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
