1776

New York City

Pardon me are you Aaron Burr sir? That depends who's asking?

Oh well sure - sir

I'm Alexander Hamilton I'm at your service sir I have been looking for you

I'm getting nervous. Sir I heard your name at Princeton I was seeking an accelerated

course of study when I got sort of added sorts with a body of yours I may have

punched him

it's a blur sir. He handles the financials

You punched the bursar

Yes. I wanted to do what you did. Graduate in two and join the revolution. He looked at me

like I was stupid. I'm not stupid

So how'd you do it? How'd you graduate so fast?

It was my parents dying wish before they passed.

You're an orphan, of course, I'm an orphan.

Gosh I wish there was a war then we could prove that we're worth more than anyone bargained for.

Can I buy you a drink? That would be nice.

And while we're talking let me offer you some free advice - talk less

What?

Smile more.

Ha...

Don't let them know what you're against or what you're for.

You can't be serious.

You want to get ahead?

Yes

Fools who run their mouths off wind up dead.

A y-yo y-yo yo, what time is it?

Showtime!

Like I said...

haha well if it ain't the prodigy and Princeton College!

Aaron Burr! Give us a verse Drop some knowledge

Good luck with that You're taking a stand

You spit, Imma sit We'll see where we land

Burr, the revolutions is imminent What do you stall for?

If you stand for nothing Burr,

What will you fall for?

Oooo Who are you who are you who is this

kid what's he gonna do?

I am not throwing away my shot

I am not throwing away my shot

Hey yo, I’m just like my country I’m young, scrappy and hungry

And I’m not throwing away my shot

I’m ‘a get a scholarship to King’s College I prob’ly shouldn’t brag, but dag, I amaze and astonish

The problem is I got a lot of brains but no polish

I gotta holler just to be heard With every word, I drop knowledge

I am the A-L-E-X-A-N-D-E-R we are meant to be

A colony that runs independently

Meanwhile, Britain keeps sitting on us endlessly

Essentially, they tax us relentlessly Then King George turns around, runs a spending spree

hey never gonna set his descendants free So there will be a revolution in this century

I dream of life without a monarchy The unrest in France will lead to 'onarchy?

Onarchy how you say, how you say, anarchy? When I fight, I make the other side panicky

With my, shot

Yo, I’m a tailor’s apprentice And I got y’all knuckleheads in loco parentis

I’m joining the rebellion 'cause I know it’s my chance To socially advance, instead of sewin’ some pants

I’m gonna take a shot

But we’ll never be truly free Until those in bondage have the same rights as you and me

You and I. Do or die. Wait till I sally in On a stallion with the first black battalion

Have another shot

Geniuses, lower your voices You keep out of trouble and you double your choices

I’m with you, but the situation is fraught You’ve got to be carefully taught

If you talk, you’re gonna get shot

Burr, check what we got Mister Lafayette, hard rock like Lancelot

I think your pants look hot Laurens, I like you a lot

Let’s hatch a plot blacker than the kettle callin’ the pot What are the odds the gods would put us all in one spot

Poppin’ a squat on conventional wisdom, like it or not A bunch of revolutionary manumission abolitionists?

Give me a position, show me where the ammunition is

Oh, am I talkin’ too loud?

Sometimes I get over excited, shoot off at the mouth

I never had a group of friends before I promise that I’ll make y’all proud

Let’s get this guy in front of a crowd

I am not throwing away my shot I am not throwing away my shot

Hey yo, I’m just like my country I’m young, scrappy and hungry

And I’m not throwing away my shot

Come on Let's go!

Rise up

When you’re living on your knees, you rise up

Tell your brother that he’s gotta rise up Tell your sister that she's gotta rise up

When are these colonies gonna rise up? When are these colonies gonna rise up?

When are these colonies gonna rise up? When are these colonies gonna rise up?

Rise up

I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory When’s it gonna get me?

In my sleep, seven feet ahead of me? If I see it comin’, do I run or do I let it be?

Is it like a beat without a melody? I know the action in the street is excitin'

But between all the bleedin’ ‘n fightin’ I’ve been readin’ ‘n writin’

We need to handle our financial situation Are we a nation of states what’s the state of our nation?

I’m past patiently waitin' I’m passionately smashin’ every expectation Every action’s an act of creation

I’m laughin' in the face of casualties and sorrow For the first time, I’m thinkin’ past tomorrow

And I am not throwing away my shot I am not throwing away my shot

Hey yo, I’m just like my country I’m young, scrappy and hungry

And I’m not throwing away my shot

We’re gonna rise up (time to take a shot)

We’re gonna rise up (time to take a shot)

We’re gonna, rise up, rise up

It's time to take a shot Rise up, rise up, it's time to take a shot

Rise up, it's time to take a shot Rise up, take a shot, shot, shot

It's time to take a shot, time to take a shot And I am not throwing away my shot

Not throwing away my shot
