My Shot - Lin-Manuel Miranda
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 damn it’s getting dark
so let me spell out the name
I am the
A L E X A N D
E-Rwe aremeant to be
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
He ain’t ever gonna set
his descendants free
So there will be a revolution
in this century
Enter me
He says in parentheses
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
And 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
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
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
Mister 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 callin’ 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 over excited
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
Hey
Whoa
Wooh
Whoa
Ay let ‘em hear ya
Let’s go
I said shout it to the rooftops
Said to the rooftops
Come on
Come on let’s go
Rise up
When you’re living
on your knees you rise up
Tell your brother
that he’s gotta rise up
Tell your sister
that she's gotta rise up
When are these colonies
gonna rise up
When are these colonies
gonna rise up
When are these colonies
gonna rise up
When are these colonies
gonna rise up
Rise up
I imagine death so much it feels
more like a memory
When’s it gonna get me
In my sleep Seven feet
ahead of me
If I see it comin’
do I run or do I let it be
Is it like a beat
without a melody
See I never thought
I’d live past twenty
Where I come
from some get half as many
Ask anybody why we livin’ fast
and we laugh reach for a flask
We have to make
this moment last
that’s plenty
Scratch that
This is not a moment
it’s the movement
Where all the hungriest
brothers with
Something to prove went
Foes oppose us
we take an honest stand
We roll like Moses
claimin’ our promised land
And If we win our independence
Is that a guarantee of freedom
for our descendants
Or will the blood
we shed begin an endless
Cycle of vengeance
and death with no defendants
I know the action
in the street is excitin’
But Jesus between
all the bleedin’ ‘n fightin’
I’ve been readin’ ‘n writin’
We need to handle
our financial situation
Are we a nation of states
What’s the state of our nation
I’m past patiently waitin’
I’m passionately
Smashin’ every expectation
Every action’s an act
of creation
I’m laughin’ in the face
of casualties and sorrow
For the first time
I’m thinkin’ past tomorrow
And 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
We’re gonna rise up
Time to take a shot
We’re gonna rise up
Time to take a shot
We’re gonna
Time to take a shot
Time to take a shot
Time to take a shot
Take a shot
Shot
Shot
A-yo it’s
Time to take a shot
Time to take a shot
And I am
Not throwing away my
Not throwing away my shot
