Ice cold piragua Parcha 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 'cause I immigrated 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 God d**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 'Cause I'm not makin' any profit if the coffee isn't light and sweet ABUELA CLAUDIA spoken： Ooo oo USNAVI spoken： Abuela my fridge broke I got café but no "con leche" ABUELA CLAUDIA spoken： Ay Dios try my mother's old recipe：one can of condensed

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' maxi pads fuzzy dice for taxicabs Practically everybody's stressed yes But they press through the mess bounce checks And wonder what's next ENSEMBLE： In the heights I buy my coffee and I go I buy my coffee and I go Set my sights On only what I need to know What I need to know In the heights Money is tight But even so Even so When the lights go down I blast my radio BENNY： You ain't got no skills USNAVI： Benny BENNY： Yo

whole hood is struggling times is tight And you're stuck to this corner like a streetlight USNAVI： Yeah I'm a streetlight chokin' on the heat The world spins around while I'm frozen to my seat The people that I know all keep on rollin' down the street But every day is different so I'm switchin' up the beat 'Cause 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 ENSEMBLE： In the Heights I hang my flag up on display
