Alexander Hamilton

How does a bastard orphan son of a whore and a

  • How does a bastard orphan son of a whore and a
  • Scotsman dropped in the middle of a forgotten
  • Spot in the Caribbean by providence impoverished in squalor
  • Grow up to be a hero and a scholar
  • The ten-dollar founding father without a father
  • Got a lot farther by workin' a lot harder
  • By bein' a lot smarter
  • By bein' a self-starter
  • By fourteen they placed him in charge of a trading charter
  • And every day while slaves were being slaughtered and carted
  • Away across the waves he struggled and kept his guard up
  • Inside he was longing for something to be a part of
  • The brother was ready to beg steal borrow or barter
  • Then a hurricane came and devastation reigned
  • Our man saw his future drip drippin' down the drain
  • Put a pencil to his temple connected it to his brain
  • And he wrote his first refrain a testament to his pain
  • Well the word got around they said this kid is insane man
  • Took up a collection just to send him to the mainland
  • Get your education don't forget from whence you came and
  • The world's gonna know your name what's your name man
  • Alexander Hamilton
  • My name is Alexander Hamilton
  • And there's a million things I haven't done
  • But just you wait just you wait
  • When he was ten his father split full of it debt-ridden
  • Two years later see Alex and his mother bed-ridden
  • Half-dead sittin' in their own sick
  • The scent thick
  • And Alex got better but his mother went quick
  • Moved in with a cousin the cousin committed suicide
  • Left him with nothin' but ruined pride somethin' new inside
  • A voice saying
  • Alex you gotta fend for yourself
  • He started retreatin' and readin' every treatise on the shelf
  • There would've been nothin' left to do
  • For someone less astute
  • He would've been dead and destitute
  • Without a cent of restitution
  • Started workin' clerkin' for his late mother's landlord
  • Tradin' sugar cane and rum and other things he can't afford
  • Scammin' for every book he can get his hands on
  • Plannin' for the future see him now as he stands on oooh
  • The bow of a ship headed for a new land
  • In New York you can be a new man
  • In New York you can be a new man just you wait
  • In New York you can be a new man just you wait
  • In New York you can be a new man
  • In New York
  • New York
  • Just you wait
  • Alexander Hamilton Alexander Hamilton
  • We are waiting in the wings for you waiting in the wings for you
  • You could never back down
  • You never learned to take your time
  • Oh Alexander Hamilton Alexander Hamilton
  • When America sings for you
  • Will they know what you overcame
  • Will they know you rewrote the game
