No te vayas
Si me dejas
Si te alejas de mí
Seguirás en mis recuerdos para siempre
Para siempre para siempre
Para siem
Para siem
Para siempre
Lights up on Washington Heights
And now the crack of dawn
I pack as life goes on and on and on
Para siempre
Time to go but I'm doing the math
On this cash money to have Sonny stay on his path
Para siempre
Abuela really wanted me up on a beach
With margaritas in my reach and
Soon that's how it's gonna be
Para siempre
And look at me leavin' today
On a seven forty seven boardin' JFK
The hydrants are open
Cool breezes blow
The hydrants are open
Cool breezes blow
Piragua
Good morning
The hydrants are open
Piragua
New block of ice piragua
Cool breezes blow
So sweet and nice piragua
Piragua
Piragua
Piragua
Good morning
Siempre
The hydrants are open
Piragua
New block of ice piragua
Cool breezes blow
So sweet and nice piragua
Seguirás en mis recuerdos
Piragua
Para siempre
Piragua
Piragua
I'll be downtown
Siempre
Piragua
New block of ice piragua
Seguirás en mis recuerdos
It won't be long now
Para siempre
There's a breeze off the Hudson
And just when
You think you're sick of living here the memory floods in
The morning light off the fire escapes
The nights at Bennett Park blasting Big Pun tapes
I'm 'a miss this place to tell you the truth
Kevin dispensin' wisdom from his dispatch booth
And at dawn Vanessa at the salon we gotta move on
But who's gonna notice we're gone
When our job's done
As the evening winds down to a crawl son
Can I ease my mind when we're all done
When we've resigned in the long run
What do we leave behind
Most of all I'll miss Abuela's whispers
Doin' the Lotto Pick Six every Christmas
In five years when this whole city's rich folks and hipsters
Who's gonna miss this raggedy little business
Hey you
Hey
Do you have two minutes
You said you wanted to see the world through my eyes right
Yeah
Come with me
Usnavi sees Graffiti Pete's mural
He hates it
Shh He's forming an artistic opinion
You did this last night
Yeah
There goes my flight
What
Graffiti Pete you're gonna need some new cans
Here's some money finish up
There's been a slight change of plans
Nice
Listen up guys you got a job I'm not playin'
You gotta go now tell the whole block I'm stayin'
Go ahead tell everyone we know
Sonny
Alright go
Yeah I'm a streetlight
Chillin' in the heat
I illuminate the stories of the people in the street
Some have happy endings
Some are bittersweet
But I know them all and that's what makes my life complete
We're home
And if not me who keeps our legacies
Who's gonna keep the coffee sweet with secret recipes
Abuela rest in peace you live in my memories
But Sonny's gotta eat this corner is my destiny
We're home
Brings out the best in me we pass a test and we
Keep pressin' and yes indeed you know I'll never leave
If you close your eyes that hydrant is a beach
That siren is a breeze that fire escape's a leaf on a palm tree
We're home
Abuela I'm sorry
But I ain't goin' back because I'm telling your story
And I can say goodbye to you smilin' I found my island
I been on it this whole time
I'm home
We're home
The hydrants are open
Cool breezes blow
It's a wonderful life that I've known
Merry Christmas you ole' building and loan
I'm home
We're home
The hydrants are open
Cool breezes blow
Abuela that ain't a stoop that's your throne
Long after ya birds have all flown
I'm home
Where the coffee's non stop
And I drop this hip hop
In my mom and pop shop
I'm home
Where people come
People go
Let me show all of these people what I know
There's no place like home
And let me set the record straight
I'm steppin' to Vanessa
I'm gettin' a second date
I'm home
Where it's a hundred in the shade
But with patience and faith
We remain unafraid
I'm home
You hear that music in the air
Take the train to the top of the world
I'm there
I'm home
