• My Shot

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

[Hamilton]
I'ma get scholarship to kings college
I probably 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'm a diamond in the rough, a shining piece of coal
Trying to reach my goal, my power of speech unimpeachable
Only 19 but my mind is older
These New York City streets getting colder, I shoulder
Every burden, every disadvantage I've learned to manage
I don't have guns brandish, I walk these streets famished
My plan is to fan this spark into a flame
But damn, it's getting dark so let me spell out my name

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 shitting on us endlessly
Essentially, the tax us relentlessly
And King George turns around and runs a spending spree
He ain't never gonna set his descendants free
So there will be a revolution in this century

(Enter me)
'he says in parentheses'
Don't be shocked when the history book mentions me
I'll lay down my life if it sets us free
Eventually you'll see my ascendancy

[Hook]
And I'm 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 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
It's time to take a shot

[Lafayette]
I believe in life with out a monarchy
The unrest in France will lead to anarchy
Anarchy?
How do you say, I oh
Anarchy
When I fight I make the other side panicky
With my Shot!

[Hercules Mulligan]
Yo, I'm a tailor's apprentice
And I gots y'all knuckleheads in loco parentis
I'm joining the rebellion cause it gives me a chance
To socially advance, instead of sewing some pants
Go on and take a Shot!

[Laurens]
Eh bro we'll never be truly free
Unless those in bondage have the same rights as you and me
You and I, Do or die wait till I gallop in on a stallion
With the first black battalion
Having made a shot

[Burr]
Geniuses, lower your voices
You Keep out of trouble and you double your choices
I'm with you but the situation is fraught
You got to be carefully taught
If you talk your going to get shot!

[Hamilton]
Burr, check what we got
Mr.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 calling the pot
What are the odds the Gods would put us all on this spot
I have sworn to conventional wisdom if you like it or not
A bunch of revolutionary manumission abolitionist
Give me a position show me where the ammunition is

Oh am I talking to 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

[Lafayette]
Let's get this guy in front of a crowd

[Hook]
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 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

[Chorus]
Everybody Sing
Oh, oh, woooahhh
Hey
Wo-oh-oh
Woo
Wo-oh-oh
Let 'em hear ya

Let's go
W-woah, wooooaah
Tell it to the roof tops
Wo-oh-oh
Tell it to the roof tops
Wo-oh-oh
Come on
Come on, let's go

[Burr]
Rise up
When you're living on your knees
You gotta Rise up
Tell your brother that he's got to
Rise Up
Tell your sister that she's got to
Rise Up
When are these colonies gonna

[Chorus]
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

[Hamilton]
I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory
When's it's gonna get me? In my sleep? Seven feet ahead of me?
If I see it coming, do I run or do I let it be?
Is it like a beat without a melody?
See, I never thought I'd live past twenty

Where I come from some get half as many
Ask anybody why we living fast, and we laugh, reach for a flask
We have to make this moment last, and that's plenty
Scratch that: This is not a moment, it's a movement
Where all the hungriest brothers with something to prove went
Foes oppose us
We taking on a stand and roll like Moses, claiming our Promised Land

And, if we win our independence
Is that a guarantee of freedom for our descendants?
Or will the blood we shed begin an endless cycle of vengeance and death with no defendants?
I know the action in the street is exciting
But Jesus, between all the bleedin' and fightin' I've been readin' and 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 waiting! 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 thinking past tomorrow

[Hook]
And I am not throwin' away my... shot
I am not throwin' away my... shot
Hey, yo, I'm just like my country
I'm young, scrappy, and hungry
And I'm not throwin' away my... shot

[Chorus]
We gonna rise up
Time to take a shot
We gonna rise up
Time to take a shot
We gonna rise up, rise up
Time to take a shot
Rise up, rise up
Time to take a shot
Rise up, rise up
Time to take a shot (W-Woah)
Take a shot (Oh-Oh)
Take a shot (Oh)
Take a shot (Woah-oh)
Take a shot (Woah-oh)
Not throwing away my
Not throwing away my shot!
