Usnavi, Benny, Sonny, Vanessa, Daniela, Carla, Company - 96,000 Lyrics
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, here goes mr. Braggadocio
Next thing you know, he's 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 ass 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 shit!
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
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 list 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 ass 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 heights.
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 education
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:
politicians be hating
GRAFFITI PETE:
what?
SONNY:
Racism in this nation's gone from latent to blatant!
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 won the lottery, you'd never see me again.
USNAVI:
Damn, we're only jokin', stay broke, then...
VANESSA:
I'll be downtown, get a nice studio, get out of the barrio
If i win the lottery, you'll wonder where I've been
BENNY (AT THE SAME TIME):
For real, though, imagine how it would feel going real slow down the highway of life with no regrets
and no breakin' your neck for respect or a paycheck-
ALL TOGETHER:
No me diga!
SONNY
Ninety six thousand!
VANESSA
I never win shit!
SONNY
Ninety six thousand!
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

we’ll throw
The biggest block party,
everybody here
A weekend when we can
breathe, take it easy. . .
