Hamilton in 7 Minutes

[00:02.40] How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore and a Scotsman

[00:07.42] Dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot in the Caribbean

[00:11.41] By providence, impoverished, in squalor

[00:13.92] Grow up to be a hero and a scholar (What's your name man?)

[00:16.67] Alexander Hamilton

[00:19.67] My name is Alexander Hamilton

[00:23.42] And there's a million things I haven't done

[00:26.17] But just you wait, just you (Just you wait!)

[00:30.17] I am not throwing away my shot

[00:32.69] I am not throwing away my shot

[00:35.43] Hey yo, I'm just like my country

[00:36.43] I'm young scrappy and hungry

[00:37.94] And I'm not throwing away my shot

[00:40.20] (Eva eva)

[00:41.44] Raise a glass to the four of us (Four of us)

[00:44.45] Tomorrow there'll be more of us (More of us)

[00:47.19] Telling the story of-

[00:49.21] (Work! Work!)

[00:50.20] Angelica!

[00:51.45] (Work! Work!)

[00:52.46] Eliza!

[00:53.45] And Peggy!

[00:54.70] The Schuyler sisters!

[00:56.71] Eliza, I'm looking for a mind at work

[00:59.21] Hey! Hey! Hey! (Yeah!)

[01:02.71] In greatest city, in the greatest city in the world! (In the world!)

[01:08.46] Oceans rise, empires fall!

[01:12.22] We have seen each other through it all

[01:15.72] And when push comes to shove

[01:19.48] I will send a fully armed battalion

[01:22.73] To remind you of my love

[01:24.73] Da da da da da, da da da daya da da da da

[01:30.48] We are out gunned! (What?) Out manned! (What?)

[01:34.23] Out numbered, out planned!

[01:36.98] We gotta make an all out stand!

[01:39.48] And I'm gonna need a right hand man

[01:42.74] Ooo! I do! I do! I do! I do!

[01:47.99] Oh boy you got me helpless (Got me so helpless)

[01:51.74] Look into your eyes and the sky's the limit

[01:54.25] I'm-! (Down for the count and I'm drowning in 'em)

[02:00.25] To your union! (To the union! To the revolution!)

[02:04.00] And the hope that you provide! (You provide, you provide)

[02:07.51] May you always (Always)

[02:11.01] Be satisfied (Satisfied, satisfied)

[02:14.01] Life doesn't discriminate, between the sinners and the saints

[02:17.01] It takes and it take and it takes

[02:19.02] We can live it anyway we rise and fall and we make mistakes

[02:24.02] And if there's a reason I'm still alive, when so many have died

[02:28.52] Then I'm willing to-

[02:29.52] (One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine)

[02:33.27] Wait for it

[02:33.77] Wait for it

[02:34.77] (One, two, three, four, five six, seven, eight, nine)

[02:37.53] Wait for it

[02:38.04] It's a ten duel commandment!

[02:40.53] Ohh, let me be a part of the narrative

[02:44.03] In the story they will write someday

[02:46.53] Let this moment be the first chapter

[02:50.04] When you would decide to stay (stay, stay, stay!)

[02:56.79] And that would be enough!

[02:57.79] (Lafayette!)

[02:58.55] I’m takin this horse by the reins makin’

[02:59.79] Redcoats redder with bloodstains

[03:01.04] (Lafayette!)

[03:01.80] And I’m never gonna stop until I make ‘em

[03:03.05] Drop and burn ‘em up and scatter their remains, I’m

[03:04.55] (Lafayette!)

[03:05.30] Watch me engagin’ em! Escapin’ em!

[03:06.80] Enragin’ em! I’m—

[03:07.81] (Lafayette!)

[03:08.56] I go to France for more funds

[03:09.81] (Lafayette!)

[03:10.31] I come back with more guns

[03:11.55] Alexander Hamilton (And ships)

[03:14.30] I have soldiers on the field for you

[03:17.56] If we manage to get this right (Manage to get this right)

[03:21.07] They'll surrender by early light

[03:23.73] The world will never be the same!

[03:30.73] (The world turned upside down)

[03:33.99] Look around! Isn't this enough?

[03:36.24] He will never be satisfied (Would it be enough?)

[03:38.73] He will never be satisfied, satisfied, satisfied

[03:42.24] (History has its eyes on you!)

[03:46.99] (Look around look around!)

[03:56.32] (Why do you fight like-)

[03:57.06] History has it's eyes on you!

[04:01.44] What did I miss? (Ahhhh)

[04:03.44] Thomas, that was a real nice declaration

[04:05.95] Welcome to the present we're running a real nation

[04:08.45] Would you like to join us, or stay mellow

[04:10.70] Doing what ever the hell it is you do in Monticello!

[04:13.20] Take a break and get away

[04:15.70] Run away with us for the summer

[04:17.45] Let's go and stay where we can stay

[04:20.96] (We can all go stay with our father, if you take a break)

[04:23.70] Look around look around at how lucky we are to be alive right now

[04:28.21] (Close your eyes and dream) We can go when the night gets dark

[04:31.96] (Don't say no)

[04:33.71] No, show me how to say no to this!

[04:35.71] How can I say no to this?

[04:38.47] There is nowhere I can go

[04:40.46] Help!

[04:41.22] When her body’s on mine I don't say- (No!)

[04:44.97] No one else was in the room where it happened

[04:46.47] The room where it happened

[04:47.72] The room where it happened

[04:49.22] (My god) In god we trust, but never really knew what got discussed

[04:54.22] Click boom then it happened

[04:56.72] But no one else was in the room where it happened

[05:00.73] It must be nice, it must be nice

[05:03.49] To have Washington on your side

[05:05.24] (Washington on your, Washington on your side)

[05:12.74] History has its eyes on you!

[05:17.75] (Washington's going home)

[05:19.25] (La da da da da)

[05:20.25] We both know what we know

[05:22.01] (I'll write my way out)

[05:23.00] Alexander Hamilton

[05:25.00] Had a torrid affair

[05:26.75] And he wrote it down right there (Highlights!)

[05:29.76] I know my sister like I know my own mind

[05:32.27] You will never find anyone as trusting or as kind

[05:35.52] I'm erasing myself from the narrative

[05:38.89] Let future historians wonder how Eliza reacted

[05:42.64] Put what we had aside (When you broke her heart)

[05:44.14] I'm standing at her side

[05:45.89] You could never be satisfied

[05:47.15] God I hope you're satisfied (Watching it burn!)

[05:48.89] One, two, three, four, five, six, seven-

[05:55.40] It's quite uptown (Forgiveness)

[06:00.91] Can you imagine? (Forgiveness)

[06:07.91] Can you imagine?

[06:11.91] If you see him in the street

[06:13.91] Walking by her side, talking by her side

[06:16.93] Have pity... They are going through the unimaginable

[06:25.44] (Now I'm the villain in your history)

[06:28.43] (I imagined death so much it feels more like a memory)

[06:30.68] (One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine)

[06:34.94] (This is were it gets me)

[06:37.19] (I should've known)

[06:38.70] (I've gotta throw away my shot)

[06:41.21] (Will they tell your story?)

[06:45.05] Who lives who dies who tells your story
