[Hamilton]
It's time to take a chance!
[Hamilton, Mulligan, Lawrence]
Arise! Arise!
It's time to take a chance!
Arise! Arise!
Time to take a chance!
Arise!
Take a chance!
It's time to take a chance!
Time to take a chance
And I
Don't miss your...
[The troupe]
...do not miss your chance!
[Hamilton]
It's time to take a shot
[Hamilton, Mulligan, Laurens]
Rise up, rise up
It's time to take a shot
Rise up, rise up
Time to take a shot
Rise up
Take a shot, a shot, a shot,
A-yo, it's time to take a shot
Time to take a shot
And I am
Not throwing away my
[Company]
Not throwing away my shot!
[Hamilton]
I thought about death as often
She is more like a memory.
When she gets to me?
When do I sleep? When she's seven feet away from me?
If I see it coming
I will be able to avoid it or submit it?
It is similar to the rhythm without music?
You see, I never thought that I would live more than twenty years,
Where I grew up, some live half the time.
Ask anyone, why are we getting wasted, laughing,
Reach for the flask -
We'll make this moment last,
And that's enough.
Sure!
This is not the time, this movement.
Where are all the starving brothers, who want to prove something?
Enemies oppose us, our position is honest.
We come, like Moses, claiming our Promised Land.
And if we achieve independence,
Would it be a guarantee of the freedom of our descendants?
Or shed blood will begin endless
The cycle of revenge and death, for which nobody is responsible?
I know that street fights are exciting,
But, o Lord, among the bloodshed and struggle
I read and wrote.
You need to deal with our financial situation.
We - the people of the United States? What is the condition of the people?
Patient waiting for me in the past!
I eagerly smash to smithereens all the calculations
Every act is an act of creation,
I laugh in the face of losses and sorrows,
For the first time in my life I think about tomorrow.
[Hamilton]
I imagine death so much
It feels more like a memory
When''s it's gonna get me?
In my sleep? Seven feet ahead of me?
If I see it coming,
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?
'Zat 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
[Burr]
Clever, lighten up.
Do not run up against trouble, and your chances will double.
I'm with you, but the situation is fraught with consequences
It is necessary to remember firmly:
If you talk, you're gonna get shot down.
[Hamilton]
Burr look, who is with us:
Mr. Lafayette is as strong as Lancelot.
Your pants look stunning
Lawrence, I like you very much.
Let us prepare the plot
Blacker than the pot that they were making fun of the pot...
What is the probability that the gods will gather in one place?
Spit on public opinion,
whether you like it or not,
A handful of revolutionaries, supporters of the abolition of slavery,
Give me the post, show me where the bullets.
Oh, am I talking too loud?
Sometimes I too get carried away and talk too much
I have never had a circle of friends,
I promise you will be proud of me.
[Burr]
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!
[Hamilton]
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 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
Quote Explanation: The Song "My Shot". In the line about the pot and the pot we are talking about the idiom: "Pot can't call kettle greasy".
[Lafayette]
I dream of a life without the monarchy,
Unrest in France will lead to a "anarchie".
"Anarchie"? As you say, how you say? Oh, "anarchy"!
When I fight, I make opponents panic
Its...
[Hamilton, Lafayette, Mulligan, Lawrence]
Shot!
[Mulligan]
Yo, I'm a pupil of the tailor
And you, stupid, the place of my parents.
I joined the rebellion,
Because I know - this is my chance
To rise in society, instead of sewing the fabric.
I use my...
[Hamilton, Lafayette, Mulligan, Lawrence]
Chance!
[Lawrence]
But we will never be truly free,
While these slaves do not have those rights that we have.
You and me. Do or die. Wait, when I go on the offensive
On the stallion, at the head of the first Negro battalion.
Another...
[Hamilton, Lafayette, Mulligan, Lawrence]
A shot glass!
[Lafayette]
I dream of life without the monarchy
The unrest in France will lead to "onarchy"
"Onarchy?" How you say, how you s-Oh, anarchy!
When I fight I make the other side panicky
With my
[Hamilton, Lafayette, Mulligan, Laurens]
Shot!
[Mulligan]
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 advance socially, instead of sewin' some pants
I'm gonna take a
[Hamilton, Lafayette, Mulligan, Laurens]
Shot!
[Laurens]
Eh, 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
[Hamilton, Lafayette, Mulligan, Laurens]
Shot!

We were meant to be...
[Hamilton]
...colony, which exists independently from the others.
Meanwhile, Britain no end of humiliating us.
By and large, their taxes merciless
King George thrives on this, squandering money.
He never released his descendants.
So, in this century will be a revolution,
Let me be a part of it!
[Lafayette, Mulligan, Lawrence]
(He says in brackets).
[Hamilton]
Don't be surprised when your history textbook
Will mention about me.
I will give my life if it would free us.
Sooner or later you will see my power.
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!
[Hamilton, Lafayette, Mulligan, Laurens]
We are - meant to be
[Hamilton]
A colony that runs independently
Meanwhile, Britain keeps shitting on us endlessly
Essentially, they tax us relentlessly
King George Then turns around, runs a spending spree
He ain't never gonna set his descendants free
So there will be a revolution in this century
ENTER ME!
[Lafayette, Mulligan, Laurens]
(He says in parentheses)
[Hamilton]
Don't be shocked when your history 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!
[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 -
[Hamilton, Lafayette, Mulligan, Laurens]
A-L, E-X, AN, D-E-R
[Lawrence]
