I am not throwing away my shot!
Hey yo, I’m just like my country,
and I’m not throwing away my shot!
I prob’ly shouldn’t brag, but dag, I amaze and astonish.
The problem is I got a lot of brains but no polish.
With every word, I drop knowledge!
tryin’ to reach my goal. My power of speech: unimpeachable.
These New York City streets get colder, I shoulder
I have learned to manage, I don’t have a gun to brandish,
The plan is to fan this spark into a flame.
But damn, it’s getting dark, so let me spell out the name,
A-l-e-x-a-n-d
A colony that runs independently.
Meanwhile, Britain keeps shittin’ on us endlessly.
then King George turns around, runs a spending spree.
so there will be a revolution in this century.
(He says in parentheses)
Don’t be shocked when your hist’ry book mentions me.
Eventually, you’ll see my ascendancy,
And I am not throwing away my shot.
Hey yo, I’m just like my country,
and I’m not throwing away my shot.
I am not throwing away my shot.
Hey yo, I’m just like my country,
and I’m not throwing away my shot.
I dream of life without a monarchy.
‘Onarchy? How you say, how you say, ‘anarchy?’
With my—
Shot!
Yo, I’m a tailor’s apprentice,
I’m joining the rebellion cuz I know it’s my chance
to socially advance, instead of sewin’ some pants!
Shot!
But we’ll never be truly free
until those in bondage have the same rights as you and me,
on a stallion with the first black battalion
Shot!
Geniuses, lower your voices.
You keep out of trouble and you double your choices.
You’ve got to be carefully taught:
Burr, check what we got.
I think your pants look hot,
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!
Sometimes I get over excited, shoot off at the mouth.
I promise that I’ll make y’all proud.
Let’s get this guy in front of a crowd.
I am not throwing away my shot.
Hey yo, I’m just like my country,
and I’m not throwing away my shot.
I am not throwing away my shot.
I’m young, scrappy and hungry
Ev’rybody sing:
Hey!
Wooh!!
Ay, let ‘em hear ya!
Said, to the rooftops!
When you’re living on your knees, you rise up.
Tell your sister that she's gotta rise up.
When are these colonies gonna rise up?
When are these colonies gonna rise up?
I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory
In my sleep? Seven feet ahead of me?
Is it like a beat without a melody?
Where I come from some get half as many.
Ask anybody why we livin’ fast and we laugh, reach for a flask,
this is not a moment, it’s the movement
something to prove went?
we roll like Moses, claimin’ our promised land.
Is that a guarantee of freedom for our descendants?
cycle of vengeance and death with no defendants?
but Jesus, between all the bleedin’ ‘n fightin’
We need to handle our financial situation.
Are we a nation of states? What’s the state of our nation?
smashin’ every expectation,
I’m laughin’ in the face of casualties and sorrow,
And I am not throwing away my shot.
Hey yo, I’m just like my country,
and I’m not throwing away my shot.
