The problem is, I got a lotta brains but no polish
I gotta holler just to be heard
With every word, I drop knowledge
I'm a diamond in the rough, a shining piece of coal
Trying to reach my goal

My power of speech unimpeachable
only 19 but my mind is older
these New Yorks City streets gettin' colder, I shoulder
Every burden, every disadvantage
I've learned to manage
I don't have a gun to brandish
I walk these streets famished

The plan is to fan this spark into a flameBut [hey], it's getting dark, so let me spell out the nameI am the A-L-E-X-A-N-DE-R—we are—meant to be,A colony that runs independentlyMeanwhile, Britain keeps [harpin'] on us endlessly-
Essentally, they tax us relentlessly.
While King George turns around, runsa a spendin' spree, we ain't never gonna set our descendents free, so there will be a revolution in this century!
Enter me! (he says in parenteses)

I dream of life without a monarchy
The unrest in France will lead to anarchy
Anarchy – how you say? how – oh, anarchy
When I fight I make the other side panicky
WIth my SHOT

Yo, I'm a tailor's apprentice
And I got y'all knuckleheads in loco parentis
I'm joining the rebellion 'cause I know it's my chance
To socially advance, instead of sewin' some pants
I'm gonna take a shot-
But we'll never be truly free
until those in slavery have the same rights as you and I
do or die
wait 'till I sally in on a stallion with the first black battallion
Have another shot

Geniuses, lower your voices.
Keep outta trouble and you double your choices,
I'm with you- but the situation is fraught
You've got to be carefully taught, if you talk, you're gonna get SHOT!

Burr, check what we got-
Mr. Lafayette, hard rock like lancelot
I think your pants look hot
Laurens I like you a lot
Let's hatch a plot blacker than the kettle callin the pot

A bunch of revolutionary manumission abolitionists
Give me a position, show me where the ammuntion is!
Oh am I talking too loud?
Sometimes I get overexcited, shoot off at the mouth
I never had a group of friends before; I promise I'll make y'all proud!
LET'S GET THIS GUY IN FRONT OF A CROWD!

I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory
When's it gonna get me?
Is it like a beat without a melody?
We have to make this moment last
-
On my feet?
Seven feet ahead of me?
If I see it coming do I run or do I let it be?
Is it like a beat without a melody?
See, I never thought I'd live past twenty,
where I come from some get half as many
-
Ask anybody why we living fast
why we laugh, reach for a flask
we have to make this moment last, that's plenty
scratch that, this is not a moment it's the movement
