Say what you want about Hamilton but there are some RAW lines in it. The entirety of Wait For It is just!!!! Like, “Death doesn’t discriminate between the sinners and the saints. It takes and it takes and it takes, but we keep living anyway.” makes me FEEL things. Or, “If there’s a reason I’m still alive, when everyone who loves me has died, then I’m willing to wait for it.” And that one line, “I imagine death so much, it feels more like a memory.” Just ,,,, stirs my feelings you know???
Don’t forget “When my prayers to God was met with indifference, I picked up a pen, I wrote my own deliverance” like… damn
honestly, i still think SO MUCH about Your Obedient Servant. Like, the polite classical chords as a thin veneer of civility over the unfiltered rage. “I am slow to anger, but I… toe the line, when I reckon with the effects of your life on mine” “even if i said what you think i said, you would have to cite a more specific grievance, here’s an itemized list of 30 years of disagreements.” like, the SALT! the verbal gymnastics! the smokescreen of politeness they both insist on having! it’s iconic, and salty as hell and i am living for it
*softly* Immigrants, we get the job done
All of these are such great lines. This bit also gives me goosebumps:
“And in the face of ignorance and resistance, I wrote financial systems into existence”
As someone who works in government, there is so much negativity around policy-making - called paper-pushing or red tape. So it’s great to see it expressed so positively for once - that writing ideas can make a difference - it is also a form of creation.
people dont talk abt the mixtape enough. immigrants was such a good song, dumping ugly truth after ugly truth, but snow tha product’s lines in particular were 💯:
You claim I’m stealing jobs though / Peter Piper claimed he picked them, he just underpaid Pablo
i felt that. so much.

I always thought Eliza never rapped because she was the only who wasn’t “running out of time”. She still had so many years to live, so she never had to make sure she said everything before her time was up, and she could live it slow and steady instead.
