Lin-Manuel Miranda - We Know Lyrics
[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 seventeen ninety-one
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've 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 sons
[Burr/Jefferson/Madison:]
Ya best g'wan run back where ya come from!
[Hamilton:]
Ha! You don't even know what you're asking me to confess
[Jefferson/Madison/Burr:]
Confess
[Hamilton:]
You have nothing. I don't have to tell you anything at all
Unless
[Jefferson/Madison/Burr:]
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?
[Jefferson/Madison/Burr:]
Um, yes
[Burr:]
"Dear Sir, I hope this letter finds you in good health
And in a prosperous enough position to put wealth
In the pockets of people like me: down on their luck
You see, it was my wife who you decided to..."
[Jefferson:]
Whaaaat
[Hamilton:]
She courted me
Escorted me to bed and when she had me in a 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 checkered history
Check it again against your list n' see consistency
I never spent a cent that wasn't mine
You sent the dogs after my scent, that's fine
Yes, I have reasons 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:]
My God
[Madison:]
Gentlemen, let's go
[Hamilton:]
So?
[Jefferson and Madison:]
The people won't know what we know
[Hamilton:]
Burr!
How do I know you won't use this against me
The next time we go toe to toe?
[Burr:]
Alexander, rumors only grow
And we both know what we know

Lin-Manuel Miranda We Know Comments
To any mbmbam fans: the "Unless..." was based on the boys!
MISTER VICE PRESIDENT
He paid $1000 for a basically-prostitute? Jeez, and this was back when you could buy an island for like five bucks.
I need to do an essay on this musical and I’m at a part “best songs vs worse” so I looked it up and this was one of the worst I guess but this is so hard to choose. Every song in Hamilton is good.
How did this become a meme
Damn tiktok getting me back into my musical "phase"
My god 😂😂
Most catchy part:
An immigrant embezzling the government funds
I can almost see the headline 'your career is done'
I hope you saved some money for your daughter and sons
You best run off back where you come from
before Hamilton the musical came out:
Person:whos this guy on the ten dollar bill
Other person: I hate him he ruined history
After Hamilton the musical came out:
Person: JEFFERSON SUCKS AND HAMILTONS AMAZING
Other person: Hamilton had horrible logic and wasnt really a good person
Person: I DONT CARE HE SINGS GOOD AND HAS CATCHY TUNES!!
Hamilton: “Do you promise not to tell another soul what you saw?!”
Burr, Jefferson, Madison: “Ye-“
Hamilton: *”FiNe, I have to do everything MySeLf-“*
Who else listens to this song just to hear “whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!?” 😂

Genuinely good song: *exists*
TikTok: Hippity hoppity is song is my property
My name is Usnavi too
i cheated on my wife and ruined her life!
wow, chill alex 😳✋
Am I the only one who always pictures Burr, Madison and Jefferson dressed as heathers while listening to this song?😅😂
"And don't even think about leaking the letters to expose me, because I already did!"
-Hamilton
i saw the show yesterday. and let me tell you. this song was incredible even with the completely new cast. loved it
0:45 Tik tokers have entered the chat
@.@ -Hamilton when he finds out they know.
Hamilton *Before they expose me ima expose my self!*
Also Hamilton: *Oop*
These are the best parts. 0:25 -2:22
I don’t want to sound uncultured but Hamilton sounds like Jschlatt
0:56 through 1:07 my fav part I can’t stop thinking of it lol
I’m proud i’m not here from tik tok i’m an actual hamilton fan
0:54
Hamilton: *says something that makes three men in the 1700s quote the fucking mcelroys*
Me: whatever he says next can only end in good :)
TikTok: hIpPiTy hOpPiTy tHiS iS nOw mY pRoPeRtY!!
The entire Hamilton fandom: Let us show you where our shoe fits!!
This reminds me of the greatest showman far too much
Tiktok lol
A moment of respect for how cool 1:01 sounds
Hamilton: I may be an immigrant but I basically helped George run this country. I was his right hand man. I was in the battle of Yorktown... Must I go on? Yes? Well let's see, I wrote papers against slavery with John. My best friend was a spy and helped us win this war. Thomas, Lafayette was my friend before he even knew you existed. And I have all 3 of the Skylar sisters on my side. So being from somewhere different means nothing when I basically helped build this country.
Thomas: I-
Burr: Uh-
James: Well this is...
Why does it say parental advisory at the bottom
Oh you know, just doing history homework while listening to the Hamilton soundtrack!
0:56 this voice sound familiar to somebody I know from Disney but I don't know
0:33 thank me later
Is it weird I added this to my playlist and know all the words??
Yo I really should of listened to this shit when I was learning it in history
He just carries that letter everywhere?
Jefferson is a mood I stg
There was a kid playing the drums in the background and it matched the timing perfectly 😂
[Hamilton:]

