13 Iconic Lyrics From 'Hamilton'
Hamilton

I think we can all agree that Michelle Obama's quote about Hamilton: “It was simply, as I tell everybody, the best piece of art in any form that I have ever seen in my life" is absolutely true. I absolutely love this musical, even though I've only listened to the album (because I'm way too poor to fly myself to NYC to see it). I've made a list of what I think are some of the best lyrics from Hamilton.

1. Aaron Burr, Sir

"He looked at me like I was stupid, I'm not stupid."

Honestly, same, though.


2. Farmer Refuted

"Don't modulate the key then not debate with me."

Eheheh. Music theory humor.


3. You'll Be Back

"I will send a fully armed battalion to remind you of my love."

King George III is so relatable.


4. Right Hand Man

"Burr?"

"Sir?"

"Close the door on your way out."

get FUCKED, Burr.


5. Helpless

"If it takes fighting a war for us to meet, it will have been worth it."

Well, damn, son. If that ain't smooth as fuck.


6. The Story of Tonight Reprise

"Oh, shit..."

My entire life's monologue is just this.


7. Wait For It

"I am the one thing in life I can control. I am inimitable, I am an original"

Ugh, yes. Yes yes yes. I absolutely love this song.


8. Yorktown

"Immigrants: we get the job done."

Roll credits.


9. What Comes Next?

"Awesome. Wow."

Once again, King George III is all of us.


10. Cabinet Battle #1

"'We plant seeds in the South, we create.'
Yeah, keep ranting, we know who’s really doing the planting."

get FUCKED, Jefferson.


11. Blow Us All Away

"Everything is legal in New Jersey...."

New Jersey jokes will never not be funny.


12. The Election of 1800

"I have never agreed with Jefferson once

We have fought on like seventy-five different fronts

But when all is said and all is done—

Jefferson has beliefs. Burr has none."

get FUCKED, Burr pt 2.


13. Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story

"The Lord, in his kindness,

He gives me what you always wanted

He gives me more time"

*starts sobbing*


Originally I had a ton of lyrics, but since it amounted to basically the entire musical, I had to cut some out. Let records show, though, that this musical is incredibly beautiful and kills me every time I listen to it.

Hope everyone has a happy holidays, and if you haven't listened to Hamilton yet, what are you waiting for?

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
