Lyrics
[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! Tiger Woods 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 flows than Obi-Wan Kenobi-o!

[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!

[WOMAN 1, spoken] Ay, alabanza!

[SONNY] Ninety-six thousand!

[WOMAN 2/WOMAN 3, spoken] No me diga!

[SONNY] Ninety-six thousand!

[MAN, 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!

[CUCA] 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 mmy 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]

[VANESSA]
