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

[BURR]
Ladies and gentlemen!
[ENSEMBLE]
Here comes the General!
[BURR]
The moment you've been waiting for!
[ENSEMBLE]
Here comes the General!
[BURR]

[ENSEMBLE]
Here comes the General!
[BURR]
George Washington !
[WASHINGTON]
We are outgunned
Outmanned
Outnumbered
Outplanned
We gotta make an all out stand
Ayo, I'm gonna need a right-hand man.
[ENSEMBLE]
What?
What?
Buck, buck, buck, buck, buck!
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?
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...
[ENSEMBLE]
Boom!
[WASHINGTON]
Any hope of success is fleeting
How can I keep leading when the people I'm
Leading keep retreating?
We put a stop to the bleeding as the British take Brooklyn
Knight takes rook, but look
[WASHINGTON]
We are outgunned
Outmanned
Outnumbered
Outplanned
We gotta make an all out stand
Ayo, I'm gonna need a right-hand man
Incoming!
[ENSEMBLE]
What?
What?
Buck, buck, buck, buck, buck!
Buck, buck, buck, buck, buck!
