What line(s) do you always forget?

[brainwane]

For those of you who have nearly memorized one or more of the songs, what's the one line you keep forgetting?

Me:

Alexander Hamilton: "Scammin' for every book he can get his hands on / plannin' for the future" (but I can always remember the next bit, "see him now as he stands on the bow of a ship")

My Shot: "tryin' to reach my goal" and "Foes oppose us, we take an honest stand"

Non-Stop: "Now for a strong central democracy"

Your Obedient Servant: "I don't wanna fight" and "You stand only for yourself"

(I will probably get to the "only a couple of lines missing" memorization point with One Last Time sometime but it's gonna cost me a lot of tears. Good laws under a free government! *cries*)

I'm curious about whether it's very individual or whether people's experiences overlap....

There are many places where I can understand the gist, but I get lost in the flow. (Besides Gil-Scott Heron, this is the only rap/hip-hop I've ever listened to. Thank heavens for Hamilton nudging me to learn more about it.)

The one I was hung up on for weeks was
"I'm just like my country, ? young scrappy and hungry."
Then boom a beat I couldn't count transformed into "I'm"

"My Shot":

[LAFAYETTE/MULLIGAN/LAURENS]
(He says in parentheses)

[HAMILTON]
Don’t be shocked when your hist’ry book mentions me
I will lay down my life if it sets us free
Eventually, you’ll see my ascendancy

--I always want to skip right over "Don't be shocked."

I get all confused with the lines that've changed since the white house version of Alexander Hamilton. They're so similar...

There aren't many songs I've mostly memorized. When I just checked I missed the "You will [come of age with] our young nation" in Dear Theodosia, but that changes.
I'm missing a similar bit in Alexander Hamilton ("[scammin' for] every book he can get his hands on [...] stands on the bow of a ship")

In "The Room Where It happens," I can never quite seem to get "Madison is grappling with the fact that not ev’ry issue can be settled by committee" - I get SO CLOSE but I always forget the first part ("Madison is grappling").
