[USNAVI]

Ninety-six thousand!

[SONNY/BENNY]

Damn!

[USNAVI]

Ninety-six thousand!

[SONNY]

Dollars? Holler!

[USNAVI]

Ninety-six thousand!

[BENNY, spoken]

Yo, somebody won!

[USNAVI]

Ninety-six thousand!

[BENNY]

Yo,​

If I won the lotto tomorrow

Well, I know I wouldn’t bother goin’ on no spendin’ spree

I 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 businessman, richer than Nina’s daddy!

Donald Trump and I on the links, and he’s my caddy!

My money’s makin’ money, I’m goin’ from po’ to mo’ dough!

Keep the bling, I want the brass ring, like Frodo!

[USNAVI]

Oh no, here goes Mr. Braggadocio

Next thing you know, you’re lying like Pinocchio—

[BENNY]

Yo, if you’re scared of the bull, stay out the rodeo!

[GRAFFITI PETE]

Yo, I got more hoes than a phone book in Tokyo!

[USNAVI]

Ooh, you better stop rappin’, you not ready

It’s gonna get hot and heavy

And you already sweaty—

[GRAFFITI PETE]

Yo-yo-yo! Yo!

[USNAVI]

Yo! I’m sorry is that an answer?

Shut up, go home and pull ya damn pants up!

As for you, Mr. Frodo of the Shire—

96 G’s ain’t enough to retire

[BENNY]

C'mon, I’ll have enough to knock your ass off its axis!

[USNAVI]

You’ll have a knapsack full of jack after taxes!

[SONNY]

Ninety-six thousand!

[ABUELA CLAUDIA, spoken]

Ay, alabanza!

[SONNY]

Ninety-six thousand!

[DANIELA/CARLA, spoken]

No me diga!

[SONNY]

Ninety-six thousand!

[VANESSA, spoken]

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 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

It’s 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 ninety-six G’s—

[DANIELA]

Who me?

[CARLA]

I mean if it’s just between you and me—

[DANIELA]

Esa pregunta es tricky!

[CARLA]

I know

[DANIELA]

With ninety-six G’s

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, spoken]

Yo, I’m just sayin’...

(sung)

It’s silly when we get into these crazy hypotheticals

You really want some bread? Then go ahead create a set of goals

And cross them off the list as you pursue ‘em

And with those ninety-six, I know precisely what I’m doin’

[VANESSA]

What'chu doin’?

[USNAVI]

What’m I doin? What’m I doin?

It takes most of that cash just to save my ass from financial ruin

Sonny can keep the coffee brewin’

I’ll spend a few on you

‘Cause the only room with a view is a room with you in it

And I could give Abuela Claudia the rest of it

Just fly me down to Puerto 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 Hiznits!

[SONNY]

Yo!

With ninety-six thousand, I’d finally fix housin’

Give the barrio computers with wireless web browsin’

Your kids are livin’ without a good edjumication

Change the station, teach 'em about gentrification

The rent is escalatin’

[GRAFFITI PETE]

What?!

[SONNY]

The rich are penetratin’

[GRAFFITI PETE]

What?!

[SONNY]

We pay our corporations when we should be demonstratin’

[GRAFFITI PETE]

What?!

[SONNY]

What about immigration?

[GRAFFITI PETE]

What?!

[SONNY]

Politicians be hatin’

[GRAFFITI PETE]

What?!

[SONNY]

Racism in this nation’s gone from latent to blatant

[COMMUNITY]

Oooooh!

[SONNY]

I’ll cash my ticket and picket, invest in protest

Never lose my focus 'til 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, spoken]

You are so cute!

[SONNY, spoken]

I was just thinking off the top of my head.​

[USNAVI, spoken]

Ninety-six K: Go.​

[VANESSA]

If I win the lottery, you’ll never see me again

[USNAVI]

Damn, we only jokin’, stay broke then

[VANESSA]

I’ll be downtown

Get a nice studio, I'll get out of the barrio

[VANESSA]

If I

​win the

​​lottery

You’ll wonder where

I’ve been

[BENNY]

For real, though

Imagine how it would feel

​goin’ real slow,​

Down the highway of

​life with no regrets,​
