My Shot (feat. Busta Rhymes, Joell Ortiz & Nate Ruess) - Rise Up Remix

The Hamilton Mixtape
 Woah, woah, woah, woah
 Woah, woah, woah
 Ayo mugshot, gun shot, dope shot, jump shot
 Take your pick, but you only get one shot
 Advice from a schoolteacher to a young tot
 Applyin' a sticker to his Spiderman lunchbox
 When even role models tell us we're born to be felons
 We're never gettin' into Harvard or Carnegie Mellon
 And we gon' end up either robbin' somebody or killin'
 It's not fair that's all they can tell us
 That's why I hustle hella hard, never celebrate a holiday
 That'll be the day I coulda finally hit the lottery
 I refuse to ever lose or throw my shot away
 Or chalk it up as just another one that got away
 So I'm unapologetic, I'm on my calesthenics
 If I have given it all I got I cannot regret it
 My point of destination's different from where I was headed
 'Cause I'ma shoot for the stars to get it
 One shot
 I said I'm not throwin' away my shot
 I said I'm not throwin' away my shot
 Yo I'm just like my country
 I'm young, scrappy, and hungry
 And I'm not throwin' away my shot
 I said I'm not throwin' away my shot
 No I'm not throwin' away my shot
 Yo I'm just like my country
 I'm young, scrappy and hungry
 And I'm not throwin' away my shot
 When opportunity knock, you don't send anyone to get it
 Answer the door, welcome it, let it in, or regret it
 They said if you can't beat 'em you join 'em
 I said, "Forget it"
 'Cause once you join 'em you're buildin' a ceilin' the way you're headed
 Be American, express how you feel and take the credit
 Don't settle for 87, go premium unleaded and
 Take off, shake all the hate off, it's over
 It's they loss, the payoff's their weight off your shoulders
 Must admit, I'm feelin', um, kinda, um
 Lighter as a writer with this fire and desire to go higher
 Than a stealth fighter pilot with my eye on every prize
 I surprise you guys, I'm a prize fighter
 My nine to five describe your scribe, survive minor
 Setbacks and take steps back from pied pipers
 Be leaders, believers in yourself and mean it
 I mean you only get one shot, take it or leave it
 I said I'm not throwin' away my shot
 I said I'm not throwin' away my shot
 Yo I'm just like my country
 I'm young, scrappy and hungry
 And I'm not throwin' away my shot
 I said I'm not throwin' away my shot
 No I'm not throwin' away my shot
 Yo I'm just like my country
 I'm young, scrappy and hungry
 And I'm not throwin' away my shot
 Rise up
 If you livin' on your knees, you rise up
 Tell your brother that he's gotta rise up
 Tell your sister that she's gotta rise up
 When are folks like me and you gonna rise up?
 Every city, every hood, we need to rise up
 All my soldiers, what's good? We need to rise up
 We ain't got no other choice, we need to rise up
 Rise up!
 Throughout my travels and journeys through life I've been searchin'
 And been learnin' to be the type of person
 To display how determined I get when I'm certain
 Inside I feel that fire that's burnin'
 Like a knife that is turnin', I fight while I'm hurtin'
 Sometimes they're right 'cause life is a burden
 Like the pain from a bite that'll worsen
 Tryna stifle the light that'll shine on me first and
 Before I ride in a hearse and
 My breathing stops and
 You'll never take my one shot I got 'fore I lie in the earth
 And now I kill again on that Hamilton Hercules Mulligan
 Readin' in Vanity Fair or the Huffington
 Done with the sufferin', we in the guts again, family rushin' in
 Wonder where Busta been
 Feelin' the hunger and feedin' the lust to win
 See I've been patiently waitin' for this moment
 To rise up again, that's the way I was molded
 And as the last one standin' as the rest of them foldin'
 Give me my one chance to grab the torch and properly hold it
 I said I'm not throwin' away my shot
 I said I'm not throwin' away my shot
 Ayy, yo I'm just like my country
 I'm young, scrappy and hungry
 And I'm not throwin' away my shot
 I said I'm not throwin' away my shot
 No I'm not throwin' away my shot
 Yo I'm just like my country
 I'm young, scrappy and hungry
 And I'm not throwin' away my shot
 I said I'm not throwin' away my shot
 I said I'm not throwin' away my shot
 Ayy, yo I'm just like my country
 I'm young, scrappy and hungry
 And I'm not throwin' away my shot
 I said I'm not throwin' away my shot
 No I'm not throwin' away my shot
 Ayy yo I'm just like my country
 I'm young, scrappy and hungry
 And I'm not throwin' away my shot
 It's time to take a shot
 Woah, woah, woah, woah
 Woah, woah, woah, woah
