Lyrics:

British Admiral Howe's got troops on the water.
Thirty-two thousand troops in New York harbor.
When they surround our troops. They surround our troops. When they surround our troops.
As a kid in the Caribbean, I wish 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 am either going to 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 so we can rise up.
Understand it’s the only way to rise up, rise up. Here he comes.

I am not throwing away my shot, I am not throwing away my shot, ay yo I’m just like my country I’m young scrappy and hungry and I am not throwing away my shot.
Imma get a scholarship to Kings 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 know the action in the street is exciting but Jesus between all the bleeding and fighting I’ve been reading and writing, we need to handle our financial situation.
Are we a nation of states what’s the state of our nation?
I’m past patiently waiting I’m passionately smashing every expectation, every action’s an act of creation.
I’m laughing in the face of casualties and sorrow.
For the first time, I’m thinking past tomorrow. And I am

I’m taking this horse by the reigns making red coats redder with blood stains.
And I’m never gonna stop until I make ‘em drop burn ‘em up and scatter their remains I’m
Watch me engaging ‘em, escaping ‘em, enraging ‘em I
Go to France for more funds,
I come back with more guns.
Alexander Hamilton, troops are waiting in the field for you.
If you join us right now, together we can turn the tide, oh Alexander Hamilton.
I have soldiers that will yield for you. If we manage to get this right, they’ll surrender by early light.
The world will never be the same, Alexander.

Let me tell you what I wish I’d known
when I was young and dreamed of glory.
You have no control, who lives, who dies, who tells your story.
I know that we can win.
I know that greatness lies in you.
But remember from here on in,
history has its eyes on you
History has its eyes on you.

When you got skin in the game you stay in the game
But you don’t get to win unless you play in the game
Oh you get love for it, you get hate for it,
you get nothing if you wait for it wait for it, wait!
God help and forgive me.
I wanna build something that’s gonna outlive me.
What do you want Burr, What do you want Burr,
If you stand for nothing Burr, what will you fall for?
I wanna be in the room where it happens the room where it happens.
I wanna be in the room where it happens the room where it happens. The art of the compromise,
hold your nose and close your eyes.
We want our leaders to save the day
but we don’t get a say in what they trade away.
We dream of a brand new start
but we dream in the dark for the most part.
Dark tomb where it happens, I’ve got to be in the room
in the room…

You say
the price of my love is a price you’re not willing to pay
You cry
in your tea which you hurl in the sea when you see me go by
Why so sad?
Remember we made an arrangement when you went away.
Now you’re making me mad.
Remember despite our estrangement I’m your man
You’ll be back, soon you’ll see
You’ll remember you belong to me.
You’ll be back, time will tell
you’ll remember that I served you well
Oceans rise, empires fall,
we have seen each other through it all,
and when push, comes to shove
I will send a fully armed battalion to remind you of my love
Da da da da da, da da da da da da da da da da da da.

In New York you can be a new man
in New York, you can be a new man
In New York, you can be a new man
In New York.
Just you wait
Alexander Hamilton
We are waiting in the wings for you
You could never back down
you never learned to take your time.
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.
What’s your name man?
Alexander Hamilton
