Right Hand Man歌词：

British admiral howe's got troops on the water

Thirty-two thousand troops in New York harbour

Thirty-two thousand troops in New York harbour

Thirty-two thousand troops in New York harbour

When they surround our troops

They surround our troops they surround our troops

As a kid in the Caribbean I wished for a war

I knew that I was poor I knew it was the only way to

Rise up if they tell my story

I am either gonna die on the battlefield in glory or

Rise up I will fight for this land but there's only one man

Who can give us a command so we can

Rise up understand it's the only way to rise up rise up

Here he comes

Here comes the general

Ladies and gentlemen

Here comes the general

The moment you've been waiting for

Here comes the general

The pride of mount Vernon

Here comes the general

George Washington

We are out-gunned what

Out-manned what

Out-numbered out-planned buck buck buck buck

Buck

We gotta make an all-out stand

Hey yo I'm gonna need a right-hand man buck buck buck buck

Buck

Check it

Can I be real a second for just a millisecond

Let down my guard and tell the people how I feel a second

Now I'm the model of a modern major general

The venerated Virginian veteran whose men are all

Lining up to put me up on a pedestal writing letters to relatives

Embellishing my elegance and eloquence

But the elephant is in the room the truth is in your face

When you hear the British cannons go boom

Any hope of success is fleeting

How can I keep leading when the people I'm leading keep retreating

We put a stop to the bleeding as the British take Brooklyn

Knight takes rook but look

We are out-gunned what

Out-manned what

Out-numbered out-planned buck buck buck buck

Buck

We gotta make an all-out stand

Ayo I'm gonna need a right-hand man buck buck buck buck

Buck

Incoming

They're battering down the battery check the damages brrah

We gotta stop em and rob em of their advantages brrah

Let's take a stand with the stamina god has granted us

Hamilton won't abandon ship yo let's steal their cannons

Shh-boom

Boom goes the cannon watch the blood and the sh*t spray and

Boom goes the cannon we're abandoning kips bay and

Boom there's another ship and

Boom we just lost the southern tip and

Boom we've gotta run to Harlem quick we can't afford another slip

Guns and horses giddy up I decide to divvy up

My forces they're skittish as the British cut the city up

This close to giving up facing mad scrutiny

I scream in the face of this mass mutiny

Are these the men with which I am to defend America

We ride at midnight Manhattan in the distance

I cannot be everywhere at once people

I'm in dire need of assistance

Your excellency sir

Who are you

Aaron burr sir

Permission to state my case

As you were

Sir I was a captain under general Montgomery

Until he caught a bullet in the neck in Quebec and well in summary

I think that I could be of some assistance

I admire how you keep firing on the British from a distance

Huh

I have some questions a couple of suggestions

On how to fight Instead of fleeing west

Yes

Well

Your excellency you wanted to see me

Hamilton come in have you met burr

Yes sir

We keep meeting

As I was saying sir

I look forward to seeing your strategy play out

Burr

Sir

Close the door on your way out

Have I done something wrong sir

On the contrary

I called you here because our odds are beyond scary

Your reputation precedes you but I have to laugh

Sir

Hamilton how come no one can get you on their staff

Sir

Don't get me wrong you're a young man of great renown

I know you stole British cannons when we were still downtown

Nathanael Greene and Henry Knox wanted to hire you

To be their secretary I don't think so

Now why are you upset

I'm not

It's alright you want to fight you've got a hunger

I was just like you when I was younger

Head full of fantasies of dying like a martyr

Yes

Dying is easy young man living is harder

Why are you telling me this

I'm being honest

I'm working with a third of what our congress has promised

We are a powder keg about to explode

I need someone like you to lighten the load

So

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 scrappy and hungry

I am not throwing away my shot

Son we are outgunned out manned

You need all the help you can get I have some friends

Lauren's mulligan marquis DE Lafayette okay what else

Outnumbered out planned

We'll need some spies on the inside

Some king's men who might let some things slide

Boom whoa whoa whoa

I'll write to congress and tell them we need supplies

You rally the guys master the element of surprise

Chicka-boom whoa whoa whoa

I'll rise above my station organize your information

Til we rise to the occasion of our new nation sir

Here comes the general

Rise up what

Here comes the general

Rise up what

Here comes the general

Rise up what

Here comes the general

What

And his right hand man

Boom
