[00:02.99] How does a ragtag volunteer army in need of a shower
[00:07.21] Somehow defeat a global superpower?
[00:10.19] How do we emerge victorious from the quagmire?
[00:13.71] Leave the battlefield waving Betsy Ross' flag higher?
[00:17.21] Yo
[00:18.47] Turns out we have a secret weapon
[00:20.46] An immigrant you know and love who's unafraid to step in
[00:23.71] He's constantly confusin', confoundin' the British henchmen
[00:27.46] Ev'ryone give it up for America's favorite fighting Frenchman
[00:30.97] Lafayette
[00:31.71] I'm takin this horse by the reins makin'
[00:32.97] Redcoats redder with bloodstains
[00:34.71] Lafayette
[00:35.45] And I'm never gonna stop until I make 'em
[00:36.52] Drop and burn 'em up and scatter their remains, I'm
[00:37.76] Lafayette
[00:39.02] Watch me engagin' em, escapin' em
[00:40.54] Enragin' em
[00:41.26] I'm
[00:41.80] Lafayette
[00:42.80] I go to France for more funds
[00:43.35] Lafayette
[00:44.11] I come back with more
[00:44.70] Guns
[00:45.67] And ships
[00:46.70] And so the balance shifts
[00:48.43] We rendezvous with Rochambeau, consolidate their gifts
[00:51.45] We can end this war at Yorktown, cut them off at sea, but
[00:55.45] For this to succeed, there's someone else we need
[00:58.44] I know
[00:58.91] Hamilton
[00:59.42] Sir, he knows what to do in a trench
[01:00.68] Ingenuitive and fluent in French, I mean
[01:01.93] Hamilton
[01:02.93] Sir, you're gonna have to use him eventually
[01:04.49] What's he gonna do on the bench?
[01:05.75] I mean
[01:06.25] Hamilton
[01:07.00] No one has more resilience
[01:08.08] Or matches my practical tactical brilliance
[01:09.08] Hamilton
[01:10.06] You wanna fight for your land back? (Hamilton)
[01:11.33] I need my right hand man back (Hamilton)
[01:12.83] Ah, uh, get ya right hand man back (Hamilton)
[01:14.82] You know you gotta get ya right hand man back (Hamilton)
[01:16.31] I mean you gotta put some thought into the letter but the sooner the better
[01:18.58] To get your right hand man back
[01:20.09] Alexander Hamilton
[01:22.09] Troops are waiting in the field for you
[01:26.58] If you join us right now, together we can turn the tide
[01:33.32] Oh, Alexander Hamilton
[01:37.08] I have soldiers who will yield for you
[01:40.33] If we manage to get this right
[01:44.33] They'll surrender by early light
[01:47.56] The world will never be the same, Alexander
