And left me with these memories like dyin’ embers
From a dream I can’t remember…
Ever since then it’s like
Another day deeper in debt with different dilemmas
The bodega’s a mess, I’ll be seeing less of Vanessa
Abuela I don’t know how I can keep it together!
And our lives are in these boxes
While the woman who held us is gone
But we go on, we grow, so…
Hold tight, Abuela, if you’re up there
I’ll make you proud of everything I know!
Thank you, for everything I know
Usnavi!
Yeah!
Before we both leave town!
Before the corner changes and the signs are taken down
Let’s walk around the neighborhood and say our goodbyes
Usnavi, are you alright?
I’m fine, I’m tryn’a open this champagne
Tonight we’re drinking straight from the bottle. Usnavi?
Yeah?
Daniela told me what you did for me
And it’s honestly the sweetest thing anyone ever did for me
Now, what can I say or do to possibly repay you for your kindness?
How do you get this gold shit off?
While the woman who held us is gone
But we go on, we grow, so…
Hold tight, Abuela, if you’re up there
I’ll make you proud of everything I know!
Thank you, for everything I know
Straighten the spine
Smile for the neighbors
Everything’s fine
Everything’s cool
The standard reply:
“Lots of tests, lots of papers.”
Smile, wave goodbye
And pray to the sky, oh, god…
And what will my parents say?
Can I go in there and say
I know that I'm letting you down...
