drew on the air - hamilton mashup ('my shot' vs. eminǝm and beastie boys) lyrics
[eminem]
look…
[hamilton]
i am not throwing away my shot!
i am not throwing away my shot!
hey yo, i’m just like my country
i’m young, scr+ppy and hungry
and i’m not throwing away my shot!
[eminem]
his palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
there’s vomit on his sweater already, mom’s spaghetti
he’s nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
to drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting
[hamilton]
i’m a diamond in the rough, a shiny piece of coal
tryin’ to reach my goal. my power of speech: unimpeachable
only nineteen but my mind is older
these new york city streets get colder, i shoulder
[eminem]
snap back to reality, ope there goes gravity, ope
there goes rabbit, he choked, he’s so mad but he won’t
give up that easy, no, he won’t have it, he knows
his whole back’s to these ropes, it don’t matter, he’s dope
he knows that but he’s broke, he’s so stagnant, he knows
when he goes back to this mobile home, that’s when it’s
back to the lab again yo, this old rap sh+t, he
better go capture this moment and hope it (hope it don’t)
enter me!
[lafayette/mulligan/laurens]
(he says in parentheses)
[hamilton]
don’t be shocked when your hist’ry book mentions me
i will lay down my life if it sets us free
eventually, you’ll see my ascendancy
[ad+rock]
well it’s the taking of the pelham 1, 2, 3
if you want a doody rhyme, then come see me
i’ve got the savoir faire with the unique rhymin’
i keep it on and on, it’s never quitting time and
[eminem]
his soul’s escaping through this hole that is gaping
this world is mine for the taking, make me king
as we move toward a new world order
a normal life is boring; but superstardom’s
close to post+mortem, it only grows harder
homie grows hotter, he blows, it’s all over
these hoes is all on him, coast+to+coast shows
he’s known as the globetrotter, lonely roads
god only knows, he’s grown farther from home, he’s no father
he goes home and barely knows his own daughter
but hold your nose, ’cause here goes the cold water
these hoes don’t want him no mo’, he’s cold product
they moved on to the next schmoe who flows
he nose+dove and sold nada, and so the soap opera
is told, it unfolds, i suppose it’s old, partner
but the beat goes on: da+da+dom, da+dom, dah+dah, dah+dah
you better+
[mca, mike d, and ad+rock]
’cause you can’t, you won’t, and you don’t stop
’cause you can’t, you won’t, and you don’t stop
well, you can’t, you won’t, and you don’t stop
[eminem]
you only get+
[billy joel]
one hint, honey
you sure did put on a show
yes, yes, you had to be a big shot
[ad+rock]
on your ass and bust your eardrums
listen everybody cause i’m shifting gears
i’m+
[burr]
+with you, but the situation is fraught
you’ve got to be carefully taught:
if you talk, you’re gonna get shot!
[ad+rock]
i’m that kid in the corner
all f++++d up and i wanna so i’m gonna (yeah)
take a piece of the pie, why not, i’m not quittin’
think i’m+a change up my style just to+
[eminem]
i was playin’ in the beginning, the mood all changed
i’ve been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
but i kept rhymin’ and stepped right in the next cypher
best believe somebody’s payin’ the pied piper
[hamilton]
oh, am i talkin’ too loud?
sometimes i get over excited, shoot off at the mouth
i never had a group of friends before
i promise that i’ll make y’all proud
[laurens]
let’s get this guy in front of a crowd
[eminem]
and these times are so hard, and it’s gettin’ even harder
tryna feed and water my seed, plus t++ter+totter
caught up between bein’ a father and a prima donna
baby mama drama, screamin’ on her, too much for me to wanna
stay in one spot, another day of monotony’s
gotten me to the point i’m like a snail, i’ve got
to formulate a plot or end up in jail or shot
success is my only motherf+ckin’ option—failure’s not
mom, i love you, but this trailer’s got
to go; i cannot grow old in salem’s lot
so here i go, it’s my shot: feet, fail me not
this may be the only opportunity that i got
you better
[ad+rock]
listen everybody cause i’m shifting gears
i’m fresh like dougie when i get my specs
and
[eminem]
get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
this opportunity comes once in a lifetime
[mca]
top notch is my stock on the soapbox
i’ve got more rhymes than i’ve got gray hairs
[eminem]
you only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
[mike d]
i’ve got a hole in my head and there’s no one to fix it
i gotta straighten my thoughts
i’m thinking too much (yeah) sick sh+t
everyone just takes and takes, takes, takes, takes
i’ll have to step back, i gotta contemplate
[ad+rock]
well, i’m like lee perry, i’m very
[hamilton]
i imagine death so much it feels more like a memory
when’s it gonna get me?
in my sleep? seven feet ahead of me?
if i see it comin’, do i run or do i let it be?
is it like a beat without a melody?
see, i never thought i’d live past twenty
where i come from some get half as many
ask anybody why we livin’ fast and we laugh, reach for a flask
we have to make this moment last, that’s plenty
[mca, mike d, and ad+rock]
’cause you can’t, you won’t, and you don’t stop
’cause you can’t, you won’t, and you don’t stop
well, you can’t, you won’t, and you don’t stop
mca, come and rock the sure shot
[lose yourself]
if you had one shot and one moment
would you capture it, or just let it slip?
[sure shot]
mca, come and rock the sure shot
[hamilton]
i know the action in the street is excitin’
but jesus, between all the bleedin’ ‘n fightin’
i’ve been readin’ ‘n writin’
we need to handle our financial situation
are we a nation of states? what’s the state of our nation?
i’m past patiently waitin’
i’m passionately smashin’ every expectation
every action’s an act of creation!
i’m laughin’ in the face of casualties and sorrow
for the first time, i’m thinkin’ past tomorrow
[eminem] (hamilton)
you better lose yourself in the music
the moment, you own it, you better never let it go (woah!)
you only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
this opportunity comes once in a lifetime
you better lose yourself in the music (my shot)
the moment, you own it, you better never let it go (woah!)
you only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
this opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
you better…
[sure shot]
gone and a+rocking the sure shot
[lose yourself]
this opportunity comes once in a lifetime
you better…
(spoken)
you can do anything you put your mind to man
[sure shot]
gone and a+rocking the sure shot
