British Admiral Howe's got troops on the water. Thirty-two thousand troops in New York harbor. Thirty-two thousand troops in New York harbor. When they surround our troops, they surround our troops. When they surround our troops.

ℍ𝕒𝕞𝕚𝕝𝕥𝕠𝕟: 

As a kid in the Caribbean I wished for a warI knew that I was poor I knew it was the only way to rise up. If they tell my story, I am either gonna die on the battlefield in glory or rise up. We will fight for this land, but there's only one man who can give us a command so we can rise up. Understand? It's the only way to rise up. Rise up! Here he comes.

𝔹𝕦𝕣𝕣:

Here comes the general! Ladies and gentlemen here comes the general! The moment you've been waiting for! Here comes the general! The pride of Mount Vernon! Here comes the general! George Washington!

𝕎𝕒𝕤𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕘𝕥𝕠𝕟 (𝕒𝕟𝕕 𝕔𝕠𝕞𝕡𝕒𝕟𝕪): 

We are outgunned! (what?) Outmanned!  (what?) Outnumbered, outplanned! (buck, buck, buck, buck, buck!) We gotta make an all out stand! Ayo, I'm gonna need a right-hand man! (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: Boom! 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 (𝕒𝕟𝕕 𝕔𝕠𝕞𝕡𝕒𝕟𝕪):

We are outgunned! (what?) Outmanned! (what?) Outnumbered, outplanned (buck, buck, buck, buck, buck!) We gotta make an all out stand! Ayo, I'm gonna need a right-hand man! (buck, buck, buck, buck, buck!) Incoming!

ℍ𝕒𝕞𝕚𝕝𝕥𝕠𝕟 (𝕒𝕟𝕕 𝕄𝕦𝕝𝕝𝕚𝕘𝕒𝕟):

They're battering down the Battery check the damages. (Rah). We gotta stop 'em and rob 'em of their advantages. (Rah).  Let's take a stand with the stamina God has granted us Hamilton won't abandon ship! Yo, let's steal their cannons! 

𝕎𝕒𝕤𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕘𝕥𝕠𝕟 (𝕒𝕟𝕕 𝕔𝕠𝕞𝕡𝕒𝕟𝕪):

(Shh-boom!) Goes the cannon, watch the blood and the shit spray and- (boom!) Goes the cannon, we're abandonin' Kips Bay and- (boom!) There's another ship and- (boom!) We just lost the southern tip and- (boom!) We gotta run to Harlem quick, we can't afford another slip! Guns and horses giddyup. I decide to divvy up my forces, they're skittish as the British cut the city up. This close to giving up, facing mad scrutiny I scream in the face of this mass mutiny. Are these the men with which I am to defend America? We ride at midnight, Manhattan in the distance I cannot be everywhere at once, people, I'm in dire need of assistance!

𝔹𝕦𝕣𝕣:

Your excellency, sir.

𝕎𝕒𝕤𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕘𝕥𝕠𝕟:

Who are you?

𝔹𝕦𝕣𝕣:

Aaron Burr, Sir?
