2015 BET AWARDS HAMILTON CAST CYPHER
Featuring Lin-Manuel Miranda, Renee Elise Goldsberry, Daveed Diggs and Black Thought from the Roots
[VERSE 1: LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA] I’m full of surprises, it might take a minute to digest I’m gunnin’ for Pulitzer prizes. Ah, it’s a bit of a process But I got a Grammy, got a Tony, got a Emmy Goddamnit, homie, somebody show me the way to the Oscars
[VERSE 2: RENEE ELISE GOLDSBERRY] Upgraded the Railroad to a chariot with Harriet And Marie Curie brought some shit so hot we had to bury it Get my golden lariat, I’m a Wonder Woman gunnin’ for ‘em What you runnin’ from? You hear the thunder rumblin’ something’s coming Shatter y’all, hurricanes on wood frame houses The name’s Renée, you’ll never be the same BLAO. Game: blouses
[VERSE 3: DAVEED DIGGS] Diminishing returns make the burners come out, start to wave Question me if you wanna, y’all, I was up on the stage Playing a polyglot glutton, suckin’ a molly popsicle So sick of the club I just turn up at the hospital Ordering orderlies to turn the heat up four degrees So I can take my shirt off and live out my California dreams Scribble “Thug Life” in invisible ink An umbilical minor chord-clipping metaphysical link To the pastime high, wrecks, last time I checked There was hella rappers in line for the time to scream “I’m next” I just walked right in the door marked “Hamilton Stage,” stayed patient Playing these dead presidents I’m getting my reparations
