Epilogue Songtext
von Lin‐Manuel Miranda
Epilogue Songtext
Justin would later find out it′s a felony in Florida to sell marijuana
The penalty is even harsher for selling it on school property
In other words, Justin had made an irreversibly bad decision
And since he was over 18, he was legally an adult when he made it
Seriously, these kids need to learn there are consequences in life
I am doing my job, I am doing it right
I am making life safer one school at a time
In May, the police arrested 31 students at several schools, Justin was one of them
Freeze! You have the right to remain silent
Everybody who sold drugs to undercover cops is busted
Everybody who sold drugs to undercover cops is busted
Everybody who sold drugs to undercover cops is busted
Everybody who sold drugs to undercover cops is busted
He spent a week in jail wondering what would happen next
It's your words against hers, the cops have every text
The cops have every text, the cops′ve every text
"Don't worry girl, I got the stuff, I got you."
He knew he'd lose in court, he had to take a plea
Three years′ probation, I pled guilty to the felony
What? A felony? A nickel bag′s a felony?
What? Justin, say goodbye to college, they got you
These kids need to wake up, I don't want to go too much into it
But drugs hit really close to home for me
I saw the effects growing up of cocaine, and marijuana, and ecstasy
With family members?
Yes, I′ve seen what it can do to a family, that's all I want to say about it
Do you wish someone like you had done this type of work?
Yes, and I hope someone like me keeps doing it
Still, there are kids you remember, the ones that you′ll think about after you're gone
During the week he spent in jail, Justin couldn′t help but think about Naomi
She was a light-skinneded Puerto Rican-Dominican
Long hair, mature in a body like whoa
That's not the only reason I liked her, though
Yo, if it had been a guy taht came up to me asking for drugs, I would've been like
"No!, get out of my face"
I don′t hang out with people like that
It′s cause it was her
Have you talked to her since all of this happened?
No, I would love to, I would love to have that conversation
What do you think you would say?
I would say
What the heck did you do? What the heck did you do?
Naomi, what the heck did you do?
The penalty is even harsher for selling it on school property
In other words, Justin had made an irreversibly bad decision
And since he was over 18, he was legally an adult when he made it
Seriously, these kids need to learn there are consequences in life
I am doing my job, I am doing it right

Everybody who sold drugs to undercover cops is busted
Everybody who sold drugs to undercover cops is busted
Everybody who sold drugs to undercover cops is busted
