British Admiral Howe's got troops on the water
Thirty-two thousand troops in New York harbor
Thirty-two thousand troops in New York harbor
The revolutionaries groaned except for Washington who just rubbed the bridge of his nose. The king smiled, the kind of smile Natalia and Bella is entirely afraid of
When they surround our troops
They surround our troops
When they surround our troops
As a kid in the Caribbean I wished for a war
"I said this before, but you.." Jefferson points at Alexander "Have problems" He continued. "I'm afraid I have to agree" Lafayette said. Alexander just grumbled stuffing chips in his mouth.
I knew that I was poor
"Yea no-" He stopped talking as soon as Washington glared at him.
I knew it was the only way to
Rise up
If they tell my story
I am either gonna die on the battlefield in glory or
"What is it with you and death?" Angelica ask. "Nothing..?" He answered.
Rise up
We will fight for this land
But there's only one man
Who can give us a command so we can
Rise up
Understand? It's the only way to
Rise up
Rise up
The trio cheered as Alexander watched them in amusement.
Here he comes
Here comes the general
Ladies and gentlemen
Here comes the general
The moment you've been
"Is this necessary?" The general said groaning. The rev squad all nodded "apparently...it is" Burr said.
The moment you've been waiting for
Here comes the general
The pride of Mount Vernon
Washington facepalmed surprising everyone except fro the four.
Here comes the general
George Washington
We are outgunned (what?)
Outmanned (what?)
"Can't they hear?" Jefferson said. Madison shook his head
Outnumbered
Outplanned (buck, buck, buck, buck, buck)
We gotta make an all out stand
Ayo, I'm gonna need a right-hand man (buck, buck, buck, buck, buck)
Check it
Can I be real a second?
The king snorted receiving a glare
For just a millisecond?
Let down my guard and tell the people how I feel a second
"No one cares!!" The king said they wanted to smack him but can't so Bella did it for them. "hOW DARE YOU!?" He yelled, Bella just ignored him in favor of continuing to braid Peggy's Hair
Now I'm the model of a modern major general
The venerated Virginian veteran whose men are all
Lining up, to put me up on a pedestal
Writin' letters to relatives
Embellishin' my elegance and eloquence
But the elephant is in the room
The truth is in ya face when ya hear the British cannons go
Boom
The king clapped his hands with glee, in which the general groaned. The revolutionaries especially Hamilton flinched
Any hope of success is fleeting
How can I keep leading when the people I'm
Leading keep retreating?
We put a stop to the bleeding as the British take Brooklyn
Knight takes rook, but look
We are outgunned (what?)
Outmanned (what?)
Outnumbered
Outplanned (buck, buck, buck, buck, buck)
We gotta make an all out stand
Ayo, I'm gonna need a right-hand man (buck, buck, buck, buck, buck)
Peggy giggled "buck buck", "oh! Who is it?" Alexander asked looking up at Washington as his friends and the sisters facepalmed. "What?" He looks at them.
Incoming
They're battering down the Battery check the damages
Rah
"Rah?" Angelica asked.
We gotta stop 'em and rob 'em of their advantages
Rah
Let's take a stand with the stamina God has granted us
Hamilton won't abandon ship
Yo, let's steal their cannons
"Wow...you're going...what does Miss Bella call it? Third person? Yea that" Lafayette said. "And please tell me you didn't actually stole canons" Eliza said. "Apparently, He did" Washington replied as Alexander giggled while Herc pats him.
Shh-boom
Another flinch
Goes the cannon, watch the blood and the shit spray and
Boom
Another
Goes the cannon, we're abandonin' Kips Bay and
Boom
And another
There's another ship and
Boom
We just lost the southern tip and
Boom
They flinched in every single boom while Jefferson looks at them wondering why they're flinching. 'The war wasn't that bad...isn't, it?' He thought.
We gotta run to Harlem quick, we can't afford another slip
Guns and horses giddyup
I decide to divvy up
My forces, they're skittish as the British cut the city up
This close to giving up, facing mad scrutiny
I scream in the face of this mass mutiny
"Who ever wrote this is really smart" Madison said.
Are these the men with which I am to defend America?
We ride at midnight, Manhattan in the distance
I cannot be everywhere at once, people
I'm in dire need of assistance
Alexander bounced on his seat excitedly, 'Just like a puppy' the others thought.
Your excellency, sir
Who are you?
"Poor man doesn't even know you" Jefferson said laughing until he got smacked by Madison. Which honestly surprised him
Aaron Burr, Sir?
Permission to state my case?
As you were
"Why does he sound so uninterested" Angelica said raising a brow.
Sir
I was a captain under General Montgomery
Until he caught a bullet in the neck in Quebec
"That outta hurt" Peggy said
And well, in summary
I think that I could be of some assistance
I admire how you keep firing on the British
From a distance
Huh
"He definitely sound uninterested" Angelica said.
Aaron just groaned
I have some questions, a couple of suggestions on how to fight instead of fleeing west
Yes?
Well
Your excellency, you wanted to see me?
"ugh..he's also there" Jefferson said groaning as John tries to calm Alexander down
Hamilton, come in, have you met Burr?
Yes, sir
We keep meeting
Both Alexander and Aaron glanced at each other while Washington rubbed the bridge of his nose.
As I was saying, sir, I look forward to seeing your strategy play out
Burr?
Sir?
Close the door on your way out
"Wow, sir that was cold" John said. "Yea, sorry about that Aaron" Washington said as Aaron nodded.
Have I done something wrong, sir?
"You sound like a kid in trouble" Aaron said. "Eh.." Alexander just shrugged.
On the contrary
I called you here because our odds are beyond scary
Your reputation precedes you, but I have to laugh
Sir?
Hamilton, how come no one can get you on their staff?
Sir
"You sound so offended" Jefferson mused as Alexander glared.
Don't get me wrong, you're a young man, of great renown
I know you stole British cannons when we were still downtown
Nathaniel Green and Henry Knox wanted to hire you
To be their Secretary? I don't think so
"You sound so upset" Peggy said. "No I'm not" Alexander said crossing his arms
Why're you upset?
I'm not
"Lies!!" Jefferson and Alexander's friends yelled
It's alright, you want to fight, you've got a hunger
I was just like you when I was younger
Head full of fantasies of dyin' like a martyr?
Yes
Dying is easy, young man
Living is harder
"FACTS!" Hanzel suddenly yelled
Why are you telling me this?
I'm being honest
I'm working with a third of what our Congress has promised
We are a powder keg about to explode
I need someone like you to lighten the load
So?
I am not throwin' away my shot
I am not throwin' away my shot
Ayo, I'm just like my country, I'm young
Scrappy and hungry
Aaron groaned "Not this again..."
I am not throwing away my shot
Son
We are outgunned, outmanned
You need all the help you can get
I have some friends, Laurens, Mulligan
Marquis de Lafayette, okay, what else?
"Aww~ he has friends~" Angelica said, making Alexander slightly pout in which John found cute. Hanzel gave him the look
Outnumbered, outplanned
We'll need some spies on the inside
Some King's men who might let some things slide
"HOW DARE" the King said now annoyed gritting his teeth.
I'll write to Congress and tell 'em we need supplies
You rally the guys, master the element of surprise
I'll rise above my station, organize your information
'Til we rise to the occasion of our new nation, sir
"Whoa mon ami, slow down" Lafayette said.
Here comes the general
Rise up
Here comes the general
Rise up
Here comes the general
Rise up
Here comes the general
And his right hand man
Boom
Everyone clapped except the king. "Haha!! Nice!" The two sets of siblings said while the rev set (+ Burr) cheered
