[00:01.29] British Admiral Howe's got troops on the water

[00:08.02] Thirty-two thousand troops in New York harbor

[00:14.75] Thirty-two thousand troops in New York harbor

[00:21.75] When they surround our troops

[00:23.76] They surround our troops

[00:25.28] When they surround our troops

[00:28.00] As a kid in the Caribbean I wished for a war

[00:31.00] I knew that I was poor

[00:32.50] I knew it was the only way to

[00:34.53] Rise up

[00:35.75] If they tell my story

[00:37.52] I am either gonna die on the battlefield in glory or

[00:40.26] Rise up

[00:42.03] We will fight for this land

[00:43.78] But there's only one man

[00:45.50] Who can give us a command so we can

[00:47.26] Rise up

[00:48.25] Understand? It's the only way to

[00:50.27] Rise up

[00:51.26] Rise up

[00:52.31] Here he comes

[00:53.26] Here comes the general

[00:54.50] Ladies and gentlemen

[00:56.26] Here comes the general

[00:57.77] The moment you've been waiting for

[00:59.28] Here comes the general

[01:00.75] The pride of Mount Vernon

[01:02.27] Here comes the general

[01:03.56] George Washington

[01:04.81] We are outgunned (what?)

[01:06.58] Outmanned (what?)

[01:09.10] Outnumbered

[01:09.86] Outplanned (buck, buck, buck, buck, buck)

[01:11.60] We gotta make an all out stand

[01:14.14] Ayo, I'm gonna need a right-hand man (buck, buck, buck, buck, buck)

[01:17.34] Check it

[01:18.60] Can I be real a second?

[01:19.35] For just a millisecond?

[01:20.60] Let down my guard and tell the people how I feel a second?

[01:23.59] Now I'm the model of a modern major general

[01:26.62] The venerated Virginian veteran whose men are all

[01:29.94] Lining up, to put me up on a pedestal

[01:31.71] Writin' letters to relatives

[01:33.46] Embellishin' my elegance and eloquence

[01:35.45] But the elephant is in the room

[01:37.96] The truth is in ya face when ya hear the British cannons go

[01:40.99] Boom

[01:41.96] Any hope of success is fleeting

[01:44.46] How can I keep leading when the people I'm

[01:46.23] Leading keep retreating?

[01:47.74] We put a stop to the bleeding as the British take Brooklyn

[01:51.78] Knight takes rook, but look

[01:53.25] We are outgunned (what?)

[01:55.24] Outmanned (what?)

[01:56.47] Outnumbered

[01:58.75] Outplanned (buck, buck, buck, buck, buck)

[02:00.30] We gotta make an all out stand

[02:02.50] Ayo, I'm gonna need a right-hand man (buck, buck, buck, buck, buck)

[02:06.23] Incoming

[02:09.49] They're battering down the Battery check the damages Rah

[02:12.76] We gotta stop 'em and rob 'em of their advantages Rah

[02:15.30] Let's take a stand with the stamina God has granted us

[02:18.28] Hamilton won't abandon ship

[02:19.78] Yo, let's steal their cannons

[02:21.28] Shh-boom

[02:22.29] Goes the cannon, watch the blood and the shit spray and

[02:24.03] Boom

[02:25.78] Goes the cannon, we're abandonin' Kips Bay and

[02:27.05] Boom

[02:28.27] There's another ship and

[02:28.82] Boom

[02:30.08] We just lost the southern tip and

[02:30.79] Boom

[02:31.26] We gotta run to Harlem quick, we can't afford another slip

[02:33.57] Guns and horses giddyup

[02:35.02] I decide to divvy up

[02:36.54] My forces, they're skittish as the British cut the city up

[02:39.84] This close to giving up, facing mad scrutiny

[02:42.80] I scream in the face of this mass mutiny

[02:44.80] Are these the men with which I am to defend America?

[02:48.56] We ride at midnight, Manhattan in the distance

[02:51.55] I cannot be everywhere at once, people

[02:54.35] I'm in dire need of assistance

[02:57.42] Your excellency, sir

[02:58.67] Who are you?

[02:59.23] Aaron Burr, Sir?

[03:00.45] Permission to state my case?

[03:02.45] As you were

[03:03.22] Sir

[03:03.96] I was a captain under General Montgomery

[03:05.96] Until he caught a bullet in the neck in Quebec

[03:08.70] And well, in summary

[03:09.97] I think that I could be of some assistance

[03:11.95] I admire how you keep firing on the British

[03:14.25] From a distance

[03:16.25] Huh

[03:16.50] I have some questions, a couple of suggestions on how to fight instead of fleeing west

[03:20.72] Yes?

[03:21.99] Well

[03:22.26] Your excellency, you wanted to see me?

[03:24.48] Hamilton, come in, have you met Burr?

[03:26.24] Yes, sir

[03:27.00] We keep meeting

[03:28.24] As I was saying, sir, I look forward to seeing your strategy play out

[03:31.50] Burr?

[03:32.49] Sir?

[03:33.00] Close the door on your way out

[03:35.75] Have I done something wrong, sir?

[03:37.50] On the contrary

[03:38.75] I called you here because our odds are beyond scary

[03:41.50] Your reputation precedes you, but I have to laugh

[03:44.25] Sir?

[03:45.26] Hamilton, how come no one can get you on their staff?

[03:47.51] Sir

[03:48.24] Don't get me wrong, you're a young man, of great renown

[03:50.78] I know you stole British cannons when we were still downtown

[03:54.00] Nathaniel Green and Henry Knox wanted to hire you

[03:56.00] To be their Secretary? I don't think so

[03:58.75] Why're you upset?

[04:00.07] I'm not

[04:01.28] It's alright, you want to fight, you've got a hunger

[04:03.25] I was just like you when I was younger

[04:04.99] Head full of fantasies of dyin' like a martyr?

[04:08.50] Yes

[04:09.52] Dying is easy, young man

[04:10.26] Living is harder

[04:11.75] Why are you telling me this?

[04:13.27] I'm being honest

[04:14.50] I'm working with a third of what our Congress has promised

[04:17.25] We are a powder keg about to explode

[04:20.04] I need someone like you to lighten the load

[04:22.24] So?

[04:23.25] I am not throwin' away my shot

[04:26.02] I am not throwin' away my shot

[04:28.99] Ayo, I'm just like my country, I'm young

[04:31.02] Scrappy and hungry

[04:32.25] I am not throwing away my shot

[04:34.53] Son

[04:35.31] We are outgunned, outmanned

[04:37.05] You need all the help you can get

[04:38.55] I have some friends, Laurens, Mulligan

[04:40.31] Marquis de Lafayette, okay, what else?

[04:42.06] Outnumbered, outplanned

[04:43.81] We'll need some spies on the inside

[04:45.33] Some King's men who might let some things slide

[04:47.56] I'll write to Congress and tell 'em we need supplies

[04:50.31] You rally the guys, master the element of surprise

[04:53.32] I'll rise above my station, organize your information

[04:56.56] 'Til we rise to the occasion of our new nation, sir

[04:59.81] Here comes the general

[05:01.05] Rise up

[05:02.31] Here comes the general

[05:04.07] Rise up

[05:05.34] Here comes the general

[05:07.05] Rise up

[05:08.31] Here comes the general

[05:12.06] And his right hand man

[05:15.56] Boom
