[Verse 1]
You got me hostage, rosas in your hair
The danger of despair is getting to me and the familia
When you living on the edge
Pledging alleigiance to the flag of America
Since the first day of Kindergarten, you learn to stop
I never knew I was growing a garden
Big enough to hear whole crowds applauding
In the morning and afternoon
Must be the confidence I had sported
Showing up and reporting a good time
I gotta ask my dad, was I a joy in the the making?
Cause I sure am a boy in the making becoming a man
Come on, damn, you a part of the plan
Let's get it popping for the festival
You the best uno, better than the rest you know?
You the one that just never give it a rest you know?
How professional, what a relief
There's still a higher peak I can reach

[Chorus]
In the Heights—do you feel it?
In the Heights—the pressure, the pressure
In the Heights—don't you fight this feeling
In the Heights—the pleasure, the pleasure
In the Heights (Oh, yeah)
In the Heights (Uh huh, uh huh)
In the Heights
[Verse 2]
I told my negro Vito we'd hit the casinos
As soon as we get enough dinero to fly out to Rio
But first I'd have to go and pick up Stephanie Rios
Out in Wisconsin, honest, I really gotta see ya
Like, "Ay Dios Mío!", "Que pasó amigo?"
You should turn a cheek or two to that ominous lingo
I'm tryna get my voice heard
So I'm going in and out of being a singer for my audience
Got a couple audiences at that, play ball and right off the bat
I put my best foot forward, so I'm always alright
Homie, I heard you alright? You scared of the height—
But I've never been afraid to take flight for the whole crown
Hometown, know I'm home now
But I'll be gone later, so pay your respects
I got a couple things I gotta get off of my head
But I gotta get out of bed first, what you really thinking?

[Break]
Uh huh, uh huh
Yeah, chorus—let's go

[Chorus]
In the Heights—do you feel it?
In the Heights—the pressure, the pressure
In the Heights—don't you fight this feeling
In the Heights—the pleasure, the pleasure
In the Heights (Oh, yeah)
In the Heights (Uh huh, uh huh)
In the Heights
