Alexander Hamilton's opening rap from the musical, declaring he will not throw away his shot. Creators use it for hype, study and workout edits.

This clip captures the driving opening rap from Hamilton, as Alexander Hamilton introduces himself with rapid, confident lyrics over a pulsing hip-hop beat and swelling ensemble backing. The delivery is urgent and rhythmic, building from a spoken introduction into a punchy, anthemic declaration that he will not waste his chance. It sounds youthful, ambitious and defiant, with crisp rhymes and a rising energy that makes the listener feel ready to act. In edits it instantly signals determination, underdog ambition and a moment of stepping up, turning an ordinary montage into something cinematic and motivational.

My Shot comes from Hamilton, Lin-Manuel Miranda's hip-hop musical about the life of Alexander Hamilton, which opened on Broadway in 2015 and later reached a much wider audience through its cast recording and filmed stage production. The song introduces Hamilton as a young, ambitious immigrant determined to rise, and its refrain about not throwing away his shot became one of the show's most quoted lines. It spread through theatre fans, covers, school performances and social video edits, and it endures because its message of seizing opportunity works far beyond the stage.
