We Know (我們知道) - Lin-Manuel Miranda (林-曼努爾·米蘭達)/Daveed Diggs/Leslie Odom Jr./Okieriete Onaodowan

Lyrics by:Lin-Manuel Miranda

Composed by:Lin-Manuel Miranda

Hamilton:

Mr vice president

 

Mr madison

 

Senator burr

 

What is this

 

Jefferson:

We have the check stubs from separate accounts

Madison:

Almost a thousand dollars paid in different amounts

 

Burr:

To a Mr james reynolds way back in 1791

Hamilton:

Is that what you have

Are you done

Madison:

You are uniquely situated by virtue of your position

Jefferson:

Though virtue is not a word I'd apply to this situation

Madison:

To seek financial gain to stray from your sacred mission

Jefferson:

And the evidence suggests you engaged in speculation

Burr:

An immigrant embezzling our government funds

Jefferson/Madison:

I can almost see the headline your career is done

Burr:

I hope you saved some money for your daughter and son

Jefferson/Madison:

Ya best gonna wanna run back where ya come from

Hamilton:

Ha you don't even know what you're asking me to confess

 

Hamilton:

You have nothing

I don't have to tell you anything at all

 

Unless

 

Hamilton:

If I can prove that I never broke the law

Do you promise not to tell another soul what you saw

Burr:

No one else was in the room where it happened

Hamilton:

Is that a yes

 

Hamilton:

She courted me

Escorted me to bed

And when she had me in the corner

That's when reynolds extorted me

For a sordid fee

I paid him quarterly

I may have mortally wounded my prospects

But my papers are orderly

As you can see I kept a record of every check in my checking history

Check it again against your list and see consistency

I never spent a cent that wasn't mine

You sent the dogs after my scent that's fine

 

Yes I have reason for shame

But I have not committed treason and sullied my good name

 

As you can see I have done nothing to provoke legal action

 

Are my answers to your satisfaction

 

Jefferson/Madison:

The people won't know what we know

 

Burr:

 

And we both know what we know
