In the Heights
Lights up on Washington Heights Up at the break ofday 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! Paricha. China.
Cherry. Strawberry. And Just for today, I got mamey! Oy, 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 cuz I Emigrated 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. The milk has gone bad, hold up just a second Why is everything in this fridge so warm and tepid? I better step it up and fight the heat.
Cuz 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.' Try my mother's old recipe: one can of condensed milk. Nice. Ay! 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 probably thinkin,
'I'm up shit's creek
I 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 Cuz tonight seems like a Million years away! En Washington-- Next up to bat, the Rosarios
They run the cab company, They struggle in the barrio See, their daughter Nina's off At college, tuition is mad steep So they can't sleep, Everything they get is mad cheap! Good morning, Usnavi! Pan caliente, cafe con leche!
Put twenty dollars on today's lottery.
One ticket, that's it! Hey! A man's gotta dream Don't mind him, He's all excited
Cuz Nina flew in at 3am last night! Don't look at me, this one's been cooking all week! Usnavi, come over for dinner. There's plenty to eat! So then Yesenia walks in the room She smells sex and cheap perfume! It smells like one of those
Trees that you hang from the
Rear view!
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!
Daniela and Carla, from the salon. 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 yo 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' maxipads and fuzzy dice for taxicabs 更多更詳盡歌詞 在 ※ Mojim.com 魔鏡歌詞網 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! Lemme get a- Milky way. Yeah, 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
Vanessa show up yet?
Shut up!
Hey little homie
Don't get so upset
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!
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... Ooh, smooth operator, Aw damn, there she go! 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, Choking on the heat The world spins around While I'm frozen to my seat The people that I know All keep on rolling down the street But every day is different So I'm switchin' up the beat Cuz my parents came here 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. DR, PR, We are not stoppin'. In the heights 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 upon 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 the heights It gets more expensive 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 stage lights, We're takin' a flight To a couple of days In the life of what it's like. En Washington Heights!
