(This is in reply to Jayie’s last lyric ^^)
But remember from here on in
(Oops I replied to that 😛 )
History has its eyes on you
Ignore this 😛
😛
Yaaay!! Sorry I got confused 😛 Wanna do What Comes Next because I’m pretty sure we already did Yorktown (The World Turned Upside Down) 😛
Ooo, that works. ^^
They say
The price of my war’s not a price
That they’re willing to pay
Insane
You cheat with the French, now I’m fighting with France and with Spain
I’m so blue
I thought that we’d made an arrangement
When you went away
You were mine to subdue
Well, even despite our estrangement, I’ve got
A small query for you…
What comes next?
You’ve been freed
Do you know how hard it is to lead?
You’re on your own
Awesome. Wow
Do you have a clue what happens now?
Oceans rise
Empires fall
It’s much harder when it’s all your call
All alone, across the sea
When your people say they hate you, don’t
Come crawling back to me
Da dada da daaaaa
Da dada dadayada
Dada dada dayadaaaaaaa
You’re on your own…
^^
Yaay!!! We finished another one 😀 I have to go get ready so I’ll be gone for like 15 minutes then we can do Dear Theodosia?
Nvm I’m back 😛
Dear Theodosia, what to say to you?
You have my eyes
You Have your mother’s name.
When you came into the world you cried
And it broke my heart.
I’m dedicating every day to you
Domestic life was never quite my style
But when you smile
You knock me out, I fall apart
Domestic life was never quite my style
When you smile, you knock me out, I fall apart
And I thought I was so smart
(Should we start our own or should I just join…?)
Either. ^^
Why don’t we just start a new one so it’s not all confusing. 😛 Do you wanna start?
Sure. ^^
How does a bastard, orphan, son of a ***** and a
Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten
Spot in the Carrbibean by providence, impoverished in squalor,
Grow up to be a hero and a scholar?
I didnt know u could say that
I didn’t hence why I bleeped it out. 😛
I think they were talking about the bastard part. 😛
Ah. Hmm. Should I bleep it out?
Maybe… But we’ve said it quite a few times.
The ten-dollar founding father without a father
Got a lot farther by working a lot harder
By being a lot smarter
By being a self-starter
By fourteen, they placed him in charge of a trading charter
And every day, while slaves were being slaughtered and carted away
Across the waves, he struggled and kept his guard up
Inside, he was longing for something to be a part of
The brother was ready to beg, steal, borrow, or barter
Then a hurricane came, and devastation reigned
Our man saw his future drip, dripping down the drain
Put a pencil to his temple, connected it to his brain
And he wrote his first refrain, a testament to his pain
Well the word got around, they said “This kid is insane, man!”
Took up a collection just to send him to the mainland
Get your education, don’t forget from whence you came
And the world’s gonna know your name
What’s your name, man?
Alexander Hamilton
My name is Alexander Hamilton
And there’s a million things I haven’t done
But just you wait, just you wait…
When he was ten his father split, full of it, debt ridden
Two years later see Alex and his mother bed ridden
Half dead, sitting in their own sick, the scent thick
And Alex got better but his mother went quick
Moved in with a cousin, the cousin committed suicide
Left him with nothin’ but ruined pride, something new inside
A voice saying
Alex, you gotta fend for yourself!
He started retreatin’ and reading every treatise on the shelf.
He started retreatin’ and readin’ every treatise on the shelf
There would’ve been nothing left to do for someone less astute
He would’ve been dead or destitute, without a cent or restitution
Started working, clerking for his late mother’s landlord
Trading sugarcane and run and all the things he can’t afford
Scammin’ for every book he can get his hands on
Plannin’ for the future see him now as he stands on
The bow of a ship headed for a new land
In New York you can be a new man
In New York you can be a new man
Just you wait!
In New York you can be a new man
Just you wait!
In New York you can be a new man
In New York
New York
Just you wait!
Alexander Hamilton
Alexander Hamilton
We are waiting in the wings for you
Waiting in the wings for you
You could never back down
You never learned to take your time
Oh, Alexander Hamilton
Oh, Alexander Hamilton
Alexander Hamilton…
America sings for you
Will they know what you overcame?
