Alexander Hamilton (From Hamilton)
How does a bastard orphan son of a w***e
- How does a bastard orphan son of a w***e
- And a Scotsman
- Dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot in the Caribbean
- Grow up to be a hero and a scholar
- The 10 dollar
- Founding father without a father
- Got a lot farther by working a lot harder
- By being a lot smarter
- By being a self starter
- By fourteen they placed him in charge of a trading charter
- And everyday 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 devastation reigned
- A man saw his future drip dripping 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
- And 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
- There's a million thing I haven't done
- But just you wait just you wait
- When he was 10 his father split
- Full of it debt ridden
- Two years later see Alex and his mother bed ridden
- Half dead sitting 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 nothing but ruined pride
- Something new inside
- A voice saying Alex you gotta fend for yourself
- He started retreating and reading every treatise on the shelf
- There woulda been nothing left to do
- For someone less astute
- He woulda been dead and destitute
- Without a cent of restitution
- Started working clerking for his late mother's landlord
- Trading sugar cane and rum and all the things he can't afford
- Scamming for every book he can get his hands on
- Planning for the future see him now as he stands on
- 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
- Just you wait
- In 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 you time
- Oh Alexander Hamilton
- When America sings for you
- Will they know what you overcame
- Will they know you rewrote the game
- The world will never be the same oh
- The ship is in the harbor now
- See if you can spot him
- Just you wait
- Another immigrant Comin' up from the bottom
- Just you wait
- His enemies destroyed his rep America forgot him
- We fought with him
- Me I died for him
- Me I trusted him
- Me I loved him
- And me I'm the d**n fool that shot him
- There's a million things I haven't done
- But just you wait
- What's your name man
- Alexander Hamilton
