[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!
I'm 'a get a scholarship to King's College
I probably shouldn't brag, but dag, I amaze and astonish
"Are you sure, because that sounds a lot like bragging mon ami" Lafayette said
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 wouldn't be so sure about that." Jefferson said, earning a glare from Alex.
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
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
"Is that true?" John said, looking at Alex.
"Yes, i spent most of the money i had on a ticket to here." Alex replied simply.
[Laurens:]
Ooh!
[Hamilton:]
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
"Hey! That isn't true!" King George said, offended.
"Yeah it is!" Hercules shouted back.
He ain't ever gonna set his descendants free
So there will be a revolution in this century
Enter me

(He says in parentheses)
"Oh, that's smart, like stage directions." Angelica pointed out.
[Hamilton:]
Don't be shocked when your history book mentions me
"And they do." Chaos replied, reminding everybody she was still there.
I will lay down my life if it sets us free
Eventually, you'll see my ascendancy
[Hamilton (Laurens):]
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)
"Ok, ok we get it! Gosh, this song is so repetive."
[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, oh, 'Anarchy'!
"Oh my gosh, more of my cringe English!" Laf said, burying his face in his hands.
When I fight, I make the other side panicky
With my
[Hamilton/Laurens/Lafayette/Mulligan:]
Shot!
[Mulligan:]
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!
I'm gonna take a
"Yes! More of me!" Hercules said pumped up.
[Hamilton/Laurens/Lafayette/Mulligan:]
Shot!
[Laurens:]
And but we'll never be truly free
Until those in bondage have the same rights as you and me
(That's right!)
You and I. Do or die. Wait 'til I sally in
On a stallion with the first black battalion
Have another
