Lyrics Blow Us All Away (Instrumental) - Original Broadway Cast of Hamilton

Meet the latest graduate of King's College
I probably shouldn't brag, but dag I amaze and astonish
The scholars say I got the same virtuosity and brains as my Pops
The ladies say my brains not there the resemblance stops
I'm only 19 but my mind is older
Gotta be my own man
Like my father but bolder
I shoulder his legacy with pride
I used to hear him say that someday
I would-
Blow us all away
Ladies, I'm looking for a Mr. George Eacker
Made a speech last week, our Fourth of July speaker
He disparaged my father's legacy in front of a crowd
I can't have that, I'm making my father proud
I saw him just out Broadway a couple of blocks,
He was going to see a play
Well I'll go visit his box
God, you're a fox
And y'all look pretty good in your frocks
How bout when I get back we all strip down to our socks?
Okay!
Blow us all away
George-
George!
Shh I'm tryna watch the show!
You should've watched your mouth before you talked about my father though.
I didn't say anything that wasn't true
Your father's a scoundrel, and so it seems are you.
Ooh!
Just like that?
Yeah, I don't fool around
I'm not your little school boy friends-
See you on the dueling ground!
That is, unless you wanna step outside and go now-
I know where to find you, piss off, I'm watching this show now.
Pops if you had only heard the shit he said about you
I doubt you would've let it slide
And I was not about to!
Slow down
I came to ask you for advice
This is my very first duel
They don't exactly cover this subject in boarding school.
Did your friends attempt to negotiate a peace?
He refused to apologize, we had to let the peace-talk cease
Where is this happening?
Across the river in Jersey.
Everything is legal in New Jersey.
Alright,
So this is what you're gonna do
Stand there like a man until Eacker is in front of you
When the time comes, fire your weapon in the air.
This will put an end to the whole affair.
What if he decides to shoot and I'm a goner?
No, he'll follow suit if he's truly a man of honor.
To take someone's life, that is something you can't shake
Philip, your mother can't take another heartbreak
Father-
Promise me. You don't want this young man's blood on your conscience.
Okay, I promise.
Come back home when you're done
Take my guns
Be smart, make me proud son.
My name is Philip, I am a poet
And I'm a little nervous but I can't show it
I'm sorry, I'm a Hamilton with pride
You talk about my father, I cannot let it slide!
Mr. Eacker! How was the rest of your show?
I'd rather skip the pleasantries, let's go
Grab your pistol,
Confirm with your men
The duel will commence after we count to ten-
Count to ten!
Look him in the eye, aim no higher.
Summon all the courage you require
Then slowly and clearly aim your gun towards the sky