The next time we go toe to toe?
[Burr:]
Alexander, rumors only grow
And we both know what we know
That was my wife you decsided to..
Fuuuuuuuuuu
Whaaaaaaaa
Go to 2x speed.
Jefferson after Alexander finishes his explaining: .....my god
Legitally my reaction after listening to Say no to this
The people won't know what we know :me hearing my mom and dad getting a divorce😒
2:12 am i the only one to hear "boomers only grow
0:39 I love Burr’s part!
I could imagine if Hamilton songs and TikTok were human. Like Hamilton songs are just walking down the street and then TikTok just grabs them while running away saying mine. And all the Hamilton fans start attacking.
.......what Hamilton is not smart because he had to agree with maria reynnols bruh 😡😡😡😡😡😡
Hamilton: “I have not sullied my good name.”
Me: *laughs in Reynolds Pamphlet*
I am the only Beetlejuice here. My Hamilton loving friend forced me to listen to this
Officially my favorite song from the musical
You have nothing I don’t have to tell you anything at all UNLESSSS
No one:
Tik Tok: Bipity Bopity, this song is now my property
Shoutout to y’all that aren’t from tiktok 🙌🏼
"Look, I cheated on my wife, but at least I didn't break the law."
How much did he steal? What’s a thousand dollars in today’s time?
he didnt steal anything he just fucked someones wife
I’m sorry but 0:33 sounds so ?? good ??
*Top 10 anime confessions*
Tiktok: *attempts to ruin this*
1:01 my favourite part because it sounds majestic
0:14 to 0:17 dakotaz

Fun Fact: The "Unless..Unless?" Is a refrence to the Mcelroy Brothers!
When you have no idea what Hamilton is about but still listen to all the songs. I kind of understand now, but I really really really want to watch the musical now! :)
Am I the only one that thinks this sounds like Ronnie?
FBI OPEN UP
1:18 - 1:25
in 0:56 is my favorite part in this song hehehe......
do
do
do dO
*H A H*
Fun fact: in a interview daveed diggs admitted to forgetting a line when he has a exchange with I think Madison and effed up the line and completely forgot it. But lins understudy kept it going while the rest of the cast was trying not to laugh.
(Meanwhile King George in on his throne sipping tea as he receives a letter saying all this, clears throat) WILLIAAAAAAM!! GET MY A SHIP AND TAKE ME TO THE AMERICANS! I FEEL SOME SHIT BOILING UP AND I WANT TO THROW PAPERS IN HAMILTONS FACE!
Hamilton: asks Jefferson, Madison, and Burr not to tell anyone about the affair
Also Hamilton: Goes on to write a 95 page pamphlet about it
Alexander sounds like jschlatt
hamilton: haha i didnt embezzle funds i just cheated on my wife
Y'know, I was lowkey thinking about the entire soundtrack in the shower. It has been a while since I've heard the soundtrack, why do I still remember the words?
0:56 my sister after getting takeaway without me
Me 1:01
My sisters friend giving me a soda can 1:04
Me: um yes
Hamilton: Do you promise not to tell another soul what you saw?
Burr: no one else was in the room where we happened
Hamilton: WTF, just say yes or no
Burr, Jefferson and Madison: ah, yes
Hamilton: Fuck it I'll tell everyone myself
