I take no ownership of the audio(s) used in this video, this was just for myself and I wanted to share it with everyone else who have also been looking for this. Even though it's no perfect by any means, I couldn't find Nonstop Sing as Burr anywhere so I just snipped around and made it. The end ensemble part is just the original sound as it was difficult to get only Burr's voice out of it. Sorry about that! :D All original audio belongs to the Hamilton Musical and the instrumental belongs to • Hamilton - Non-Stop - ... . Enjoy singing!
Lyrics:
After the war I went back to New York
--
I finished up my studies and I practiced law
--
Even though we started at the very same time
Alexander Hamilton began to climb
How to account for his rise to the top?
Man, the man is non-stop
--
Co-counsel
Hamilton, sit down
Our client Levi Weeks is innocent
Call your first witness
That's all you had to say
--
Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room?
Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room?
Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room?
Soon that attitude may be your doom!
Why do you write like you're running out of time?
Write day and night like you're running out of time?
Every day you fight, like you're running out of time
Keep on fighting, in the meantime-
(Non-stop!)
--
(Non-stop!)
--
Why do you always say what you believe?
Why do you always say what you believe?
Every proclamation guarantees
Free ammunition for your enemies (Awww!)
Why do you write like it's going out of style? (Hey)
Write day and night like it's going out of style? (Hey)
Every day you fight like it's going out of style
Do what you do
Alexander?
--
Well, it's the middle of the night
--
Is this a legal matter?
--
What do you need?
--
Okay
--
Who's your client?
--
No
--
No way!
--
No one will read it
--
And if it fails?
--
The constitution's a mess
--
It's full of contradictions
--
No, no way
--
Good night
--
(What?)
--
Of course
--
And what if you're backing the wrong horse?
--
I'll keep all my plans close to my chest
(Wait for it, wait for it, wait)
I'll wait here and see which way the wind will blow
I'm taking my time, watching the afterbirth of a nation
Watching the tension grow
--
Alexander joins forces with James Madison
And John Jay to write a series of essays
Defending the new United States Constitution
Entitled The Federalist Papers
The plan was to write a total of 25 essays
The work divided evenly among the three men
In the end, they wrote 85 essays
In the span of six months
John Jay got sick after writing five
James Madison wrote 29
Hamilton wrote the other 51
How do you write like you're running out of time? (Running out of time?)
Write day and night like you're running out of time? (Running out of time?)
Every day you fight, like you're running out of time
Like you're running out of time
Are you running out of time? Awwww!
How do you write like tomorrow won't arrive?
How do you write like you need it to survive?
How do you write every second you're alive?
Every second you're alive? Every second you're alive?

Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room?
Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room? (Non-stop)
Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room? (Non-stop)
Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room? (History has its eyes)
Why do you fight like you're running out of time? (Non-stop)
Why do you fight like
History has its eyes on you
