We are not throwing away our shot!
We are not throwing away our shot!
Hell yeah, We’re just like this country
We’re young, scrappy, and hungry.
And We’re not throwing away our shot!
Well ain’t half a us gone to college
None of us can brag but damn! We raisin’ a ruckus!
The problem is we got like no brains, zero polish
We gotta die just to be heard
With every murd’r we dropin’ honest
No diamonds in the rough, we losing’ all control
Tryna reach our goal. Our power, our speech: unimpeachable
18, nineteen but our souls are older
These damn city streets getting colder we shoulder
Every burden, every disadvantage
We have learned to manage, some got a gun to brandish
Walkin’ the streets famished
[Jerome]
Preach!
[Grace]
The plan is to fan a spark into a flame
But damn it’s real dark, let me spell out our game
We are the
[Grace, Jerome, Montagrie, Louis]
R-E-V-O-L-U-T-I-O-N
We are meant to be
[Grace]
A planet that runs independently
Meanwhile the seppies are shootin’ us up endlessly
Essentially, the kill us relentlessly
And count dooku turns around runs a killing spree.
He ain’t ever gonna set the dependents free
So there will be a revolution in this century
Enter me!
[Jerome, Montagrie, Louis]
(She says in parentheses)
[Grace]
I’d be shocked if a history book mentions me
But we’ll lay down our lives if it sets us free
Eventually, we’ll forge our own legacy
[Grace (Jerome)]
We are not throwing away our shot!
(Our shot!)
We are not throwing away our shot!
(Our shot!)
Hell yeah, We’re just like this country
We’re young, scrappy, and hungry.
And We’re not throwing away our shot!
(Never throwin’ away our shot!)
[Grace, Jerome, Montagrie, Louis]
We are not throwing away our shot!
We are not throwing away our shot!
Hell yeah, We’re just like this country
We’re young, scrappy, and hungry.
And We’re not throwing away our shot!
[add Sage]It’s time we took a shot!
[Sa ge]
Apparently I’m something’ special ya see
Somethin’ in ma blood n’ the force flowin’ through me
Midi… Midi, is it Midichlorians?
Well when I fight I’ll make those seppies afraid of me with my
[Grace, Jerome, Louis, Montagrie, Mason]
Shot!
[Mason Baalman]
Yo I’ma be a Jedi’s apprentice.
When was the last time we were in loco parentis
I’m joinin’ this rebellion, ‘cause I know it’s our chance
To socially advance, instead listenin’ ta rants
I’m gonna take my
[Grace, Jerome, Montagrie, Louis]
Shot!
[Montagrie (Destiny)]
We will never be truly free.
Until we can free our friends and families from slavery!
(That’s right)
All arise. Do or die. Wait ‘til I rally ‘em
I’ma sally in with the first freemen battalion
Take another
[Grace, Jerome, Mont agrie, Louis, Nickolav]]
Shot
[Nickolav Bartok (Destiny)]
(Geniuses!) Lower your voices.
We keep outta trouble we can double our choices.
I’m with you, but the situation is hot
We’ve got to be carefully taught.
If we stop we’re gonna get shot.
[Destiny]
Sir, check what we got.
Mister Larin’s hot shot like pot shots
I think we could get hot.
Paulis, I like you a lot.
Let’s hatch our plot, blacker than the kettle callin’ the pot.
What are the odds your gods would put us all in one spot?
Poppin’ a squat on conventional warfare like it or not
A bunch of revolutionaries, ammunitions, break traditionists.
Give me that position, show me where your ammunition is! (Ensemble: Sh!)
Oh, am I talkin’ too loud?
I’m just a bit over excited, might shoot off at the mouth
Never had a group a fighters before
I’m gonna make my parents proud!
[Louis Paulis]
Let’s get our ass in front of a crowd!
[Grace, Jerome, Montagrie, Louis.. Add Sage, Destiny, Mason, Nickolav second]
We are not throwing away our shot!
We are not throwing away our shot!
Hell yeah, We’re just like this country
We’re young, scrappy, and hungry.
And We’re not throwing away our shot!
We are not throwing away our shot!
We are not throwing away our shot!
Hell yeah, We’re just like this country
We’re young, scrappy, and hungry.
And We’re not throwing away our shot!
[Jerome, (Grace, Louis, Montagrie, Ensemble)]
Everybody say!
Oh, oh, Oh. (Oh, oh, oh)
Let’s go!
Oh (oh)
Yeah!
Oh! (oh!)
Come on, you can’t ya what me?
(Yeah!)
Let’s go!
[Jerome (Lo
uis, ensemble)]
(Oh, oh oh!)
Shout o’er the rooftops! (oh)
I said, up to the rooftops! (oh)
Come on!
(Heyeah!)
Come on, let’s go!
[Montagrie]
Rise up!
We are livin’ on our knees, we need ta rise up
Tell your brothers they gotta rise up
Tell your sisters they gotta rise up
[Louis (Ensemble)]
When are these families gonna rise up?
When are these families gonna rise up?
(Rise up!)
When are these families gonna rise up?
(Rise up!)
When are these families gonna rise up?
(Rise up!)
Rise up!
[Destiny]
I’ve imagined death so much it feels more like a memory.
When’s it gonna get me?
In my sleep? Seven feet ahead of me?
I have seen it comin’ neva run but neva let it be.
It ain’t got no beat, no melody.
See, I wasn’t gonna live past twenty
What I’ve seen most don’t see half as many
Ask anybody why we livin’, crash, and we laugh, reach for it flash!
Cause we’ve got to make this moment last. [Grace] [That’s plenty]
[Grace] Scratch that.
This is not some moment, it's our movements
We’re all the hungriest brothers with nothin’ to lose yet
Foes oppose us, we’ll take an honest stand.
Roll like Moses, claimin our promised land.
And if we win our independence?
It has to be a guarantee of freedom for our descendents.
Or will the blood we shed begin the end of a cycle of vengeance and death, leave no defendents.
[Louis]
I know the action in the street is exciting’. But Kripes! Between all the bleedin’ and fightin’ I’ve been thinkin’ an bitin’.
We need to handle our military situation. Are we an army of children? What’s the state of the nations?
[Montagrie]
I’m past patiently waitin’! I’m passionately smashin’ every expectation, every action’s an act of creation!
We’re laughin’ in the face of casualties and sorrows We can only hope to make it past tomorrow…
[Grace and Ensemble]
But we are not throwing away our shot!
We are not throwing away our shot!
Hell yeah, We’re just like our country
We’re young, scrappy, and hungry.
And We’re not throwing away our shot!
[Main Cast (ensemble)]
We’re gonna rise up! (Not throwing away our shot!) Time to take our shot!
We’re gonna rise up! (Not throwin’ away our shot!) We’re gonna take our shot!
We’re gonna rise up! (Rise up, Rise up!)
It’s time to take our shot! (Rise up, rise up!)
It’s time to take our shot! (Rise up!)
(Rise up!) (Oh!!)
Time to take our shot! (Rise up!)
Take a shot! Shot! Shot!
A-yo! It’s time take our shot!
Time to take our shot!
And we are not throwing away our
[Chorus]
Not throwin’ away our shot!
