The Lyrics:
7 years dread and fear, blood sweat & tears I never dreamt that In The Heights would ever get me here Working all night and studying all day I took the long hard way to off-broadway and on days the lyrics don't come well you just hum and pray to god that something gets you out of the humdrum cuz everybody thinks my neighborhood is just some slum no matter how hot the block has gotten I've never forgotten where I'm from Vrum vrum! start your engines first come the critics then the honorable mentions then sell some tickets get some national attention I can't thank you enough for all your passionate connection Yeah and some say I got the hood sanitized they only scandalized they ain't never seen Hispanic guys without smackin their wives or packin knives or havin real lives I went online just to analyze the rate of crime up in Washington Heights yo, the crime rate's twice as high on the upper east side No. Yeah! That shit was astoundin to me! I ain't never seen no bangin or slangin in Woody Allen movies! Do me a favor set the beef to the side is it alright for me to rep my people with pride? For kids to see Latinos in a positive light? For tourists to ride up to Washington Heights without lockin their car doors tight? Maybe rolling down the windows buyin piraguas from the man on the side of riverside drive? Or seeing life through his eyes? He's just like you and I, he's just trying to get by. He's just trying to get up and get in here. And hear what I've been hearing for the last 7 years. See the show.
