‘Miami taught me to fight’: Pitbull is motivating us through this coronavirus crisis

Leave it to Mr. 305 to lift Miami’s spirits during the coronavirus crisis.

The rapper came out with an awesome anthem, just in time.

Not that we were feeling despondent staying at home 24/7, or anything.

His new song is giving us a reason to wanna get out of bed in the morning (and afternoon).

“I Believe That We Will Win” is basically the only song we want to hear in quarantine right now. That, or “I Will Survive.”

Pitbull posted a sneak peek of the optimistic track over the weekend on social media. A black and white clip shows him on the roof of his Little Havana charter school SLAM! Our majestic skyline is in the background. He posed there for a reason, he said.

“Miami taught me how to fight. I want to give everybody in the world right now; now is when we stick together and fight hard.”

Lyrics include: “Let’s show the world how powerful it is when we come together to fight for one cause, that’s called life. I believe we will win!”

We get it: Pitbull wants to motivate us to stay inside four walls another day, and we have to assume practice social distancing, not complain about shelter in place, and try not to be total covidiots.

“Stay healthy, stay safe and stay blessed. No matter what. Face everything and rise.”

We’re trying over here, Pit.
