Song: My Shot-By Lin Manual Miranda
—————————-

He might not have a choice in the matter" uraraka mumbles. Everyone gives her a look.

"We didn't have any control when we were doing the number, if it is a musical then major plot points will happen in song, such as the death of the main character" suddenly music starts playing.

"Oh fuck no!" Kacchan yells. My body forces me to stand up.

"Deku!?"

[DEKU]
I am not throwing away my shot!
I am not throwing away my shot!
Hey yo, I'm just like my heroes
I'm young, scrappy and hungry
And I'm not throwing away my shot!
I'ma get a scholarship to UA high
I prob'ly 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!

"Izuku are you good?" I just shrug my shoulders at Todoroki's question.

I'm a diamond in the rough, a shiny piece of coal
Tryin' to reach my goal. My power of speech: unimpeachable
Only fourteen but my mind is older
These city streets get colder, I shoulder
Ev'ry burden, ev'ry disadvantage
I have learned to manage, I don't have a quirk 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—

[DEKU/IIDA/SERO/DENKI]
M-I-D-O-R-I-Y-A—we are—meant to be...

[DEKU]
A colony that runs independently
Meanwhile, Villains keeps shittin' on us endlessly
Essentially, they tax us relentlessly
Then Lov turns around, runs a spending spree
They ain't ever gonna set their descendants free
So there will be a revolution in this century
Enter me!

My mouth stops moving long enough for me to take a breath.

[DENKI/IIDA/SERO]
(He says in parentheses)

[DEKU]
Don't be shocked when your hist'ry book mentions me
I will lay down my life if it sets us free
Eventually, you'll see my ascendancy

[DEKU & (DENKI)]
And I am not throwing away
My shot (my shot)
I am not throwing away
My shot (my shot)
Hey yo, I'm just like my country
I'm young, scrappy and hungry
And I'm not throwing away my shot
And I'm not throwing away my shot

[DEKU/IIDA/SERO/DENKI]
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!

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

"Is Sero speaking French?" Mina askes.

When I fight, I make the other side panicky
With my—

[DEKU/IIDA/SERO/DENKI]
Shot!

[IIDA]
Yo, I'm a tailor's apprentice
And I got y'all knuckleheads in loco parentis
I'm joining the rebellion 'cause I know it's my chance
To socially advance, instead of sewin' some pants!

"Sewing pants?" The entire class-except for ones unable to-says.

I'm gonna take a—

[DEKU/IIDA/SERO/DENKI]
Shot!

[DENKI]
But we'll never be truly free
Until those in bondage have the same rights as you and me

"Bondage!?" Mineta askes loudly.
