Hamilton Reacts To Hamilton(and some other stuff too)

MY SHOT!

HAMILTON:

I am not throwing away my shot

I am not throwing away my shot

Eacker: This is going to be repetitive.

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 a scholarship to King's College

I probably shouldn't brag, but dag, I amaze and astonish

Jefferson: That's bragging.

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.

Eacker: Arguable.

Phillip: *Glares*

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

Madison: Not to be rude or another, but why are you spelling your name out if it's dark?

Phee: That's actually a good question. I don't know.

I am the-

HAMILTON, LAFAYETTE, MULLIGAN, LAURENS:

A-L, E-X, A-N, D

E-R-we are-meant to be

HAMILTON:

A colony that runs independently

Meanwhile, Britain keeps shitting on us endlessly

Essentially, they tax us relentlessly

Then King George turns around, runs a spending spree

King George: I DO NOT!

He ain't never gonna set his descendants free

So there will be a revolution in this century

ENTER ME!

Eliza: WHAT? What does that mean?

LAURENS, LAFAYETTE, MULLIGAN:

(He says in parentheses)

Eliza: Oh. Nevermind.

HAMILTON:

Don't be shocked when your history book mentions me

I will lay down my life if it sets us free
