HAMILTON:

I am not throwing away my shot

I am not throwing away my shot

Eacker: This is going to be repetitive.

Hey yo, I'm just like my country

I'm young, scrappy, and hungry

And I'm not throwing away my shot!

I'mma get a scholarship to King's College

I probably shouldn't brag, but dag, I amaze and astonish

Jefferson: That's bragging.

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.

Eacker: Arguable.

Phillip: *Glares*

I'm a diamond in the rough, a shiny piece of coal

Tryin' to reach my goal, my power of speech: unimpeachable

Only nineteen, but my mind is older

These New York City streets getting colder, I shoulder

Ev'ry burden, ev'ry disadvantage

I have learned to manage. I don't have a gun to brandish

I walk these streets famished

The plan is to fan this spark into a flame

But damn, it's getting dark, so let me spell out my name

Madison: Not to be rude or another, but why are you spelling your name out if it's dark?

Phee: That's actually a good question. I don't know.

I am the-

HAMILTON, LAFAYETTE, MULLIGAN, LAURENS:

A-L, E-X, A-N, D

E-R-we are-meant to be

HAMILTON:

A colony that runs independently

Meanwhile, Britain keeps shitting on us endlessly

Essentially, they tax us relentlessly

Then King George turns around, runs a spending spree

King George: I DO NOT!

He ain't never gonna set his descendants free

So there will be a revolution in this century

ENTER ME!

Eliza: WHAT? What does that mean?

LAURENS, LAFAYETTE, MULLIGAN:

(He says in parentheses)

Eliza: Oh. Nevermind.

HAMILTON:

Don't be shocked when your history book mentions me

I will lay down my life if it sets us free

John: Please don't.

Eventually you'll see my ascendancy

HAMILTON and (LAURENS):

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

I am not throwing away my shot (my shot)

Hey yo, I'm just like my country

I'm young, scrappy, and hungry

[HAMILTON & LAURENS]

And I'm not throwing away my shot

HAMILTON, MULLIGAN, LAURENS, LAFAYETTE:

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

It's time to take a shot!

Lee: Very repetitive.

Seabury: *Slightly nods*

Maria: I like it!

LAFAYETTE:

I dream of life without the monarchy

The unrest in France will lead to "onarchy"

"Onarchy?" How you say, how you s—Oh, anarchy!

When I fight I make the other side panicky

With my

Everyone: *Laughs at Laf's bad English*

Lafayette: *blushes and shrinks in his seat*

HAMILTON, MULLIGAN, LAURENS, LAFAYETTE:

Shot!

MULLIGAN:

Yo, I'm a tailor's apprentice

And I got y'all knuckleheads in loco parentis

I'm joining the rebellion cuz I know it's my chance

To socially advance, instead of sewin' some pants

I'm gonna take a-

HAMILTON, MULLIGAN, LAURENS, LAFAYETTE:

Shot!

LAURENS:

Eh, but we'll never be truly free

Until those in bondage have the same rights as you and me

John: THAT'S RIGHT!

Alex: YEAH!

You and I, do or die, wait till I sally in on a stallion

With the first black battalion

Have another

HAMILTON, MULLIGAN, LAURENS, LAFAYETTE:

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've got to be carefully taught:

If you talk, you're gonna get shot!

Alex: Very bold of you to say that

Burr: I'm sorry!

HAMILTON:

Burr, check what we got

Mr. Lafayette hard rock like Lancelot

I think your pants look hot

Laurens, I like you a lot

John: *smiles*

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

Hercules: You-You've never had friends before?

Alex: *shakes head*

John: We're your friends now! *Hamilsquad hug, along with Angelica, Eliza, Peggy, Washington, and Phillip*

Alex: *Small smile*

Everyone: *Awkwardly dies*

LAURENS:

Let's get this guy in front of a crowd!

COMPANY:

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

Lee: This is getting repetitive. My boyfr- Sammy's songs are much better than this.

Seabury: *blushes and hides his face in Lee's arm*

LAURENS and (HAMILTON, LAFAYETTE, MULLIGAN):

Everybody sing

Woah-woah, wo-oh-oh (Woah-woah, wo-oh-oh)

Hey

Wo-oh-oh (Wo-oh-oh)

Wooh!!

Wo-oh-oh (Wo-oh-oh)

Sing let 'em hear ya (Yeah)

LAURENS and (COMPANY):

Let's go! (Woah-woah, wo-oh-oh)

I said, shout it to the rooftops

(Wo-oh-oh)

Said to the rooftops

(Wo-oh-oh)

Now come on

(Yeah)

Now come on, let's go

LAURENS:

Rise up

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

Tell your brother that he's got to rise up

Tell your sister that she's got to rise up

John: Am I about to kiss the guy I'm talking to?

Alec: Maybe.

Peggy: *Looks at Angelica and Eliza* RISE UP!

Everyone: *Laughs*

LAURENS & ENSEMBLE and (COMPANY)

When are these colonies gonna rise up

(Whoa, woah)

When are these colonies gonna rise up (Woah)

When are these colonies gonna rise up (Woah)

When are these colonies gonna rise up (Woah)

Rise up

John, Hercules, Lafayette, Burr: Woah, we're frozen!

Phee: It's called standing still, but okay.

HAMILTON:

I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory

Lafayette: WHY? MON AMI? WHY?

Alex: Because?

Alec: Mood.

Phee: *looks concerned*

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?

John: You RUN Alex. You RUN!

Alec: You could lay down on the floor?

John: *Looks concerned*

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

Eliza: That's sad.

Alex: It's life. *Shrugs*

Ask anybody why we livin' fast and we laugh, reach for a flask

We have to make this moment last, that's plenty

Alex: Did the person who wrote this musical read my thoughts?

Phee: Actually, no, it's from thousands of research, AND reading secret letters from your time.

Burr: Privacy invaders!

Phee: Doesn't matter.

Scratch that

This is not a moment, it's the movement

Where all the hungriest brothers with something to prove went

Foes oppose us, we take an honest stand

We roll like Moses, claimin' our Promised Land

And? If we win our independence?

'Zat a guarantee of freedom for our descendants?

Or will the blood we shed begin an endless

Cycle of vengeance and death with no defendants?

Washington: Huh, we've never thought of that. Very smart son.

Alex: Thank you sir. And also, I'm not your son.

I know the action in the street is excitin'

But Jesus, 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

HAMILTON & COMPANY:

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

Eacker: IT'S SO REPITIVE! IT'S HURTING MY BRAIN!

Phillip: If you even have one *scoffs*

Eacker: :(

Eliza: Phillip-

Eacker: :(

Phillip: Sorry mom!

Eacker: *lowkey pouting*

HAMILTON, MULLIGAN, LAURENS and (ENSEMBLE):

We gonna rise up; time to take a shot

We gonna rise up; time to take a shot

It's time to take a shot

HAMILTON, MULLIGAN, LAURENS and (ENSEMBLE):

It's time to take a shot (rise up, rise up)

(Wo-oah) Time to take a shot (rise up)

Take a shot, a shot, a shot, (Oh-Oh, oh)

Time to take a shot (Woah-oh)
