Lee, do you yield?
You shot him in the side
Yes, he yields
I'm satisfied
Yo, we gotta clear the field
Go
We won
Here comes the general
This should be fun
What is the meaning of this?
Mr. Burr, get a medic for the general
Yes, sir
Lee, you will never agree with me
But believe me, these young men don't speak for me
Thank you for your service
Let's ride
Hamilton
Sir
Meet me inside
Meet him inside
Meet him inside
Meet him inside, meet him, meet him inside
Son
Don't call me son
This war is hard enough
Without infighting
Lee called you out
We called his bluff
You solve nothing, you aggravate our allies to the south
You're absolutely right, John should have shot him in the mouth
That would've shut him up
Son
I'm notcha son
Watch your tone
I am not a maiden in need of defending, I am grown
Charles Lee, Thomas Conway
These men take your name and they rake it
Through the mud
My name's been through a lot, I can take it
Well, I don't have your name
I don't have your titles
I don't have your land
But, if you
No
If you gave me command of a battalion, a group of men to lead
I could fly above my station after the war
Or you could die and we need you alive
I'm more than willing to die
Your wife needs you alive, son, I need you alive
Call me son one more time
Go home, Alexander
That's an order from your commander
Sir
Go home

Look around, look around at how lucky we are
To be alive right now
Look around, look around
How long have you known?
A month or so
Eliza, you should have told me
I wrote to the General a month ago, no
I begged him to send you home
You should have told me
I'm not sorry
I knew you'd fight until the war was won (the war's not done)
But you deserve a chance to meet your son
Look around, look around
At how lucky we are to be alive right now
Will you relish being a poor man's wife
Unable to provide for your life?
I relish being your wife
Look around, look around
Look at where you are
Look at where you started
The fact that you're alive is a miracle
Just stay alive, that would be enough
And if this child
Shares a fraction of your smile
Or a fragment of your mind
Look out world
That would be enough
I don't pretend to know
The challenges you're facing
The worlds you keep erasing and creating in your mind
But I'm not afraid
I know who I married
So long as you come home at the end of the day
That would be enough
We don't need a legacy
We don't need money
If I could grant you peace of mind
If you could let me inside your heart
Oh, let me be a part of the narrative
In the story, they will write someday
Let this moment be the first chapter
Where you decide to stay

How does a ragtag volunteer army in need of a shower
Somehow defeat a global superpower?
How do we emerge victorious from the quagmire?
Leave the battlefield waving Betsy Ross' flag higher?
Yo, turns out we have a secret weapon
An immigrant, you know and love, who's unafraid to step in
He's constantly confusin', confoundin' the British henchmen
Ev'ryone give it up for America's favorite fighting Frenchman
Lafayette!
I'm takin' this horse by the reins makin'
Redcoats redder with bloodstains
Lafayette!
And I'm never gonna stop until I make 'em
Drop and burn 'em up and scatter their remains, I'm
Lafayette!
Watch me engagin' em! Escapin' em!
Enragin' em! I'm-
Lafayette!
I go to France for more funds
Lafayette!
I come back with more guns
And ships
And so the balance shifts
We rendezvous with Rochambeau, consolidate their gifts
We can end this war at Yorktown, cut them off at sea, but
For this to succeed, there is someone else we need
I know
Hamilton!
Sir, he knows what to do in a trench
Ingenuitive and fluent in French, I mean-
Hamilton!
Sir, you're gonna have to use him eventually
What's he gonna do on the bench ami?
Hamilton!
No one has more resilience
Or matches my practical tactical brilliance
Hamilton!
You wanna fight for your land back?
Hamilton!
I need my right-hand man back!
Ah! Uh, get ya right-hand man, back
You know you gotta get ya right-hand man back
I mean you gotta put some thought
Into the letter but the sooner the better
To get your right-hand man back
Alexander Hamilton
Troops are waiting in the field for you
If you join us right now, together we can turn the tide
Oh, Alexander Hamilton
I have soldiers that will yield for you
If we manage to get this right
They'll surrender by early light
The world will never be the same, Alexander

The battle of Yorktown, 1781
Monsieur Hamilton
Monsieur Lafayette
In command where you belong
How you say, no sweat
Finally on the field, we've had quite a run
Immigrants, we get the job done
So what happens if we win?
I go back to France
I bring freedom to my people
If I'm given the chance
We'll be with you when you do
Go lead your men
I see you on the other side
'Til we meet again, let's go!
I am not throwin' away my shot!
I am not throwin' away my shot!
Hey yo, I'm just like my country
I'm young scrappy and hungry
And I'm not throwin' away my shot!
I am not throwin' away my shot!
'Til the world turns upside down
'Til the world turns upside down!
I imagine death so much, it feels more like a memory
This is where it gets me, on my feet the enemy ahead of me
If this is the end of me, at least I have a friend with me
Weapon in my hand, a command, and my men with me
Then I remember my Eliza's expecting me
Not only that, my Eliza's expecting
We gotta go, gotta get the job done
Gotta start a new nation, gotta meet my son!
Take the bullets out your gun! (What?)
The bullets out your gun! (What?)
We move undercover and we move as one
Through the night, we have one shot to live
Another day
We cannot let a stray gunshot give us away
We will fight up close, seize the moment and stay in it
It's either that or meet the business end of a bayonet
The code word is "Rochambeau", dig me? (Rochambeau!)
You have your orders now, go, man, go!
And so the American experiment begins
With my friends all scattered to the winds
Laurens is in South Carolina, redefining bravery
We'll never be free until we end slavery!
When we finally drive the British away
Lafayette is there waiting in Chesapeake Bay!
How did we know that this plan would work?
We had a spy on the inside, that's right
Hercules Mulligan!
A tailor spyin' on the British government!
I take their measurements, information and then I smuggle it! (Up)
To my brother's revolutionary covenant
I'm runnin' with the Sons of Liberty and I am lovin' it!
See, that's what happens when you up against the ruffians
We in the shit now, somebody gotta shovel it!
Hercules Mulligan, I need no introduction
When you knock me down I get the fuck back up again!
Left! Right! Hold!
Go!
What! What! What!
After a week of fighting, a young man in a red coat stands on a parapet
We lower our guns as he frantically waves a white handkerchief
And just like that, it's over, we tend to our wounded, we count our dead
Black and white soldiers wonder alike if this really means freedom
Not yet
We negotiate the terms of surrender
I see George Washington smile
We escort their men out of Yorktown
They stagger home single file
Tens of thousands of people flood the streets
There are screams and church bells ringing
And as our fallen foes retreat
I hear the drinking song they're singing
The world turned upside down
The world turned upside down
The world turned upside down
The world turned upside down
Down, down, down, down
Freedom for America, freedom for France!
Down, down, down
Gotta start a new nation, gotta meet my son
Down, down, down
We won!
We won!
We won!
We won!
The world turned upside down!

You skipped so many songs foxx
