my shot

3rd person POV:

(A/N: I had to change some lyrics sorry if it's bad)

Aaron took a deep breath and looked up at the man that was at least a foot taller than him for a man who had a lot to say his mind was completely blank 'come on say something your making yourself look like a idiot!' Aaron thought "I'm not throwing away my shot!" Aaron said 'well a better way to start would've been saying your name but I guess that works' Aaron thought "I'm not throwing away my shot!" Aaron repeated

"Hey yo, I'm just like my country I'm young, scrappy and hungry And I'm not throwing away my shot!" Aaron said slamming his mug onto the groups table "I'm 'a get a scholarship to Princeton College I probably shouldn't brag, but dag, I amaze and astonish 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! I'm a diamond in the rough, a shiny piece of coal Tryin' to reach my goal. My power of speech: unimpeachable" Aaron said proudly as the other twos eyes lit up with vague intrigue

"Only nineteen but my mind is older
These New York City streets get colder, I shoulder Every burden, every disadvantage I have learned to manage, I don't have a gun to brandish I walk these streets famished" Aaron said "Ooh!" Thomas cheered "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" Aaron said getting up onto the table and standing on it

"A-A-R-O-N-B-U-R-R we are meant to be" they all said in unison "A colony that runs independently Meanwhile, Britain keeps shittin' on us endlessly Essentially, they tax us relentlessly Then King Washington turns around, runs a spending spree
He ain't ever gonna set his descendants free So there will be a revolution in this century Enter me!" Aaron said "he says in parentheses" the other three said watching Aaron on a mix of awe and amusement

"Don't be shocked when your history book mentions me I will lay down my life if it sets us free Eventually, you'll see my ascendancy" Aaron said jumping down from the table "And I am not throwing away My shot" Aaron said "My shot" Thomas echoed "I am not throwing away My shot (Thomas:My shot) Hey yo, I'm just like my country I'm young, scrappy and hungry And I'm not throwing away my shot (Thomas:And I'm not throwing away my shot)" Aaron said Thomas still echoing him

Madison and William decided to join in "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!" They all said

"I dream of life without a monarchy
The unrest in these colonies will lead to 'onarchy? 'Onarchy? Wait that's not..oh, 'Anarchy'! When I fight, I make the other side panicky With my-" Madison started "-shot!" The others finished for him

"Yo, I'm a lawyer's apprentice (A/N: do lawyers have apprentices?) And I got y'all knuckleheads in loco parentis
I'm joining the rebellion 'cause I know it's my chance To socially advance, and finally take a stand I'm gonna take a-" William said "-shot!" The others finished for him

"but we'll never be truly free Until those in bondage have the same rights as you and me ( Aaron:That's right!)
You and I. Do or die. Wait 'til I sally in On a stallion with the first black battalion Have another" Thomas said "shot!" The others finished

"Geniuses, lower your voices
You keep out of trouble and you double your choices I'm with you," Alexander said putting a round of shots on the table "but the situation is fraught You've got to be carefully taught: If you talk, you're gonna get shot!" Alexander finished the four gabbed the shot glasses and took a shot
