96000 from In The Heights
Best rap I've ever heard in a musical. Ok so only rap I've ever heard in a musical but still amazing!
USNAVI:
96,000...
SONNY/BENNY:
Damn...
USNAVI:
96,000...
SONNY:
Dollers? Holla.
USNAVI:
96,000...
BENNY:
Yo, somebody won!
USNAVI:
96,000...
BENNY:
Yo...
If I won the lotto tomorrow
well I know
I wouldn't bother going on no spending spree
I'd pick a business school and pay the entrance fee
Then maybe, if you're lucky, you'll stay friends with me.
I'll be a business man,
richer than Nina's daddy,
Donald Trump and I on the links,
and he's my caddy
My money's making money, I'm going from po' to moto
Keep the bling, I want the brass ring like frodo!
USNAVI:
Oh no, there goes mr. Braggadocio
Next thing you know, you're lying like pinnochio
BENNY:
Well if you're scared of the bull, stay out of the rodeo!
GRAFFITI PETE:
Yo, I got more hoes than a phone book in tokyo!
USNAVI!
Ooh, you'd better stop rappin'
You're not ready
It's gonna get hot and heavy and you're already sweaty-
GRAFFITI PETE:
y-y-yo-yo
USNAVI:
Yo, I'm sorry, was that an answer?
Shut up, go home and pull your damn pants up!
As for you, Mr. Frodo of the shire, 96 gs ain't enough to retire
BENNY:
I'll have enough to knock your a** of its axis!
USNAVI:
You'll have a knapsack full of jack after taxes!
SONNY:
96,000!
ABUELA CLAUDIA:
ay, alabanza!
SONNY:
96,000!
DANIELA/CARLA:
No me diga!
SONNY:
96,000!
VANESSA:
I never win s**t!
SONNY:
96,000!
BENNY:
for real, though,
imagine how it must feel going real slow
down the highway of life
with no regrets
and no breaking your neck for respect or a paycheck
for real, though, I'll take a break from the wheel
and we'll throw the biggest block party, everybody here
It's a weekend when we can breathe, take it easy
NEIGHBORS:
Yo! ma, it's me, check my tickets!
CARLA:
Check one two three what would you do with 96 gs?
DANIELA:
who, me?
CARLA:
I mean, if it's just between you and me-
DANIELA:
esa pregunta es tricky!
CARLA:
I know!
DANIELA:
with 96 g,
I'd start my life with a brand new lease
atlantic city with a malibu breeze
CARLA:
and a brand new weave-
DANIELA:
or maybe just bleach...
VANESSA:
Y'all are freaks
USNAVI:
Yo, I'm just sayin...
it's silly when we get into
these crazy hypotheticals
you really want some bread
then go ahead and create a set of goals
and cross them off the list as you pursue them
and with those 96 i know precisely what i'm doing
VANESSA:
what you doing?
USNAVI:
What am i doing? what am I doing?
It takes most of that cash just to save my a** from financial ruin
sonny can keep the coffee brewin'
and i'll spend a few on you
cause the only room with a view's a room with you in it
and i could give abuela claudia the rest of it
just fly me down to puerta plata, I'll make the best of it
You really love this business?
SONNY:
no.
USNAVI:
tough, merry christmas.
you're now the youngest tycoon in washington hiznits.
SONNY:
Yo!
with 96,000, I'd finally fix housing
give the barrio computers and wireless web browsing
Your kids are living without a good edumacation change the station,
teach them about gentrification, the rent is escalating
GRAFFITI PETE:
what?
SONNY:
the rich are penetrating
GRAFFITI PETE:
what?
SONNY:
We pay our corporations
when we should be demonstrating
GRAFFITI PETE:
WHAT?!
SONNY:
What about immigration?
GRAFFITI PETE:
what?
Sonny:
Racism in this nation's gone
from latent to balatent!
Community:
OOOH!
Sonny:
I'll cash my ticket and picket
Invest in protest
never lose my focus till the
city takes notice
and you know this, man!
I'll never sleep
Because the ghetto has a
Million promises for me to
keep!
VANESSA:
You are so cute!
SONNY:
I was just thinking off the top of my head.
USNAVI:
96k. go.
Vanessa:
If I win the lottery
you'll never see me again.
Usnavi:
Damn, we only jokin
Stay broke, then!
Vanessa:
I'll be downtown
get a nice studio
get out of the barrio
Usnavi, Vanessa, Benny together (Benny 2X Usnavi 2X)
Benny:
For real, though.
Imagine how it would feel
goin' real slow
down the highway of life
with no regrets
and no breakin' your neck for respect
or a paycheck -
Vanessa:
If I win the lottery
You'll wonder where I've been
I'll be downtown,
see you around
If I win the lottery,
you won't see a lot of me!
Usnavi:
It's silly when we get into these crazy hypotheticals,
you really want some bread then go ahead,
create a set of goals and cross them off the list as you pursue em',
and with those Ninety six I know precisely what I'm doing!
