
We're made for now
Not tomorrow
Made for now (uno)
Look around (dos, tres)
We're made for now (fuego)

Everybody move your body, everybody
Everybody move your body, everybody (right now)
We're made for now
Everybody move your body (right now), everybody (right now)
Everybody move your body (right now), everybody

If you're livin' for the moment
Don't stop, try to celebrate the feelin'
Go up, if you're livin' for the moment (the moment, baby)
Don't stop, 'cause I break those ceilings
Go up

Love is in the rhythm now, we're
Dancing with a whole new meaning
Love is on the way to fill you up

We're made for now
Not tomorrow
Made for now
Look around
We're made for now
Not tomorrow
Made for now (uno)
Look around (dos, tres)
We're made for now (fuego)

Everybody move your body (woo), everybody
Everybody move your body, everybody (right now)
We're made for now
Everybody move your body (right now), everybody (right now)
Everybody move your body (right now), everybody (right now)

We're made for now
Not tomorrow
Made for now
Look around
We're made for now (right now, right now)
Made for now (right now)
Right now (right now) (Fuego)

Arriba la raza, estamos en la casa
Dale si está en banda todo lo que te atrasa
Muévete eso rápi-rápido
Muévete eso rápi-rápido
We don't stop it, no te escapas
Yo soy volcán pero tú eres lava
Seguimos lighty, lighty, prendí'os
Vívelo y que mañana se acaba

Right now
Not tomorrow
Made for now (right now)
Look around
They're made for now (right now)
Not tomorrow
Made for now
Look around

We're made for now
Not tomorrow
Made for now (sube)
Look around
We're made for now
Not tomorrow
Made for now
Look around
We're made for now

Everybody move your body (right now), everybody (right now)
We're made for now
Everybody move your body (right now), everybody (right now)
We're made for now
Da una vuelta y ponte pa' mí (right now), ponte pa' mí (right now) (Ponte, ponte, ponte)
We're made for now
Da una vuelta y ponte pa' mí (right now), ponte pa' mí (right now)

We're made for now
Not tomorrow

Janet is such a Queen. 👸🏾 She is the only artist I’ll travel long distance to see. So in love 🥰

@lavenderflowers1075

I always thought that she doesn't look like her voice. She looks like she should have a deeper voice. Nevertheless, it still sounds good.