Will they know you rewrote the game?
The world will never be the same, oh
The ship is in the harbor now, see if you can spot him
Another immigrant coming up from the bottom
His enemies destroyed his rep, American forgot him
We fought with him
Me? I died for him
Me? I trusted him
Me? I loved him
And me? I’m the **** fool that shot him
There’s a million things I haven’t done
But just you wait
What’s your name, man?
Alexander Hamilton!
(Yay! Do you wanna do Aaron Burr, Sir? 😀 )
(Works for me. ^^)
1776
New York City
Pardon me. Are you Aaron Burr, sir?
That depends, who’s asking?
Oh, well, sure, sir
I’m Alexander Hamilton, I’m at your service, sir
I have been looking for you
I’m getting nervous
Sir…
I heard your name at Princeton. I was seeking an accelerated course of study when I got sort of out of sorts with a buddy of yours. I may have punched him. It’s a blur, sir. He handles the financials?
You punched the bursar?
Yes!
I wanted to do what you did. Graduate in two, then join the revolution. He looked at me like I was stupid, I’m not stupid
So how’d you do it? How’d you graduate so fast?
It was my parents’ dying wish before they passed
You’re an orphan. Of course! I’m an orphan
God, I wish there was a war!
Then we could prove that we’re worth more
Than anyone bargained for…
Can I buy you a drink?
That would be nice
While we’re talking, let me offer you some free advice
Talk less
What?
Smile more
Ha
Don’t let them know what you’re against or what you’re for
You can’t be serious
You wanna get ahead?
Yes
Fools who run their mouths off wind up dead
Yo yo yo yo yo!
What time is it?
Showtime!
…like I said…
Showtime, showtime, yo!
I’m John Laurens in the place to be!
Two pints o’ Sam Adams, but I’m working on three, uh!
Those Redcoats don’t want it with me!
‘Cause I will pop chick-a pop these cops ’til I’m free!
Qui qui, mon ami, je m’appelle Lafayette!
The Lancelot of the revolutionary set!
I came from afar just to say “Bonsoir!”
Tell the King “Casse toi!” Who’s the best? C’est moi!
Brrah! Brraaah! I am Hercules Mulligan
Up in it, lovin’ it, yes I heard ya mother said “Come again!”
Ayyyyy
Lock up your daughtrs and horses
Of course, it’s hard to **** ***********
Over four sets of corsets
Wow
No more ***, pour me another brew, son!
Let’s raise a couple more…
To the revolution!
Well, if it ain’t the prodigy of Princeton College!
Aaron Burr!
Give us a verse, drop some knowledge!
Good luck with that: you’re takin’ a stand
You spit. I’m ‘a sit. We’ll see where we land
Boooo!
Burr, the revolution’s imminent. What do you stall for?
If you stand for nothing, Burr, what’ll you fall for?
Ooh
Who are you?
Who are you?
Who are you?
Ooo, who is this kid?
What’s he gonna do?
I’m heading to bed. Can we do My Shot in the morning?
Sure. 😀
The ten dollar founding father without a father
Got a lot farther by working a lot harder
Take a break, run away with us for the summer
Lets go upstate, we can all go stay with our father… there’s a lake I know, you and I can go, when the night gets dark
Hamilton for life! Every one please say they’re favorite song(s), here are mine:
Act 1: Track 11: Satisfied
Act 1: Track 23: Non Stop
Non-stop is definitely my favorite. 😀
Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story is my favorite, 😀
Some of my favourites are the Cabinet Battles, Helpless, Guns and Ships and Aaron Burr, sir, but there are too many to choose from.
The Cabinet Battles are hilarious!
