Lights up on Washington heights

At the break of the day

I wake up and got this little

Punk I gotta chase away

Pop the gate at the crack of dawn

Sing while I wipe down the awning

Hey ya'll good morning

Ice cold piragua parcha China cherry strawberry

And just for today I got mamey

Yo piragü ero como estas

Como siempre se or 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

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

'Cuz I'm not making any

Profit if the coffee isn't

Light and sweet

Ooo oo

Abuela my fridge broke I got café but no con leche

Try my mother's old recipe one can of condensed milk

Nice

Ay paciencia 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 96'th street

Well you must take the a train

Even farther than Harlem

To northern Manhattan and maintain

Get off at 181'st

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 bill to pay

In the heights

I can't survive without café

I serve café

'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 café 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

3 a m 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

Aha

She smells sex and cheap perfume

Uh oh

It smells like one of those

Trees that you hang from

Your 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

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

Because 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' maxipads

And 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

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 earnery What

The fastest learner What

My boss can't keep

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

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 the 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 light 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 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

Every day paciencia fe oooh

Until the day we go from oooh

Poverty to stock options in the heights

I've got today 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 form miles away

In the heights

It gets more expensive

Every day every day

And tonight

Is so far away

But as for ma ana 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
