Christopher Jackson - Benny Moves Out lyrics
[USNAVI] Yo I can only imagine Benny's reaction to Nina all grown up and in the latest fashion That awkward interaction, the simmering pa**ion, throughout dinner he's clashing with Nina's dad he's gnashing his teeth all mad at the family he never had Flashing back to his Mom's pad and the projects of Gunhill He ran away at 18, the memory is one still photograph We had to pack in a hurry, I borrowed Mr. Rosario's car he's probably worried [BENNY] Usnavi just hurry [USNAVI] What [BENNY] You're taking all day! [USNAVI] That's when we saw his mom shuffling down the same old hallway A fly on the wall hey, I was just a pair of eyes on the night Benny gave mommy a sad surprise [ALMA] Benny is that you? [BENNY] Yeah ma [ALMA] You just getting in? [BENNY] Yeah-I was, just go back to bed, alright [ALMA] Mira I just wanted to apologize for before, for yelling [BENNY] It's over [ALMA] It's just that I get so scared when we fight You storm out and I think you're never coming back What are you doing up? It's late [BENNY] I know [ALMA] What's the suitcase for? Usnavi is that for you? [BENNY] Go back to bed [ALMA] You first Tell me the truth mi amor [BENNY] Mom I'm leaving home. I can't live here anymore. I'm grown [ALMA] So you want to leave me alone like your father [BENNY] I'm nothing like- [ALMA] Don't bother [BENNY] So, you're impossible [ALMA] Impossible? I give my life and work two jobs each night so I can raise you right And the thanks I get when the day is done; an ungrateful son on the run [BENNY] It's like that huh? Well what do I get? Do I even get a chance to speak? You bring home a new motherf**er trying to be my dad each week [ALMA] -That's not true! [BENNY] So Benny how's school? How's cla**? He's got a little cash but he's taken pity on our broke a** And when you're through with his money he's out the door and that's fine It's your life but I don't gotta live it anymore Usnavi's got an extra room in his (?) I got my suitcase Just get out my way you ain't stopping me [ALMA] The life we have and everything I do has been for you and only you I guess I always knew you'd break my heart someday Please stay...
