"Okay, next song is my shot!" Valk said, interrupting Alexander's and Jefferson's little fight.

[HAMILTON]
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!

"Danm, we get it." Lee said, rolling his eyes. "Maybe calm down? It's just a song." Samuel responded with a soft smile. "..fine." Lee replied.

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

"That sounds like bragging-" KG(King George) told them while fixing his crown.

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!

"That's obviously a lie." Thomas says with a grin. Hamilton rolls his eyes at his remarks.

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

"Don't say anything Thomas." Madison tells him with a stare. Jefferson turns back at the screen.

Tryin' to reach my goal. My power of speech: unimpeachable
Only nineteen but my mind is older
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
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...

[HAMILTON]
A colony that runs independently
Meanwhile, Britain keeps shittin' on us endlessly
Essentially, they tax us relentlessly
Then King George turns around, runs a spending spree

"I do not! That's just rude." The king says with a big frown across his face.

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

(He says in parentheses)

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

"And it does!" Valk informs him. "Really?!" Alexanders eyes shimmer at that information. Xander nodded.

"Y'know, many of you are very well know." Xander adds, "Yes, you too, Jefferson." Thomas smiles.

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

[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

[LAURENS]
My shot!

My shot!

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!

[LAFAYETTE]
I dream of life without a monarchy
The unrest in France will lead to ‘onarchy?
‘Onarchy? How you say, how you say, ‘anarchy?'
