Lin-Manuel Miranda - Blow Us All Away Lyrics






[Philip:]
Meet the latest graduate of King's College!
I prob'ly shouldn't brag, but, dag, I amaze and astonish!
The scholars say I got the same virtuosity and brains as my pops!
The ladies say my brain's not where the resemblance stops!
I'm only nineteen but my mind is older
Gotta be my own man, like my father, but bolder
I shoulder his legacy with pride
I used to hear him say
That someday I would

[Ensemble:]
Blow us all away

[Philip:]
Ladies, I'm looking for a Mr. George Eacker
Made a speech last week, our Fourth of July speaker
He disparaged my father's legacy in front of a crowd
I can't have that, I'm making my father proud

[Martha:]
I saw him just up Broadway a couple of blocks
He was goin' to see a play

[Philip:]
Well, I'll go visit his box

[Dolly:]
God, you're a fox

[Philip:]
And y'all look pretty good in ya' frocks
How 'bout when I get back, we all strip down to our socks?

[Both:]
OK!

[Company:]
Blow us all away!

[Philip:]
George!

[George:]
Shh

[Philip:]
George!

[George:]
Shh! I'm tryin' to watch the show!

[Philip:]
Ya' shoulda watched your mouth before you talked about my father though!

[George:]
I didn't say anything that wasn't true
Your father's a scoundrel, and so, it seems, are you

[Ensemble:]
Ooooooooooh!

[Philip:]
It's like that?

[George:]
Yeah, I don't fool around
I'm not your little schoolboy friends

[Philip:]
See you on the dueling ground
That is, unless you wanna step outside and go now

[George:]
I know where to find you, piss off
I'm watchin' this show now

Shh

[Philip:]
Pops, if you had only heard the shit he said about you
I doubt you would have let it slide and I was not about to

[Hamilton:]
Slow down

[Philip:]
I came to ask you for advice
This is my very first duel
They don't exactly cover this subject in boarding school

[Hamilton:]
Did your friends attempt to negotiate a peace?

[Philip:]
He refused to apologize, we had to let the peace talks cease

[Hamilton:]
Where is this happening?

[Philip:]
Across the river, in Jersey

[Hamilton/Philip:]
Everything is legal in New Jersey…

[Hamilton:]
Alright
So this is what you're gonna do:
Stand there like a man until Eacker is in front of you
When the time comes, fire your weapon in the air
This will put an end to the whole affair

[Philip:]
But what if he decides to shoot?
Then I'm a goner

[Hamilton:]
No, he'll follow suit if he's truly a man of honor
To take someone's life, that is something you can't shake
Philip, your mother can't take another heartbreak

[Philip:]
Father

[Hamilton:]
Promise me
You don't want this
Young man's blood on your conscience

[Philip:]
Okay, I promise

[Hamilton:]
Come back home when you're done
Take my guns, be smart
Make me proud, son

[Philip:]
My name is Philip
I am a poet
And I'm a little nervous, but I can't show it
I'm sorry, I'm a Hamilton with pride
You talk about my father, I cannot let it slide
Mister Eacker! How was the rest of your show?

[George:]
I'd rather skip the pleasantries
Let's go
Grab your pistol

[Philip:]
Confer with your men
The duel will commence after we count to ten

[Ensemble:]
Count to ten!

[Philip:]
Look 'em in the eye, aim no higher
Summon all the courage you require
Then slowly and clearly aim your gun towards the sky

[Male Ensemble:]
One two three four

[Full Ensemble:]
Five six seven

    Hamilton: Come back when youre done


    Spoiler: he's not coming back

  2. I.... U....

    Fun fact, Eacker was able to count to 10. Eacker counted to 10 paces like you should, and they both faced each other. They then had this awkward silence for about a minute before they both raised their guns, resulting in Eacker shooting poor Philip. Sadly Eacker was never charged. Though my point is their was no foul play involving Philip’s death.

    One, two, three, four, five, six, seven-

  4. S.... F....

    George shot him at seven because guess what he’s too dumb to know how to count past 7

  5. m.... d....

    1:11 you can literally hear the sass in Philips voice when he says 'it"s like that?'. I love it.

  6. m.... d....

    ham: no. he'll follow suit if he's truly a man of honor.

    *Philip gets shot.*

    Philip: hey, so um dad... I didn't think he's a man of honor.

  7. f.... t....

    My name is Philip
    I was a poet
    But now I’m dead
    And I can’t show it

  8. K.... K....

    The fucker couldn’t even count to ten!

  9. A.... H....

    0:10 I approve!

