Lyrics

No te vayas...
 Si me dejas...
 Si te alejas de mi...
 Seguiras en mis recuerdos para siempre...
 Para siempre...
 Para siempre...
 Para siempre...
 Para siempre...
 Lights out on Washington Heights
 And now the crack of dawn
 The blackout goes on and on and on...
 Sonny's out back, sortin' the trash
 As I think about the past,
 With a sack full of cash
 Abuela really wanted me up on a beach
 With margaritas in my reach,
 And soon that's how it's gonna be...
 Imagine me, leaving today
 On a seven-forty-seven
 Boardin' JFK...
 The hydrants are open
 Cool breezes blow
 The hydrants are open
 Cool breezes blow
 The hydrants are open
 Good morning
 Piragua, piragua
 Cool breezes blow
 New block of ice, piragua
 So sweet and nice, piragua
 Piragua, piragua
 The hydrants are open
 Cool breezes blow
 Good morning
 Piragua, piragua
 New block of ice, piragua
 So sweet and nice, piragua
 Piragua, piragua
 Siempre...
 Seguiras en mis recuerdos
 Para siempre...
 The hydrants are open
 Cool breezes blow
 Good morning
 Piragua, piragua
 New block of ice, piragua
 So sweet and nice, piragua
 Piragua, piragua
 Siempre...
 Seguiras en mis recuerdos
 Para siempre...
 I'll be downtown
 It won't be long now...
 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 in 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
 And 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?
 What it do? Haha, great sunlight this morning
 Yo cuz. We fixed the grate
 What did I tell you about this punk?
 You have to commission an artist while his rate is still good!
 The first work in my new series
 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'!
 Y'all 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
 Sonny's gotta eat, and 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've 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!
 We're home!
 Where people come
 People go
 Let me show all of these people what I know
 There's no place like home!
 We're home!
 And let me set the record straight
 I'm steppin' to Vanessa
 I'm gettin' a second date!
 I'm home!
 We're home!
 Where it's a hundred in the shade
 But with patience and faith
 We remain unafraid
 I'm home!
 Home!
 You hear that music in the air?
 Take the train to the top of the world
 And I'm there
 I'm
 Home!
