My Shot
[MALFOY]
I am not throwing away my shot!
I am not throwing away my shot!
Hey yo, I'm just like the Order
I'm young, cunning and hungry
And I'm not throwing away my shot!
I'm 'a get a scholarship to Hogwarts
I prob'ly shouldn't brag, but dag, I amaze and astonish
The problem is I got a lot of brains but no polish
I gotta holler just to be heard
With every word, I drop knowledge!
I'm a diamond in the rough, a shiny piece of coal
Tryin' to reach my goal. My power of speech: unimpeachable
Only seventeen but my mind is older
These Hogwarts halls get colder, I shoulder
Ev'ry burden, ev'ry disadvantage
I have learned to manage, I don't have a wand to brandish
I walk these halls famished
The plan is to fan this rebel spark into a flame
But damn, it's getting dark, so let me spell out the name
I am the-
[MALFOY/KINGSLEY/THEO/NEVILLE]
D-R-A-C-O-we are-meant to be...
[MALFOY]
A new country that runs properly
Meanwhile, Voldemort keeps shittin' on us endlessly
Essentially, they attack us relentlessly
Then Voldemort turns around, orders a killing spree
He ain't ever gonna set our descendants free
So there will be a revolution in this century
Enter me!
[KINGSLEY/THEO/NEVILLE]
(He says in parentheses)
[MALFOY]
Don't be shocked when your hist'ry book mentions me
I will lay down my life if it sets us free
Eventually, you'll see my ascendancy
And I am not throwing away
My shot
I am not throwing away
My shot
Hey yo, I'm just like the Order
I'm young, cunning and hungry
And I'm not throwing away my shot
[MALFOY/THEO/NEVILLE/KINGSLEY]
I am not throwing away my shot
I am not throwing away my shot
Hey yo, I'm just like the Order
I'm young, cunning and hungry
And I'm not throwing away my shot
It's time to take a shot!
[KINGSLEY]
I dream of life without a tyranny
The unrest in Britain will lead to 'onarchy?
'Onarchy? How you say, how you say, 'anarchy?'
When I fight, I make the other side panicky
With my-
[MALFOY/NEVILLE/KINGSLEY/THEO]
Shot!
[THEO]
Yo, I'm a Potioneer's apprentice
And I got y'all knuckleheads in loco parentis
I'm joining the rebellion cuz I know it's my chance
To socially advance, instead of stewin' some brews!
I'm gonna take a-
[MALFOY/NEVILLE/KINGSLEY/THEO]
Shot!
[NEVILLE]
But we'll never be truly free
Until those in our country have the same rights as you and me
You and I. Do or die. Wait till I sally in
On a stallion with a muggleborn battalion
Have another-
[MALFOY/NEVILLE/KINGSLEY/THEO]
Shot!
[POTTER]
Geniuses, lower your voices
You keep out of trouble and you double your choices
I'm with you, but the situation is fraught
You've got to be carefully taught first:
If you talk, you're gonna get shot!
[MALFOY]
Potter, check what we got
Mister Kingsley, hard rock like Lancelot
Neville, I like you a lot
I think your pants look hot
Let's hatch a plot blacker than the kettle callin' the pot...
What are the odds Merlin would put us all in one spot
Poppin' a squat on conventional wisdom, like it or not
A bunch of revolutionary pro-muggleborns?
Give me a position, show me where to attack!
Oh, am I talkin' too loud?
Sometimes I get over-excited, shoot off at the mouth
I never had a group of friends before
I promise that I'll make y'all proud
[NEVILLE]
Let's get this guy in front of a crowd
[MALFOY/NEVILLE/KINGSLEY/THEO/ENSEMBLE]
I am not throwing away my shot
I am not throwing away my shot
Hey yo, I'm just like the Order
I'm young, cunning and hungry
And I'm not throwing away my shot
I am not throwing away my shot
I am not throwing away my shot
Hey yo, I'm just like the Order
I'm young, cunning and hungry
And I'm not throwing away my shot
[NEVILLE]
Ev'rybody sing:
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Hey!
Whoa!
Wooh!!
Whoa!
Ay, let 'em hear ya!
Yeah!
Let's go!
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
I said shout it to the rooftops!
Whoa!
Said, to the rooftops!
Whoa!
Come on!
Yeah!
Come on, let's go!
[MALFOY]
When you're living on your knees, you rise up
Tell your brother that he's gotta rise up
Tell your sister that she's gotta rise up
[NEVILLE AND ENSEMBLE]
When are these constituencies gonna rise up?
[COMPANY]
Rise up!
When are these constituencies gonna rise up?
Whoa! Whoa!
When are these constituencies gonna rise up?
Whoa!
Whoa!
Rise up!
Rise up?
Whoa!
[MALFOY]
I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory
When's it gonna get me?
In my sleep? Seven feet ahead of me?
If I see it comin', do I run or do I let it be?
Is it like a beat without a melody?
See, I never thought I'd live past twenty
Where I come from some get half as many
Ask anybody why we livin' fast and we laugh, reach for a flask
We have to make this moment last, that's plenty
Scratch that
This is not a moment, it's the movement
Where all the hungriest brothers with
Something to prove went?
Foes oppose us, we take an honest stand
We roll like Merlin, claimin' our promised land
And? If we win our independence?
'Zat a guarantee of freedom for our descendants?
Or will the blood we shed begin an endless
Cycle of vengeance and death with no defendants?
I know the action in the street is excitin'
But Merlin, between all the bleedin' 'n fightin'
I've been readin' 'n writin'
We need to handle our financial situation
Are we a nation of counties? What's the state of our nation?
I'm past patiently waitin'. I'm passionately
Smashin' every expectation
Every action's an act of creation!
I'm laughin' in the face of casualties and sorrow
For the first time, I'm thinkin' past tomorrow
[MALFOY AND COMPANY]
And I am not throwing away my shot
I am not throwing away my shot
