[Lin-Manuel Miranda with background vocal(s), spoken]
After the war I went back to New York
A-After the war I went back to New York
Finished up my studies and I practiced law
I practiced law, Burr worked next door
Even though we started at the very same time
Alexander Hamilton began to climb
How to account for his rise to the top?
Maaaaan, the man is non-stop!
Time is so precious to me that I could not put myself in the way of any interruptions unless for an object of consequence to the public or to myself
Non-stop!
The more I see the more I find reason for those who love this country to weep over its blindness
The inquiry constantly is what will please, not what will benefit the people
Why do you assume you’re the smartest in the room? (Hey!)
Why do you assume you’re the smartest in the room? (Hey!)
Why do you assume you’re the smartest in the room?
Soon that attitude may be your doom! (Awwww!)
Why do you write like you’re running out of time? (Hey!)
Write day and night like you’re running out of time? (Hey!)
Ev’ry day you fight, like you’re running out of time
Keep on fighting. In the meantime—
