"Meet Me Inside" lyrics
Original Broadway Cast Of Hamilton Lyrics
"Meet Me Inside"
(from "Hamilton: An American Musical" soundtrack)
[Hamilton:]
Lee, do you yield?
[Burr:]
You shot him in the side!
Yes, he yields!
[Laurens:]
I'm satisfied
[Burr:]
Yo, we gotta clear the field!
[Hamilton:]
Go! We won
[Company:]
Here comes the General!
[Burr:]
This should be fun
[Washington:]
What is the meaning of this? Mr. Burr, get a medic for the General
[Burr:]
Yes, sir
[Washington:]
Lee, you will never agree with me
But believe me, these young men don't speak for me
Thank you for your service
[Burr:]
Let's ride!
[Washington:]
Hamilton!
[Hamilton:]
Sir!
[Washington:]
Meet me inside
[Company:]
Meet him inside! Meet him inside!
Meet him inside, meet him, meet him inside!
[Washington:]
Son
[Hamilton:]
Don't call me son
[Washington:]
This war is hard enough
Without infighting
[Hamilton:]
Lee called you out
We called his bluff
[Washington:]
You solve nothing, you aggravate our allies to the south
[Hamilton:]
You're absolutely right, John should have shot him in the mouth
That would've shut him up
[Washington:]
Son
[Hamilton:]
I'm notcha son
[Washington:]
Watch your tone
I am not a maiden in need of defending, I am grown
[Hamilton (overlapping):]
Charles Lee, Thomas Conway
These men take your name and they rake it through the mud
[Washington:]
My name's been through a lot, I can take it
[Hamilton:]
Well, I don't have your name
I don't have your titles
I don't have your land
But, if you
[Washington:]
No
[Hamilton:]
If you gave me command of a battalion, a group of men to lead, I could fly above my station after the war
[Washington:]
Or you could die and we need you alive
[Hamilton:]
I'm more than willing to die
[Washington:]
Your wife needs you alive, son, I need you alive
[Hamilton:]
Call me son one more time
[Washington:]
Go home, Alexander
That's an order from your commander
[Hamilton:]
Sir
[Washington:]
Go home
Writer(s): Earl Simmons, Kasseem Dean, Lin-manuel Miranda
This song contains elements of "Party Up (Up in Here)" written by Kasseem Dean and Earl Simmons.
Alexander Hamilton's line "John should have shot him in the mouth" towards John Laurens is a reference to another duel, where General John Cadwalader shot Thomas Conway in the mouth for maligning George Washington.
