[00:05.892]Lights up on Washington heights, up at the break of the day
[00:08.976]I wake up and got this little punk I gotta chase away
[00:12.073]Pop the grate at the crack of dawn
[00:14.037]Sing while I wipe down the awning
[00:16.286]Hey ya'll good morning
[00:17.686]Ice cold piragua parcha china cherry strawberry
[00:21.616]And just for today I got mamey
[00:23.545]Oye piragüero como estas
[00:24.668]Como siempre Señor Usnavi
[00:26.354]I am Usnavi and you prob'ly never heard my name
[00:29.436]Reports of my fame are greatly exaggerated
[00:32.515]Exacerbated by the fact that my syntax
[00:34.756]is highly complicated 'cuz I emigrated
[00:37.281]from the single greatest little place
[00:38.964]in the Caribbean
[00:39.805]Dominican Republic
[00:41.486]I love it
[00:42.046]Jesus I'm jealous of it
[00:43.444]And beyond that
[00:44.562]ever since my folks passed on
[00:45.966]I haven't gone back
[00:47.648]Goddamn I gotta get on that

[00:53.811]Why is everything in this fridge warm and tepid
[00:56.617]I better step it up and fight the heat
[00:58.862]'Cuz I'm not making any profit if the coffee isn't light and sweet

[01:12.317]Nice
[01:13.718]Oh wait Your lottery ticket
[01:15.961]Ay Paciencia y fe
[01:20.164]That was Abuela
[01:21.006]She's not really my abuela
[01:22.408]But she practically raised me
[01:23.819]This corner is her escuela
[01:25.226]Now you're probably thinkin'
[01:26.916]I'm up shit's creek
[01:28.044]I've never been north of 96'th Street
[01:30.852]Well you must take the A train
[01:33.950]Even farther than Harlem to northern Manhattan and maintain
[01:37.320]Get off at 181'st and take the escalator
[01:40.132]I hope you're writin' this down
[01:41.816]I'm gonna test you later
[01:43.221]I'm getting tested. Times are tough on this bodega
[01:45.750]Two months ago somebody bought Ortega's
[01:47.716]Our neighbors started packin' up and pickin' up
[01:49.960]And ever since the rents went up
[01:51.362]It's gotten mad expensive but we live with just enough
[01:53.890]In the Heights
[01:55.017]I flip the lights and start my day
[01:59.801]There are fights and endless debts
[02:02.055]And bills to pay
[02:05.703]In the Heights
[02:06.826]I can't survive without café
[02:09.359]I serve café
[02:11.323]'Cuz tonight seems like a million years away
[02:16.656]En Washington

[03:31.808]And oh my god
[03:32.644]It's gotten too darn hot like my man Cole Porter said
[03:36.012]People come through for a few cold waters and a lottery ticket
[03:39.942]Just a part of the routine
[03:41.345]Everybody's got a job
[03:42.746]Everybody's got a dream
[03:44.428]They gossip as I sip my coffee and smirk
[03:46.958]The first stop as people hop to work
[03:49.201]Bust it, I'm like
[03:50.325]One dollar, two dollars

[03:58.482]You need a bag for that. The tax is added
[04:00.450]Once you get some practice at it
[04:01.857]You do rapid mathematics automatically
[04:04.381]sellin' maxipads
[04:05.220]fuzzy dice for taxicabs
[04:06.900]Practically everybody's stressed
[04:08.582]Yes
[04:09.427]But they press through the mess
[04:10.549]Bounce checks and wonder what's next
[04:12.795]In the Heights

[06:16.579]Yeah I'm a streetlight, choking on the heat
[06:19.378]The world spins around while I'm frozen to my seat
[06:22.185]The people that I know all keep on rollin' down the street
[06:24.998]But every day is different. So I'm switchin' up the beat
[06:27.523]'Cuz my parents came with nothing
[06:29.211]They got a little more
[06:30.616]And sure we're poor but yo, at least we got the store
[06:33.418]And it's all about the legacy
[06:34.819]they left with me
[06:35.380]It's destiny
[06:36.221]And one day I'll be on a beach with sonny writing checks to me
[06:38.749]In the Heights
[06:39.869]I hang my flag up on display
[06:42.389]We came to work and to live and we got a lot in common
