[Intro]
I am not throwing away my shot
I am not throwing away my shot
[Verse one: Chaz]
Ay yo, I'm just like my country
Overweight and undereducated
I've been inundated
On a structure that is antiquated
'til the power's abdicated -
We're royally fucked
And sure enough I show up
And vote once then go nuts
'cause no one can show us
Who goes up against Trump
It's chill with me
If Hillary's on the bill to be
But will we really
See a change in anything?
We've got to
Make America great again
This is the land of the free taste
Home of the braves
That we made walk for days
In rain that their tears made
70 hour work week -
Vacation for a slave
That's why I stay on my grind -
I don't even need to skate
I don't think we need the hate
We're all on the same team
Race, gender, or creed
Man, we all have a dream
I know that I do
Play it backwards - it's a nightmare
Scariest thing about it
Is it starts right here
To go from reginal community theatre
To writing features
Over the biggest Broadway show
Within a year
Hamilton was right
About the come up
And I'm not throwing away my shot -
I've got my gun up
