Meet the latest graduate of King's College
I prob'ly shouldn't brag, but, dag, I amaze and astonish
The scholars say I got the same virtuosity and brains as my pops
The ladies say my brain's not where the resemblance stops
I'm only nineteen but my mind is older
Gotta be my own man, like my father, but bolder
I shoulder his legacy with pride, I used to hear him say
That someday I would (blow us all away!)Alex smiles at Philip, who wasn't smiling but looking down.
"What's wrong pip," he whispers.
"Just...memories."Ladies, I'm lookin for a Mr. George Eacker
Alex growls.
Made a speech last week, our Fourth of July speaker
He disparaged my father's legacy in front of a crowd
I can't have that, I'm making my father proudI saw him just up Broadway a couple of blocks, he was goin' to see a play
Well, I'll go visit his box (god, you're a fox!)
And y'all look pretty good in ya' frocks
How 'bout when I get back, we all strip down to our socks? (ooh, okay!)"Like father like son!" Jefferson says laughing, expecting Alex to laugh but he didn't. He had no clue why. (Laurens is the only one becides Alex and Philip that knows)
Blow us all away
George (shh!) George! (shh, I'm tryin' to watch the show!)
Ya shoulda watched your mouth before you talked about my father though
I didn't say anything that wasn't true
Your father's a scoundrel, and so, it seems, are youWashington, if he ever met that man, wanted to teach him a lesson.
It's like that?
Yeah, I don't fool around, I'm not your little schoolboy friends
Well, see you on the dueling ground"W-what...?" George and Theo says.
That is, unless you wanna step outside and go now
I know where to find you, piss off, I'm watchin' this show nowPops, if you had only heard the shit he said about you
I doubt you would have let it slide and I was not about to (slow down!)
I came to ask you for advice, this is my very first duel
They don't exactly cover this subject in boarding schoolDid your friends attempt to negotiate a peace?
He refused to apologize, we had to let the peace talks cease
Where is this happening?
Across the river, in Jersey
Everything is legal in New Jersey!Alex and Philip says it at the same time, trying to cheer eachother up.
Alright, so this is what you're gonna do
Stand there like a man until Eacker is in front of you
When the time comes, fire your weapon in the air
This will put an end to the whole affairBurr looks down since that is what Alex did.
But what if he decides to shoot? Then I'm a goner
No, he'll follow suit if he's truly a man of honor
To take someone's life, that is something you can't shake
Philip, your mother can't take another heartbreakFather!
Promise me
You don't want this young man's blood on your conscience
Okay, I promiseCome back home when you're done
Take my guns, be smart, make me proud, sonMy name is Philip
I am a poet"That was your birthday thing right?" Lafayette asked and Philip nodded.
And I'm a little nervous, but I can't show it
I'm sorry, I'm a Hamilton with pride
You talk about my father, I cannot let it slide
Mister Eacker, how was the rest of your show?I'd rather skip the pleasantries, let's go
Grab your pistol (confer with your men)
The duel will commence after we count to ten (count to ten!)Look 'em in the eye, aim no higher
Summon all the courage you require
Then slowly and clearly aim your gun towards the sky
1 2 3 4 5 6 7-
*gunshot*Everyone stays quiet, all you can hear is the music and Philip + Alex holding in tears.
Where's my son?
Mr. Hamilton, come in, they brought him in a half an hour ago
He lost a lot of blood on the way over (stay alive) is he alive?
Yes, but you have to understand
The bullet entered just above his hip and lodged in his right arm
Can I see him please?I'm doing everything I can but the wound was already infected when he arrived
"H-hamilton...." Madison chocked out.
Philip

I held my head up highI know, I know, shh (high)
I know, I know, shh
I know you did everything just rightEven before we got to ten (shh)

I was aiming for the sky (I know, I know, shh)I know, save your strength and stay alive! (No)

Is he breathing? Is he going to survive this? (Stay alive)Who did this, Alexander, did you know?
Mom, I'm so sorry for forgetting what you taught me
