0:02British Admiral Howe's got troops on the water
0:08Thirty-two thousand troops in New York harbor
0:15Thirty-two thousand troops in New York harbor
0:22When they surround our troops
0:24They surround our troops
0:25When they surround our troops
0:28As a kid in the Caribbean I wished for a war
0:31I knew that I was poor
0:33I knew it was the only way to
0:35Rise up
0:36If they tell my story
0:37I am either gonna die
0:39On the battlefield in glory or
0:41Rise up
0:42I will fight for this land
0:44But there's only one man
0:45Who can give us a command so we can
0:47Rise up
0:48Understand it's the only way to
0:50Rise up rise up
0:53Here he comes
0:53Here comes the general
0:55Ladies and gentlemen
0:56Here comes the general
0:58The moment you've been waiting for
0:59Here comes the general
1:01The pride of Mount Vernon

1:14Ayo I'm gonna need a right-hand man
1:16Buck buck buck buck buck
1:17Check it
1:18Can I be real a second
1:19For just a millisecond
1:21Let down my guard and
1:22Tell the people how I feel a second
1:24Now I'm the model
1:25Of a modern major general
1:27The venerated Virginian
1:28Veteran whose men are all
1:30Lining up to put me up on a pedestal
1:32Writin' letters to relatives
1:34Embellishin' my elegance and eloquence
1:36But the elephant is in the room
1:38The truth is in ya face when
1:39Ya hear the British cannons go
1:41Boom
1:42Any hope of success is fleeting
1:44How can I keep leading when the people I'm
1:46Leading keep retreating
1:48We put a stop to the bleeding
1:50As the British take Brooklyn
1:52Knight takes rook but look
1:53We are outgunned what
1:55Outmanned what
1:57Outnumbered
1:58Outplanned buck buck buck buck buck
2:00We gotta make an all out stand
2:03Ayo I'm gonna need a right-hand man
2:05Buck buck buck buck buck
2:07Incoming

2:13We gotta stop 'em and rob
2:14'Em of their advantages
2:15Rah

2:17The stamina God has granted us

2:23The blood and the s**t spray and
2:25Boom

2:26We're abandonin' Kips Bay and
2:28Boom
2:28There's another ship and
2:29Boom
2:29We just lost the southern tip and
2:31Boom
2:31We gotta run to Harlem quick
2:32We can't afford another slip
2:34Guns and horses giddyup
2:35I decide to divvy up
2:37My forces they're skittish
2:38As the British cut the city up
2:40This close to giving up
2:41Facing mad scrutiny
2:43I scream in the face of this mass mutiny
2:45Are these the men with
2:46Which I am to defend America
2:49We ride at midnight
2:50Manhattan in the distance
2:51I cannot be everywhere at once people
2:55I'm in dire need of assistance
2:57Your excellency sir
2:59Who are you
2:59Aaron burr sir
3:01Permission to state my case
3:02As you were
3:03Sir
3:04I was a captain under general Montgomery
3:06Until he caught a bullet in the neck in Quebec
3:09And well in summary
3:10I think that I could be of some assistance
3:12I admire how you keep firing on the British
3:15From a distance
3:16Huh
3:16I have some questions
3:18A couple of suggestions on how
3:19To fight instead of fleeing west
3:21Yes
3:22Your excellency you wanted to see me
3:24Hamilton come in have you met burr
3:26Yes sir
3:27We keep meeting
3:28As I was saying sir I look forward
3:30To seeing your strategy play out
3:32Burr
3:32Sir
3:32Close the door on your way out
3:36Have I done something wrong sir
3:38On the contrary
3:39I called you here because
3:40Our odds are beyond scary
3:42Your reputation precedes you
3:44But I have to laugh
3:45Sir
3:45Hamilton how come no one
3:46Can get you on their staff
3:48Sir
3:48Don't get me wrong
3:49You're a young man of great renown
3:51I know you stole British
3:52Cannons when we were still downtown
3:54Nathaniel Green and Henry
3:55Knox wanted to hire you
3:57To be their Secretary
3:58I don't think so
3:59And why're you upset
4:00I'm not
4:01It's alright you want to fight
4:02You've got a hunger

4:11Living is harder

4:21To lighten the load so
4:23I am not throwin' away my shot
4:26I am not throwin' away my shot
