文本歌词

I am not throwing away my shot!
I am not throwing away my shot！
I'm just like my country
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!
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 （my shot）
I am not throwing away My shot （my shot）
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
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 'onarchy？
‘Onarchy? How you say, how you say, ‘anarchy?’
When I fight， I make the other side panicky
With my—Shot!
I'm a tailor's apprentice
And I got y'all knuckleheads in loco parentis
I'm joining the rebellion ' cause 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
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
Ohh， I do I do I do I
Hey hey hey hey
Dooo！ Boy you got me
Hey hey hey hey
Helpless!
Look into your eyes, and the sky’s the limit I’m helpless!
Down for the count， and I'm drownin' in 'em
I have never been the type to try and grab the spotlight
We were at a revel with some rebels on a hot night
Laughin' at my sister as she's dazzling the room
Then you walked in and my heart went “Boom！”
Tryin' to catch your eye from the side of the ballroom
Everybody's dancin' and the band's top volume
Grind to the rhythm as we wine and dine
Grab my sister, and whisper, “Yo, this one’s mine.” (Ooh)
My sister made her way across the room to you （Ooh）
And I got nervous， thinking “What's she gonna do？” (Ooh)
She grabbed you by the arm， I'm thinkin' “I'm through” （Ooh）
Then you look back at me and suddenly I'm Helpless!
Oh， look at those eyes
Look into your eyes
And the sky's the limit
Oh!
I'm helpless
Yeah， I'm helpless， I know
Down for the count and I'm drownin' in 'em
I'm helpless
I'm so into you
Look into your eyes
I am so into you
And the sky's the limit， I'm helpless
I know I'm down for the count and I'm drownin' in 'em
Down for the count and I'm drownin' in 'em
Where are you taking me?
I’m about to change your life
Then by all means, lead the way
Elizabeth Schuyler. It’s a pleasure to meet you
Schuyler?
My sister
Thank you for all your service
If it takes fighting a war for us to meet, it will have been worth it
I’ll leave you to it
One week later
I’m writin’ a letter nightly
Now my life gets better, every letter that you write me
Laughin’ at my sister, cuz she wants to form a harem
I’m just sayin’, if you really loved me, you would share him
Ha!
Two weeks later in the living room stressin' （stressin'）
My father's stone-faced while you're asking for his blessin' （blessin'）
I'm dying inside， as you wine and dine
And I'm tryin' not to cry 'cause there's nothing that your mind can't do （ Ooh）
My father makes his way across the room to you
I panic for a second， thinking “we're through“ （Ooh）
But then he shakes your hand and says ”Be true“ （Ooh）
And you turn back to me， smiling， and I'm Helpless！ (Helpless!)
Look into your eyes and the sky's the limit
I'm helpless
Helpless
Down for the count and I’m drownin’ in ’em (hoo!)
That boy is mine， that boy is mine
Look into your eyes and the sky's the limit
I'm helpless
Helpless， helpless
Down for the count and I'm drownin' in 'em
Down for the count and I'm drownin' in 'em
Eliza， I don't have a dollar to my name
An acre of land， a troop to command， a dollop of fame
All I have's my honor， a tolerance for pain
A couple of college credits and my top-notch brain
Insane， your family brings out a different side of me
Peggy confides in me， Angelica tried to take a bite of me
No stress， my love for you is never in doubt
We'll get a little place in Harlem and we'll figure it out
I've been livin' without a family since I was a child
My father left， my mother died， I grew up buckwild
But I'll never forget my mother's face， that was real
And long as I'm alive， Eliza， swear to
You'll never feel so....
Helpless!
I do, I do, I do, I do!
Eliza Helpless!
I do, I do, I do, I do!
I've never felt so—
Helpless！
Hey, yeah, yeah!
Down for the count and I'm drownin' in 'em
I'm down for the count， I'm—
Helpless!
My life is gon' be fine 'cause Eliza's in it
Helpless！
I look into your eyes and the sky's the limit， I'm—
Helpless！
Down for the count and I'm drownin' in 'em
... drownin’ in ’em
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...
Helpless
Alright, alright. That’s what I’m talkin’ about!
Now everyone give it up for the maid of honor
Angelica Schuyler！
A toast to the groom!
To the groom!
To the bride!
From your sister
Who is always by your side
By your side！
To your union
And the hope that you provide
May you always... (Always)
Be satisfied （Rewind）
I remember that night， I just might
Regret that night for the rest of my days
I remember those soldier boys
Tripping over themselves to win our praise
I remember that dreamlike candlelight
Like a dream that you can't quite place
But Alexander， I'll never forget the first Time I saw your face
I have never been the same
Intelligent eyes in a hunger-pang frame
And when you said “Hi，” I forgot my dang
Set my heart aflame， ev'ry part aflame
This is not a game...
You strike me as a woman who has never been satisfied
I’m sure I don’t know what you mean. You forget yourself
You’re like me. I’m never satisfied
Is that right?
I have never been satisfied
My name is Angelica Schuyler
Alexander Hamilton
Where’s your fam’ly from?
Unimportant. There's a million things I haven't done but
Just you wait， just you wait...
So so so—
So this is what it feels like to match wits
With someone at your level！ What the hell is the catch? It's
The feeling of freedom， of seein' the light
It's Ben Franklin with a key and a kite！
You see it, right?
The conversation lasted two minutes， maybe three minutes
Ev'rything we said in total agreement， it's
A dream and it's a bit of a dance
A bit of a posture， it's a bit of a stance.
He's a Bit of a flirt， but I'm 'a give it a chance
I asked about his fam'ly， did you see his answer？
His hands started fidgeting, he looked askance?
He's penniless， he's flying by the seat of his pants
Handsome, boy, does he know it!
Peach fuzz, and he can’t even grow it!
I wanna take him far away from this place
Then I turn and see my sister's face and she is...
Helpless...
And I know she is...
Helpless...
And her eyes are just...
Helpless...
And I realize Three fundamental truths at the exact same time...
Where are you taking me?
I'm about to change your life
Then by all means， lead the way
Number one!
I'm a girl in a world in which
My only job is to marry rich
