[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, America sings for you Though they know what you overcame Will they know you rewrote the game? The world will never be the same] Alexander, 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 daht daht da daht da da da dai ya dah da da daht daht dai ya dah x2) I am not throwin’ away my shot I am not throwin’ away my shot Ayo I’m just like my country; I’m young, scrappy, and hungry And I’m not throwin’ 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 lotta 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 excitin’ But Jesus between all the bleedin’ and fightin’ I been readin’ and 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’ ev’ry expectation, ev’ry 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 throwin’ away my shot I am not throwin’ away my shot Ayo I’m just like my country; I’m young, scrappy, and hungry And I’m not throwin’ away my shot I am not throwin’ away my shot I am not throwin’ away my shot Ayo it’s time to take a shot Time to take a shot And I am not throwin’ away my... not throwin’ away my shot You will come of age with our new nation We’ll bleed and fight for you, we’ll make it right for you If we lay a strong enough foundation We’ll pass it on to you, we’ll give the world to you And you’ll blow us all away Someday, someday Yeah you’ll blow us all away [ain’t nobody in the room] I wanna be in the room where it happens 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 room where it happens No one really knows how the game is played The art of the trade, how the sausage gets made We just assume that it happens And no one else is in the room where it happens I saved ev’ry letter you wrote me From the moment I read them I knew you were mine You said you were mine I thought you were mine Oh I can’t wait to see you again It’s only a matter of [Time...
