In The Heights - Lin-Manuel Miranda 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 señ 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
Godd**n 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 sh*t'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

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

Ooh smooth operator Aw d**n 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 Usnavi 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 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 mañana mi pana Ya gotta just keep watchin' You'll see in the heights the late nights You'll taste beans and rice The syrups in the heights and shaved ice I ain't gonna say it twice in the heights So turn up the stage lights We're takin' a flight to a couple of days In the life of what it's like all En Washington heights
