I am not throwing away my shot

I am not throwing away my shot

Hey yo I'm just like my country

I'm young scrappy and hungry

And I'm not throwing away my shot

I'ma get a scholarship to King's College

I probably shouldn't brag but dag I amaze and astonish

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 shiny piece of coal

Tryin' to reach my goal

My power of speech unimpeachable

Only nineteen but my mind is older

These New York City streets get colder

I shoulder every burden every disadvantage

I have 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 flame

But damn it's getting dark so let me spell out the name

I am the A-L-E-X-A-N-D-E-R

We are meant to be

A colony that runs independently

Meanwhile Britain keeps ******* on us endlessly

Essentially they tax us relentlessly

Then King George turns around runs a spending spree

He ain't ever gonna set his descendants free

So there will be a revolution in this century

Enter me

He says in parentheses

Don't be shocked when your history book mentions me

I will lay down my life if it sets us free

Eventually you'll see my ascendancy

And I am not throwing away my shot

My shot

I am not throwing away my shot

My shot

Hey yo I'm just like my country

I'm young scrappy and hungry

And I'm not throwing away my shot

I am not throwing away my shot

I am not throwing away my shot

Hey yo I'm just like my country

I'm young scrappy and hungry

And I'm not throwing away my shot

It's time to take a shot

I dream of life without a monarchy

The unrest in France will lead to anarchy

Anarchy?

How you say how you 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
