@*shifting realities* Thank you for following me!

3rd person POV (Wow. Something other than Y/n POV!)

[COMPANY]
British Admiral Howe's got troops on the water
Thirty-two thousand troops in New York harbor

[ENSEMBLE 1 & ENSEMBLE 2]
Thirty-two thousand troops in New York harbor
Thirty-two thousand troops in New York harbor
When they surround our troops!
They surround our troops!
They surround our troops!
They surround our troops!
When they surround our troops!

Washington got nervous that the song would mention what he always thought while everyone else was thinking about that day.

[HAMILTON]
As a kid in the Caribbean I wished for a war

"Why did you wish for a war?!" Peggy questioned. As the song continued, she got her answer.

I knew that I was poor
I knew it was the only way to—

[HAMILTON/BURR/MULLIGAN/LAURENS/LAFAYETTE]
Rise up!

[HAMILTON]
If they tell my story
I am either gonna die on the battlefield in glory or—

[HAMILTON/BURR/MULLIGAN/LAURENS/LAFAYETTE]
Rise up!

[HAMILTON]
I will fight for this land
But there's only one man
Who can give us a command so we can—

[HAMILTON/BURR/MULLIGAN/LAURENS/LAFAYETTE]
Rise up!

[HAMILTON]
Understand? It's the only way to—

[HAMILTON/BURR/MULLIGAN/LAURENS/LAFAYETTE]
Rise up! Rise up!

[HAMILTON]
Here he comes!

[ENSEMBLE]
Here comes the General!

[BURR]
Ladies and gentlemen!

Washington put his face in his hands, he was embarrassed by Burr saying this.

[ENSEMBLE]
Here comes the General!

[BURR]
The moment you've been waiting for!

[ENSEMBLE]
Here comes the General!

[BURR]
The pride of Mount Vernon!

[ENSEMBLE]
Here comes the General!

[BURR]
George Washington!

[WASHINGTON & ENSEMBLE]
We are outgunned (What?)
Outmanned (What?)
Outnumbered
Outplanned (Buck, buck, buck, buck, buck!)

Y/n overlapped the "buck" part with "PAY YOUR F*CKING TAXES!" Her and Valencia giggled while everyone was confused.

We gotta make an all out stand
Ayo, I'm gonna need a right-hand man

"And that's me!" said Hamilton proudly.

(Buck, buck, buck, buck, buck!)

[WASHINGTON]
Check it—
Can I be real a second?
For just a millisecond?
Let down my guard and tell the people how I feel a second?

Everyone got quiet as the song continued.

Now I'm the model of a modern major general
The venerated Virginian veteran whose men are all
Lining up, to put me up on a pedestal
Writin' letters to relatives
Embellishin' my elegance and eloquence
But the elephant is in the room
The truth is in ya face when ya hear the British cannons go...

Valencia shouted with the song.

[ENSEMBLE]
Boom!
