[Hamilton]
I'm not going to miss the chance
I'm not going to miss your chance!
Hey, I'm in their country:
Young, aggressive and hungry.
And I'm not going to miss your chance!
I learned at Queen's University,
I probably should not brag, but, damn, I'm awesome.
The trouble is that I have a mind, but he needs polishing.
I have to shout to be heard,
In each of my word has been knowledge.
I'm a diamond in the rough, shiny ember,
Trying to achieve your goal. My eloquence no doubt,
I'm only nineteen, but my views are much more Mature.
On the new York streets becomes cooler
I push aside every burden, every hindrance.
I have learned to cope.
I have no weapon to be used lightly.
I wander these streets, dying of hunger,
I intend to start a fire from this spark,
But, hell, dark,
So allow me to say my name letter by letter

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'mma get scholarship to King's College
I probably 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 getting 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 my name
I am the -
