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!

" new song?" Eliza asked.

Yup. Adi responded. The transition is FLAWLESS she thought.

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

" he says that... then proceeds to brag." Thomas remarks. James nudges his arm and pops a Carmel in his mouth. Thomas grumbles something and takes a sip of his pop.

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!

" do you now?" Thomas asked mockingly. Alex just shot him a quick glare.

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

Phillip and Theo blush as they " accidentally" brush each other fingers while getting a gummy bear.

These New York City streets get 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

Eliza squeezing Alex's hand and Alex fiddles with the smarties wrapper until he opens it. He smiled and Eliza, insuring her that he's ok.

The plan is to fan this spark into a flame
But damn, it's getting dark, so let me spell out the name
I am the—

[HAMILTON/LAFAYETTE/MULLIGAN/LAURENS]
A-L-E-X-A-N-D
E-R—we are—meant to be...

" but... he never told them his name... how did they...?" Thomas asked.

Honestly, I don't know. Adi replied.

[HAMILTON]
A colony that runs independently

" these lyrics are actually pretty impressive." Mr. Washington mumbles. He eats a piece of popcorn.

Meanwhile, Britain keeps shittin' on us endlessly
Essentially, they tax us relentlessly
Then King George turns around, runs a spending spree

The revolutionists all nod in agreement.

He ain't ever gonna set his descendants free
So there will be a revolution in this century
Enter me!

"What?" Eliza perks up.

[LAFAYETTE/MULLIGAN/LAURENS]
(He says in parentheses)

" oh. " she settled back down.

[HAMILTON]
Don't be shocked when your hist'ry book mentions me

I guess all that work wasn't in vein. Alex thought.

I will lay down my life if it sets us free
Eventually, you'll see my ascendancy

Phillip and Angie smile brighter.

[HAMILTON]
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
