Okay so you know how Lin-Manuel Miranda loves lyrical motifs? So, throughout the climax of this song the chorus sings the “Naomi” motif; and in the song, you’ll notice that Naomi‘s notes are distinguishably higher than Justin’s. This gives Justin and Naomi distinguished Leitmotif’s. Now listen to the motif’s and notice that they gradually modulate from Justin’s key to Naomi’s. This is especially striking because lyrical motifs are layered. So far, the “Naomi” motif has been used to symbolise Justin’s innocence and infatuation. In the song, both of these features are his downfall, and Justin’s motif (which is potentially a future perspective like Hamilton’s “Wait”) is trying desperately to reach her and remind her that this is why he’s giving her the drugs. And this is why this song is so sad 😭.
Ik this was posted like 7 months ago so I’m hella late lol but what do you mean (in simpler terms) by the first explanation and then the 2nd explanation because I’m invested... 💀
I used to vibe to this musical a year ago and then I heard this on tik tok and thought “this is a nice so- 🤨 wait a minute” then all these memories flowed back ☺️
• B L I S S F U L L• there used to be this thing called “entrapment” where the police would go undercover to “coerce” people (mainly POC) into committing crimes, the officer was called Naomi Rodriguez and she befriended him, he fell in love with her, she asked him for weed baring in mind he didn’t smoke but he loved her sm he got it for her. He was going to give it to her for free but in order for it to be an actual crime he has to be paid so that’s why she wants him to take the money. He eventually takes it just to please her and she calls the police and they arrest him.

@@Gyaaaaaaaaaat69420 honestly I think drugs hit close to home ruined my childhood destroyed my family so I get why Naomi wants to do the job but she's not fixing the problem and i hate that but idk she could be super guilty idk

It's a short musical based on a true story. The woman is a cop under cover who asked him to give her drugs in order to arrest him. He isn't a drug dealer, he had a crush on her so he found a way to get some just to please her. She asks him to take her money because he wouldn't be considered as a dealer if he doesn't sell it.

Oh my god that’s a pun.
IT'S A PUN
0:47 Nintendo giving us ugly Animal Crossing villagers be like:
"Just in time" must be wordplay for "Justin' Time
I heard this on tik tok and I just KNEW it had been written by Lin-Manuel Miranda idk howw
Sammme it reminded me of Aaron Burr/Dear Theodosia somehow
This was really helpful :)
Naomi finessed poor Justin
He still commited a crime though. Did it deserve to ruin his life? Absolutely not. Maybe a small fine and being expelled but nothing like that.

I'm actually here because Anthony's voice...
Justin popped OFF! 👏👏👏👏👏
I heard this song on tiktok and then I decided to do a little bit more research lol
To all the people who come from TikTok: this song is from a very good musical. Watch it, you won't be disappointed and it's only 14 minutes long. ^^
when I heard this on tik tok for the first time I legit thought it was Leslie Odom Jr.....was I the only one?
Someone needs to make a 10 hr loop of this
✌😭😭
I would’ve just kept the money and kept rolling with my drugs and bread 💅🏾
the girl is an undercover cop and she’s trying to incriminate justin she can’t do that if she doesn’t give him to money
