Cousin Songtext
von Lin‐Manuel Miranda

I called a cousin, who called a cousin who called a friend
Who called a couple dozen cousins, cause it doesn′t end

My cousin Justin's looking for a little some-some
For a certain someone, some girl he wants to be touching

Everybody′s got a cousin who can hook them up with something
Everybody's got a cousin who can hook them up with something

We were just discussing our cousin Justin
Wasn't Justin the cousin who just made the honor roll, got the colleges buzzin′?

Are we close to our cousin Justin?
Are we supposed to trust him?
Are we thugs to our cousin Justin?
We don′t sell drugs, man

Everybody's got a cousin who can hook them up with something
Everybody′s got a cousin who can hook them up with something

Did you get it yet?
No, I'm about to get it
Is your dealer a student?
I got you, girl, don′t sweat it


Let me know when you got it
As soon as I can
I'll find a way to repay you, Justin
Oh, man!

Yo, what is up with this fussin′?
This isn't up for discussion
This is our cousin coming to us
He's our blood, and we love him

Ah, look at Justin, he blushing
Our little Justin is crushing
Sorry for rushing to judgement
Why should we get you these drugs?

Love!
What?
Only if you believe in love
Love!
Love! Love! Only if you believe in love

Get him the stuff

I hand my cousin twenty-fiveducats,
I′m sweating buckets
He hands me a sandwich bag with some little green nuggets


I got it for you
X-O, cool
You want it now?
See you at school

Everybody′s got a cousin who can hook them up with something
Everybody's got a cousin who can hook them up with something

Everybody′s got a cousin who can hook them up with something
Everybody's got a cousin who can hook them up with something

Everybody′s got a cousin who can hook them up with something
Everybody's got a cousin who can hook them up with something

Everybody′s got a cousin who can hook them up with something
Everybody's got a cousin who can hook them up with something
