My favourite part of the musical "In The Heights", from the song "96,000":

Yo with 96 thousand: i'd finally fix housing
give the barrio computers with wireless web browsing
the kids are living without a good edumacation
change the station teach them about gentrification

the rent is escalating
the rich are penetrating
we pay the corporations when we should be demonstrating

what about immigration
politicians be hating
racism in this nation's gone from latent to blatant

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 never sleep
cuz the ghetto has a million promises for me to keep
