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

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

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

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' 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

En Washington

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

And today's all we got I've got today 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

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

We're takin' a flight

To a couple of days In the life of

What it's like

En Washington heights
