00:00Let me just listen to my block.
00:06It's quiet.
00:08Usually the one train's up there screeching.
00:11There's so much stuff going on.
00:13It just got me thinking about all the people I care about the most.
00:16There's a breeze off the Hudson.
00:19And just when you think you're sick of living here, the memory floods in.
00:23The morning light off the fire escapes.
00:25The nights in Bendit Park blasting big pun tapes.
00:30It's a story of a block that was disappearing.
00:33Once upon a time, hit a faraway land called Washington Heights.
00:38Who's gonna notice we're going?
00:41Say it, so it doesn't disappear.
00:43Washington Heights!
00:45Look who's home!
00:47Bad change is happening on the block since you've been at school.
00:50When it came to dreams, we had to keep scraping by.
00:54Ice cold piragua!
00:55It's silly when we get into these crazy hypotheticals.
00:58If you really want some bread, then go ahead, create a set of goals.
01:01I'll pick a business school and pay the entrance fee.
01:03And maybe if you're lucky, you'll stay friends with me.
01:07They used to say, you work hard, you live by the rules,
01:11but things will come,
01:13and those things will heal you.
01:15I'm not gonna sit here and give you some fairytale.
01:18Ignore anyone who doubts you.
01:21Because this place,
01:23this is it.
01:29I just want to see a whole world through our eyes.
01:33Let's go!
01:34Go show them who we are.
01:36Today's all we got, so we cannot stop.
01:38This is our block!
01:43This is the moment where you do better than me.
01:45Because you can see a future that I can.
01:48Sonny, you're late.
01:49You know you love me?
01:51Yeah!
01:53We can pay off the debts we owe.
01:56We can tell everyone we know.
01:59We are not powerless.
02:00We are powerful.
02:03We are not powerless.
02:09We are not powerless.
02:19Stop!
