Lights up on Washington Heights
up at the break of day
I wake up and I got this little punk
I gotta chase away
Pop the grate at the crack of dawn
Sing while I wipe down the awning
Hey y'all good morning
Ice cold piragua
Parcha China Cherry Strawberry
And just for today I got mamey
Oye piraguero como estas
Como siempre Senor Usnavi
I am Usnavi and you
prob'ly never heard my name
Reports of my fame
are greatly exaggerated
Exacerbated by the fact
that my syntax
Is highly complicated
'cause I immigrated
From the single greatest
little place in the Caribbean
Dominican Republic I love it
Jesus I'm jealous of it
and beyond that
Ever since my folks passed on
I haven't gone back
Goddamn I gotta get on that
Fo The milk has gone bad
hold up just a second
Why is everything
in this fridge warm and tepid
I better step it up
and fight the heat
'Cause I'm not makin' any profit
if the coffee isn't light and sweet
Ooo-oo
Abuela my fridge broke
I got cafe but no con leche
Ay Dios try my mother's old recipe
one can of condensed milk
Nice Oh wait your lottery ticket
Paciencia y fe
That was Abuela
she's not really my abuela
But she practically raised me
this corner is her escuela
Now you're prob'ly thinkin
I'm up shit's creek
I've never been north
of Ninety-Sixth Street
Well you must take the A Train
Even farther than Harlem
to northern Manhattan
and maintain
Get off at 181st
and take the escalator
I hope you're writing this down
I'm gonna test ya later
I'm getting tested
times are tough on this bodega
Two months ago somebody
bought Ortega's
Our neighbors started
packin' up and pickin' up
And ever since the rents went up
It's gotten mad expensive
but we live with just enough
In the heights
I flip the lights and start my day
There are fights
And endless debts
And bills to pay
In the Heights
I can't survive without cafe
I serve cafe
'Cause tonight seems
like a million years away
En Washington-
Next up ding Kevin Rosario
He runs the cab company
he struggles in the barrio
See his daughter
Nina's off at college
tuition is mad steep
So he can't sleep
everything he gets is mad cheap
Good morning Usnavi
Pan caliente cafe con leche
Put twenty dollars
on today's lottery
Okay must be a lucky day
Gotta be
Oh my God you're so excited
My Nina flew in at 3 A.M. last night
Sweet Abuela's been
cooking all week
Come by when I see you
this weekend
Are we gonna eat
So then Yesenia walks in the room-
Aha
She smells sex and cheap perfume
Uh oh
It smells like one of those trees
That you hang from the rear view
Ah no
It's true She screams
Who's in there with you Julio
Grabs a bat and kicks
in the door
He's in bed with Jose
from the liquor store
No me diga
The salon ladies
Thanks Usnavi
Sonny you're late
Chillax you know you love me
Me and my cousin runnin'
Just another dime-a-dozen
mom-and-pop stop-and-shop
And oh my god it's gotten
too darn hot
Like my man Cole Porter said
People come through
for a few cold waters and
A lottery ticket
just a part of the routine
Everybody's got a job
everybody's got a dream
They gossip as I sip
my coffee and smirk
The first stop
as people hop to work
Bust it- I'm like
One dollar two dollars
one fifty one sixty-nine
I got it You want a box
of condoms What kind
That's two quarters
Two quarter waters
The New York Times
You need a bag for that
The tax is added
Once you get some practice at it
You do rapid mathematics
automatically
Sellin' maxi-pads
fuzzy dice for taxicabs
and practically
Everybody's stressed yes
But they press through the mess
Bounce checks
and wonder what's next
In the heights
I buy my coffee and I go
Set my sights
On only what I need to know
In the heights
Money is tight
But even so
When the lights go down
I blast my radio
You ain't got no skills
Benny
Yo lemme get a-
Milky Way
Yeah and lemme also get a-
Daily News-
And a-
Post-
And most important my-
Boss' second coffee one cream-
Five sugars
I'm the number one earner-
What
The fastest learner-
What
My boss can't keep me
on the damn back burner
Yes he can
I'm makin' moves I'm makin' deals
but guess what
What
You still ain't got no skills
Hardee-har
Yo Vanessa show up yet
Shut up
Hey little homie don't get so upset
Man
Tell Vanessa how you feel
buy the girl a meal
On the real
or you ain't got no skills
Nooo
No no nooo
No no nooo no-no-no
Nooo no-no-no
No-no-no-no-no-no-no-no
no-no-no-no-no
Mr. Johnson
I got the security deposit
It's locked in a box
in the bottom of my closet
It's not reflected
in my bank statement
But I've been savin' to make a down
payment and pay rent
No no I won't let you down-
Yo here's your chance
ask her out right now
I'll see you later
we can look at that lease
Yo do somethin'
make your move don't freeze
Hey
You owe me a bottle
of cold champagne
Are you moving
Just a little credit check
and I'm on that downtown train
Well your coffee's on the house
Okay
Usnavi ask her out
No way
I'll see you later so
Yo smooth operator aw
damn there she goes
Yo bro take five
take a walk outside
You look exhausted
lost don't let life slide
The whole hood is struggling
times are tight
And you're stuck
to this corner like a streetlight
Yeah I'm a streetlight
chokin' on the heat
The world spins around
while I'm frozen to my seat
The people that I know all keep
on rollin' down the street
But every day is different
so I'm switchin' up the beat
'Cause my parents
came with nothing
they got a little more
And sure we're poor
but yo at least we got the store
And it's all about the legacy
they left with me it's destiny
And one day I'll be on a beach
with Sonny writing checks to me
In the Heights
I hang my flag up on display
We came to work and to live
and we got a lot in common
It reminds me
that I came from miles away
D.R. P.R. we are not stoppin'
In the Heights
Ooh
Every day paciencia y fe
Until the day we go
from poverty to stock options
In the Heights
I've got today
And today's all we got
so we cannot stop
This is our block
In the Heights
I hang my flag up on display
Lo le lo le lo lai lai lo le
It reminds me
that I came from miles away
My family came from miles away-
In the Heights
It gets more expensive every day
Every day
And tonight is so far away-
But as for manana mi pana
Ya gotta just keep watchin'
You'll see the late nights
You'll taste beans and rice
The syrups and shaved ice
I ain't gonna say it twice
So turn up the street lights
We're takin' a flight
To a couple of days
in the life of what it's like
En Washington Heights
