Related: About this forumPresident Obama recites a passage from George Washington's farewell address in this final #Hamildrop
Lin-Manuel Miranda has released the last song in his epic #Hamildrop series. This final number, "One Last Time (44 Remix)," is a groundbreaking remake of the original song from Hamilton, featuring Tony-nominated original cast member Christopher Jackson singing while former President Barack Obama recites a passage from George Washington's farewell address. The song is produced by Grammy-winning gospel singer and Broadway alum Bebe Winans. Listen below and check out footage from the recording session at the link.

I thought I was prepared, I was so not prepared. I sobbed.
This is my favorite song on the soundtrack, and Lin-Manuel made it even better...church is in session!
