- I'm young scrappy and hungry
- And I'm not throwing away my shot
- I'm a get a scholarship to king's college
- I prob'ly 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 get 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 the name
- I am the
- A-l-e-x-a-n-d
- E-r we are meant to be
- A colony that runs independently
- Meanwhile Britain keeps shittin' on us endlessly
- Essentially they tax us relentlessly
- Then king George turns around runs a spending spree
- He ain't ever gonna set his descendants free
- So there will be a revolution in this century
- Enter me
- He says in parentheses
- Don't be shocked when your hist'ry 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
- 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
- It's time to take a shot
- I dream of life without a monarchy
- The unrest in France will lead to monarchy
- Onarchy how you say how you say anarchy'
- When I fight I make the other side panicky
- With my
- Shot
- Yo I'm a tailor's apprentice
- And I got y'all knuckleheads in loco parent-is
- I'm joining the rebellion cuz I know it's my chance
- To socially advance instead of sewin' some pants
- I'm gonna take a
- Shot
- 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
- Shot
- 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
- Burr check what we got
- Mister Lafayette hard rock like Lancelot
- I think your pants look hot
- Lauren's 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
- Let's get this guy in front of a crowd
- 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 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
- Ev'rybody sing
- Whoa whoa whoa
- Hey
- Whoa
- Wooh
- Whoa
- Ay let 'em hear ya
- Let's go
- Whoa
- Wooh
- I said shout it to the rooftops
- Said to the rooftops
- Come on
- Come on let's go
- Rise up
- When you're living on your knees you rise up
- Tell your brother that he's gotta rise up
- Tell your sister that she's gotta rise up
- When are these colonies gonna rise up
- When are these colonies gonna rise up
- When are these colonies gonna rise up
- When are these colonies gonna rise up
- Rise up
- I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory
- When's it gonna get me
- In my sleep seven feet ahead of me
- If I see it comin' 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
- Is that 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
- 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
- We're gonna rise up time to take a shot
- We're gonna rise up time to take a shot
- We're gonna
- Rise up
- Rise up
- Time to take a shot
- Rise up
- Rise up
- Time to take a shot
- Rise up
- Time to take a shot
- Rise up
- Take a shot
- Shot
- Shot
- A-yo it's
- Time to take a shot
- Time to take a shot
- And I am
- Not throwing away my
- Not throwing away my shot
