| [00:11.38] | I used to think we lived at the top of the world |
| [00:17.20] | When the world was just a subway map |
| [00:21.17] | And the one-slash-nine |
| [00:24.40] | Climbed a dotted line to my place |
| [00:30.50] | There’s no nine train now |
| [00:32.89] | Right |
| [00:34.59] | I used to think the Bronx was a place in the sky |
| [00:41.47] | When the world was just a subway map |
| [00:45.31] | And my thoughts took shape |
| [00:48.44] | On that fire escape… |
| [00:52.11] | Can you remind me of what it was like |
| [00:59.29] | At the top of the world? |
| [01:05.63] | Come with me |
| [01:10.75] | We begin July |
| [01:12.35] | With a stop at my corner fire hydrant |
| [01:15.70] | You would open it every summer! |
| [01:19.64] | I would bust it with a wrench |
| [01:21.80] | Till my face got drenched |
| [01:24.22] | Till I heard the sirens |
| [01:25.63] | Then I ran like hell! |
| [01:26.71] | You ran like hell! |
| [01:27.43] | Yeah, I ran like hell! |
| [01:28.55] | I remember well! |
| [01:29.68] | To your father’s dispatch window |
| [01:31.56] | “Hey, let me in, yo! |
| [01:32.77] | They’re coming to get me!” |
| [01:34.16] | You were always in constant trouble— |
| [01:38.75] | Then your dad would act all snide, but he’d let me hide |
| [01:42.90] | You’d be there inside— |
| [01:43.35] | Life was easier then |
| [01:45.32] | Nina, everything is easier |
| [01:47.98] | When you’re home… |
| [01:50.48] | The street’s a little kinder when you’re home |
| [01:55.64] | Can’t you see |
| [01:57.16] | That the day seems clearer |
| [02:00.27] | Now that you are here or |
| [02:02.30] | Is it me? |
| [02:04.95] | Maybe it’s just me… |
| [02:07.50] | We gotta go I wanna show you all I know |
| [02:09.94] | The sun is setting and the light is getting low |
| [02:11.80] | Are we going to Castle Garden? |
| [02:16.14] | Maybe, maybe not, but way to take a shot, when the day is hot |
| [02:19.43] | I got a perfect shady spot |
| [02:20.49] | A little ways away that oughta |
| [02:21.43] | Cool us down |
| [02:22.78] | Cool us down— |
| [02:23.94] | Welcome back to town... |
| [02:25.86] | Now, back in high school when it darkened |
| [02:28.75] | You’d hang out in Bennett Park and |
| [02:30.69] | Usnavi would bring his radio… |
| [02:35.20] | As I walked home from Senior Studies |
| [02:37.75] | I’d see you rapping with your buddies |
| [02:40.23] | With the volume high |
| [02:41.48] | I walked on by |
| [02:42.62] | You walked on by— |
| [02:47.84] | No pare! Sigue, sigue! |
| [02:49.94] | No pare! Sigue, sigue! |
| [02:52.50] | No pare! Sigue, sigue! |
| [02:54.23] | No pare! Sigue, sigue! |
| [02:56.57] | No pare! Sigue, sigue! |
| [02:58.81] | No pare! Sigue, sigue! |
| [03:01.11] | No pare! Sigue, sigue! |
| [03:03.49] | No pare sigue! |
| [03:05.11] | When you’re home |
| [03:07.99] | Oh, the summer nights are cooler |
| [03:09.83] | When you’re home! |
| [03:11.99] | Now that you’re here with me… |
| [03:14.55] | And that song you are |
| [03:16.50] | hearing is the |
| [03:17.34] | Neighborhood just |
| [03:18.42] | cheering you along— |
| [03:20.46] | Don’t say that |
| [03:21.63] | What’s wrong? |
| [03:22.64] | Don’t say that! |
| [03:24.33] | When I was younger, I’d imagine what would happen |
| [03:28.39] | If my parents had stayed in Puerto Rico |
| [03:33.25] | Who would I be if I had never seen Manhattan |
| [03:37.80] | If I lived in Puerto Rico with my people |
| [03:42.14] | My people! |
| [03:43.44] | I feel like all my life, I’ve tried to find the answer |
| [03:47.22] | Working harder, learning Spanish, learning all I can |
| [03:52.27] | I thought I might find the answer out at Stanford |
| [03:57.70] | But I’d stare out at the sea |
| [04:00.10] | Thinking, where’m I supposed to be? |
| [04:03.00] | So please don’t say you’re proud of me, when I’ve lost my way |
| [04:13.98] | Then can I say: |
| [04:16.84] | I couldn’t get my mind off you all day |
| [04:21.92] | Now listen to me! |
| [04:23.67] | That may be how you perceive it |
| [04:26.69] | But Nina please believe |
| [04:29.40] | That when you find your way again |
| [04:33.86] | You’re gonna change the world and then |
| [04:37.27] | We’re all gonna brag and say we knew her when... |
| [04:46.13] | This was your home |
| [04:47.61] | I’m home— |
| [04:48.48] | Welcome home— |
| [04:50.63] | When you’re here with me— |
| [04:53.20] | Welcome home— |
| [04:54.36] | I used to think that we lived at the top of the world! |
| [04:59.22] | Welcome home— |
| [05:00.26] | I’m home— |
| [05:01.25] | You’re finally home |
| [05:03.10] | You’re home! |
| [05:09.52] | I’m home! |
