How do you explain "I am not throwing away my shot"?
The line kind of hinges on a double meaning. The first meaning is the colloquial English term "throw away one's shot," referring to wasting an opportunity. Hamilton is saying that he will not waste the opportunity he has been given, but will instead pursue his dreams. The second meaning, more particular to the play, refers to the practice of "deloping," in which a duelist intentionally wastes their shot in order to bring an end to the duel without either party being injured. In this sense, "throwing away my shot" is literal; Hamilton "throws away" (wastes) the shot from his pistol. More on reddit.com

Any time my friend goes to do something stupid that the rest of us will join in on I always say "we'll be with you when you do". It's just such a good line for that. More on reddit.com

Oh, man... I'm kind of embarrassed to admit I just figured this one out today (as I listened for the 4573839 time.) In Say No to This, they use the word "helpless" so many times... most painful is when Alexander says "cuz the situation's helpless" and Maria echoes "helpless..." I was on the subway when I realized the connection and I actually gasped out loud... poor Eliza. :( Even her special song - Helpless - is tainted by A. Ham's crappy affair. (Took me WAY to long to find that connection.) More on reddit.com

Lin-Manuel Miranda – My Shot (demo) Lyrics | Genius Lyrics
Hey yo, I’m just like my country I’m young, scrappy, and hungry And I’m not throwing away my shot! I just got a scholarship to King’s College 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 And 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 is unimpeachable [HAMILTON/MULLIGAN] Seventeen years old, but my mind is older [HAMILTON] As these New York City streets get colder, I shoulder Ev’ry burden, ev’ry disadvantage I have learned to manage, I ain't got a gun to brandish I walk these streets famished The plan is to fan this spark into a flame But damn, it’s getting dark, so let me spell out the name Yo, it's the—