Can they all be my favorite? XD 😛
XD
Non-stop for life! I love it more than anything!
non stop
room where it happens
congratulations
yorktown
Non-Stop, My Shot, and the Room Where it Happens. I like them all though!
guyg guys guys. Favorite song from the workshop. Mine is probably Meet Me Inside because Lee actually says “YOU SHOT ME IT THE SIDE”
My favourite workshop track is undisputedly The Adams Administration, but I also love Congratulations and Your Obedient Servant, among others 😛
I love that part! I also love Congratulations, Schuyler Defeated and Let it Go, and the full Adams Administration rap 😀
yea!! Schuyler Defeated is awesome in the workshop when Burr says, ‘BUT UPSTATE YOU’RE THE RASCAL WHO TRADES AWAY THE CAPITAL, THE A-HOLE WHO TAXES THE A-A-ALCHAHOL
Internet-singing anyone?
British Admiral Howe’s got troops on the water…
Thirty-two thousand troops in New York harbor…
(That was fast 😛 )
Thirty-two thousand troops in New York Harbor…
Thirty-two thousand troops in New York Harbor…
And they surround our troops
They surround our troops
They surround our troops
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
Rise up!
If they tell my story I will either die on the battlefield in glory or
Rise up!
I will fight for this land, but there’s only one man who can give us a command to
Rise up!
Rise up!
Here he comes
Understand, it’s the only way to rise up, rise up
Here he comes
Here comes the general!
Ladies and gentlemen
Here comes the general!
The moment you’ve been waiting for!
Here comes the General
George Washington!
At camp we had activities with our cabin called Cabin Time and on the last day (yesterday, since we didn’t have cabin time today) I kept singing “One Last Cabin Time…” 😛
I’m back. Do you wanna start “My Shot”?
Sure. 😀
I guess I’ll start.
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 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!
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
Ev’ry burden, ev’ry disadvantage
I have learned to manage, I don’t have a gun to brandish
I walk these streets famished
The plan is to fan this spark into a flame
But ****, it’s getting dark, so let me spell out the name
I am the
A-L-E-X-A-N-D
E-R – we are – meant to be…
(Agh, sorry, I forgot I’d left this in moderation D:)
(It’s fine 😀 sorry I’m so late on replying)
A colony that runs independently
Meanwhile, Britain keeps *******’ on us endlessly
Essentially, they tax is relentlessly
Then King George 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!
He says in parenthesis
(It’s cool. ^^ I took a while too)
Don’t be shocked when your his’try book mentions me, eventually you’ll see my ascendancy!
And I am not throwing away my shot!
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 asendancy
And I am not throwing away
My shot
My shot!
(I’m in a restaurant so I might not reply for a bit)
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 am not throwing away
My shot
And I’m not throwing away my shot
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!
I dream of life without a monarchy
The unrest in France will lead to ‘onarchy?
‘Onarchy? How you say, how you say, ‘anarchy?’
When I fight, I make the other side panicky
With my
Shot!
Yo, I’m a tailor’s apprentice
And I got y’all knuckleheads in loco parentis
I’m joining the rebellion cuz I know it’s my chance
To socially advance, instead of sewin’ some pants!
I’m gonna take a
Shot!
But we’ll never be truly free
Until those in bondage have the same rights as you and me
You and I. Do or die. Wait till I sally in
On a stallion with the first black battalion
Have another
(Jayietheswift 😉 😛 )
Shot!
(^^)
Geniuses, lower your voices
You keep out of trouble and you double your choices
I’m with you, but the situation is fraught
You’ve got to be carefully taught:
If you talk, you’re gonna get shot!
Burr, check what we got
Mr. Lafayette, hard rock like Lancelot
I think your pants look hot
Laurens, I like you a lot
Let’s hatch a plot blacker than the kettle calling the pot
What are the odds the gods would put us all in one spot?
Poppin’ a squat on conventional wisdom, like it or not
A bunch of revolutionary manumission abolitionists
Give me a position, show me where the ammunition is!
Oh, am I talkin’ too loud?
Sometimes I get overexcited, shoot off at the mouth
I never had a group of friends before
I promise that I’ll make y’all proud
Let’s get this guy in front of a crowd
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 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!
Ev’rybody sing!
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
Hey!
Whoa
Whoa!
Wooh!!
Whoa!
Whoa!
Ay, let ‘em hear ya!
Yea!
Let’s go!
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
I said shout it to the rooftops!
Whoa!
Come on!
