Take A Break is the second song of Act Two of Hamilton. Alexander returns home to work on his financial plan and is welcomed home by Eliza and Angelica, who has traveled from England. Eliza reminds him that it is his son Philip's ninth birthday; Philip performs a rap he composed and amazes his father. Meanwhile, Angelica convinces Alexander to convince Jefferson of his plan so Congress will accept it. Both women invite him to travel uptown to the home of Philip Schuyler: Alexander refuses, saying that he needs time to work on his plan for Congress.