  10. G.... G....

    Why he shoot at 7

  11. B.... F....

    I always thought that when Hamilton said Eliza couldn't take another heartbreak, I thought he meant him cheating, but now I realize that it's because her little sister Peggy died 8 months before Phillip in March the same year...

  12. M.... G....

    He reminds me so much of J.Laurens...

    I’m gonna make myself cry again 😢

  13. G.... C....

    When u see someone who is named George and he actually looks like George Eaker:



    Us: ...>:c

    G.... C....

    I can see myself counting to seven and punch him in the face like "this is for Philip!!!"

  14. J.... H....

    "everything is legal in New Jersey"

    J.... H....

    I mean, They are not wrong though

  15. A.... D....

    Years later
    Phillip: morning Daddy!
    Hamilton: Hey! John
    Eliza: ..... what???
    Phillip: ......... what???
    Hamilton: I meant hey babe!
    Eliza: Alexander....... your making your life worse..

    1 month later
    Phillip dies


    1 year later
    Alexander dies

    Eliza: WHY DID HE CALL PHILLIP JHON WHEN HE SAID MORNING DADDY???

  16. R.... H....

    Eacker you son of a bitch? do you know how to count?? have you ever gone to school??? wait was school even a thing around that time-

  17. A.... M....

    Bruh George needs to learn how to count

  18. I.... ....

    "My name is Philip.
    I am a poet."


    Ah there you have it ladies and gentlemen. Our boi was a poet rather than a fighter.
    And Eacker? Eacker's a coward. Damn fool could talk about Hamilton but couldn't count to ten.

  19. M.... G....

    Hamilton: This will put an end to the whole affair.
    Me: OH REALLY, YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT ENDING AFFAIRS?!

  20. b.... :....

    Philip never got to his threesome ...

  21. A.... C....

    Watching this animatic made this song my favorite from Hamilton. Even above the song burn🔥

  22. T.... o....

    MY NAME IS PHILIP
    I AM IN HEAVEN
    CAUSE GEORGE EAKER
    COULD ONLY COUNT SEVEN
    AND I WAS JUST 29 (I know he was younger but that’s what rhymes)
    YOU CAN SAVE LIVES BUT YOU CANT SAVE MINE

  23. C.... ....

    1:46 classicccc

  74. E.... M....

    me deciding if I'm really going to have a crush on an animation phillip

  75. A.... ....

    Woah hey, I like Blow Us All Away but did you know that George Eacker actually shot at nine?

    He was drunk as of place during the duel, and shot Philip being startled when Philip raised his gun. I love baby Pip and I cry at Stay Alive Reprise every time, but Eacker was just surprised when Philip raised his gun, not at Eacker, but at the sky, causing a spasm in his body and physically effecting his finger that was placed on the trigger, which his hand raised and the bullet hit Philip in between the hip and lodged in his left arm.

    Eacker didn’t mean to, and actually died of a drug overdose just a year after Pip’s death. His whole life, he was filled with the sorrow of “this young man’s blood on his conscience”.

    (I did write this, I’m trying to explain to everyone that it wasn’t Eacker’s fault)

  76. A.... ....

    bby philip is a cinnamon roll

  77. T.... a....

    Philip shoot that man in his fucking face.

  78. C.... t....

    Alexander after watching the duel:GEORGE LEARN TO FUCKING COUNT TO TEN BECAUSE OF YOUR UNEDUCATED ASS MY SON IS DEAD THIS ISN'T A DUEL NOW IT'S A FUCKING STREETFIGHT BITCH LETS GO *kills George 200 times over again*

    *Everything is legal in New Jersey*

  80. S.... S....

    1:24

    Me (alex): Is playing video games
    Homework (philip): Kicks down door

  81. M.... 1....

    (Everything is legal in New Jersey)

  82. A.... N....

    Philip is my favorite character and so is Laurens! (There also the same character)

  83. T.... X....

    Philip is reliable with the *LADIES*

  84. Y.... M....

    Hamilton:Phillip, you look exactly like me!
    Laurens:Yeah, yeah... I guess.

  85. C.... ....

    OKAY! Tea time. So, as u all know, Laurens and Philip are played by the same person. And you obviously know that Hamilton is just Hamilton the whole play -_- BUT! In Schuyler Defeated, Philip calls Hamilton... Daddy. SINCE Laurens and Philip are played by the same person, Laurens is calling Hamilton Daddy. LAMS IS REEEAAAL

  86. D.... D....

    Alexander: What will you do know?
    Philip: I'm having a threesome
    Alexander: That’s my son.
