lirik lagu lin-manuel miranda - in the heights [workshop]

[usnavi]
hey where y’all going?
d-mn
i’m sitting on this stoop like a
nincomp–p
strutting
like another clucking rooster in the chicken coop
whistling
to woman and wishing they’d want me back
sizzling dominicans give me a heart attack
hollaback
i am usnavi and you’ve
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
we love it!
now back to the subject
it don’t matter if you white black asian or latin
i’m reporting to you live from the top of manhattan
at my bodega on the corner of 184th and broadway
it’s been a long day learning things the hard way
my lips are salty from sweating to the heat
but i’m getting you on your feet bop your head to the beat
now, some of y’all are thinkin
“woah i’m up sh-t’s creek
i’ve never been north of ninety-sixth street”
but tonight
you’ll hear a story that is mad compelling son
but first you gotta make like my man duke ellington
cuz you must take the ‘a’ train
even farther than harlem to northern manhattan and maintain
while i explain the drama from the last few nights
relax, you’re tight
you’re in washington heights

[nina]
sitting on the bench to north train i am going insane
waiting in pain for it to take me home
finally we leave the station i am so impatient
to get the h-ll out of new haven and get some time alone
and as i leave all i see are the homeless standing by
as the rich kids avert their eyes
and get their meaningless degrees
i’m sitting next to businessmen who are
cheating on their wives
they’ve been commuting all their lives
filling hotel vacancies
but all i wanna do is go home
where everything’s alright
where in a way you’re never alone
cuz everyone’s squeezed together tight
[company]

everybody knows my name

[alma] [vanessa] [lincoln]

(?)
(?) oh i wanna go
(?) benny baby call me out tonight
(?) oh i wanna i’m been biding my time writing this song getting it right
(?) escape this life
(?) oh so i know it’s time to go i’ve got to show everyone what i’m about
(?) i wanna go out no doubt and shout from the rooftops of
benny baby call me tonight my home, i’m home

[nina]
and i’ve been gone so many years
always studying alone
i’ve been searching for a brand new life that isn’t carved in stone
maybe everyone is different
maybe everything has changed
maybe living on my own i’ve grown estranged

[voice]
it’s washington heights!

[nina]
but i remember those summer nights

[vanessa]
those warm embraces

[voice]
it’s washington heights!
[nina] [vanessa] [voices]
fire hydrants spraying water
across our
sweaty shiny faces sweaty shiny faces it’s washington heights!
(?) places, (?) places,
remaining chases of you remaining chases of you
as the subway races home! as the subway races home! it’s washington heights!

[voices]
it’s washington heights!

[nina]
n-body tell me you can’t go home again

[ensemble]
it’s washington heights!

[nina]
n-body tell me you can’t feel just as
alive as you did back then

[ensemble]
it’s washington heights!

[nina]
somebody welcome me home and hold me tight

[ensemble]
it’s washington heights!

[nina]
there’s only one place i know to take
away these lonely nights

[company]
in washington heights!
