Your Obedient Servant

Lyrics

How does Hamilton
 An arrogant immigrant, orphan
 Bastard, whoreson
 Somehow endorse Thomas Jefferson, his enemy
 A man he's despised since the beginning
 Just to keep me from winning?
 I wanna be in the room where it happens
 The room where it happens, the room where it happens
 You've kept me from the room where it happens
 For the last time
 ♪
 Dear Alexander
 I am slow to anger
 But I toe the line
 As I reckon with the effects of your life on mine
 I look back on where I failed
 And in every place I checked
 The only common thread has been your disrespect
 Now you call me amoral
 A dangerous disgrace
 If you've got something to say
 Name a time and place, face to face
 I have the honor to be your obedient servant
 A dot Burr
 Mr. Vice President
 I am not the reason no one trusts you
 No one knows what you believe
 I will not equivocate on my opinion
 I have always worn it on my sleeve
 Even if I said what you think I said
 You would need to cite a more specific grievance
 Here's an itemized list of thirty years of disagreements
 Sweet Jesus
 Hey, I have not been shy
 I am just a guy in the public eye
 Trynna do my best for our republic, I don't wanna fight
 But I won't apologize for doing what's right
 I have the honor to be your obedient servant
 A dot Ham
 Careful how you proceed, good man
 Intemperate indeed, good man
 Answer for the accusations I lay at your feet
 Or prepare to bleed, good man
 Burr, your grievance is legitimate
 I stand by what I said, every bit of it
 You stand only for yourself, it's what you do
 I can't apologize because it's true
 Then stand, Alexander
 Weehawken, dawn
 Guns, drawn
 You're on
 I have the honor to be your obedient servant
 A dot Ham
 A dot Burr
