Hamilton (Hamilton) (№ 369555)

[Hamilton]
They fell upon our divisions, count losses,
We must stop them and capture the advantage
Let us take the position the Lord has given us a lot of exposure,
Hamilton will not leave the ship, let's take their guns!
(BOOM!)
[Washington]
(BOOM!) Gun shots, blood, and mud splashes...
(BOOM!) ...gun shots, we leave the Kips Bay...
(BOOM!) ...another ship, and...
(BOOM!) ...we just lost the southern tip...
(BOOM!) ...we need to quickly get to Harlem
We can't afford another mistake,
Arms and horses, come on!
I decided to disperse my troops,
They're too stubborn ever since the British captured the city,
They are willing to give up in the face of challenges.
I scream in the face of this mob of rebels:
"And these are people with whom I will defend America?"
We go to midnight, Manhattan is far.
I can't be everywhere at once, people
I really need help.
[Hamilton]
They're battering down the Battery, check the damages
We gotta stop ‘em and rob ‘em of their advantages
Let's take a stand with the stamina God has granted us
Hamilton won't abandon ship, yo, let's steal their cannons!
(Shh-BOOM!)
[Washington]
(BOOM) goes the cannon, watch the blood and the shit spray, and
(BOOM) goes the cannon, we're abandoning Kips Bay, and
(BOOM) there's another ship, and
(BOOM) we just lost the southern tip and
(BOOM) we've gotta run to Harlem quick,
We can't afford another slip
Guns and horses giddy up,
I decide to divvy up my forces,
They're skittish as the British cut the city up
This close to giving up, facing the 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.
