How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Multiple motifs from “The Schuyler Sisters”—both Burr’s part and the sisters'—recur here in an arch reprise. Instead of the Schuyler family being on the pulse of politics, they’re being forced out. In “Schuyler Sisters,” Burr adopted a teasing rap style that he used in that song to talk himself up to Angelica. Now he uses it again to poke at Hamilton about his recent rise in prominence. Their brief argument marks the end of Hamilton and Burr’s (already contentious and contested) friendship. Things fall apart, and are pointedly foreshadowed. Battle lines are drawn for an increasingly vicious series of conflicts between Team Hamilton/Washington and what will soon be Team Burr/Jefferson (“Washington On Your Side”).
