Daveed Diggs - We Know (Off-Broadway) lyrics

[HAMILTON] Mr. Vice President Senator 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 [HAMILTON] 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] You might win some, but you just lost one [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 [HAMILTON] “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 James Reynolds' wife I tried to.. [JEFFERSON] Whaaaat— [HAMILTON] Uh oh, it looks like I trusted the wrong couple I threw it all away for some young soft and supple Yes, I confess, I'm a s**er for a damsel in distress I'm getting the stress off my chest [BURR] That's enough [HAMILTON] She courted me Escorted me to bed and when she had me in a corner That's when her husband 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 the 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 or 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] I guess you don't But we both know what we know
