How does a bastard orphan

Son of a w***e

And a Scotsman

dropped in the middle of a forgot spot in the caribbean by providence impoverished
In squalor, grow up to be a hero and a scholar?

The $10

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 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, dripping down the drain
Put a pencil to his temple, connected it to

You can't do that much...

His bRaIn

and he wrote his first refrain, a testament to his pain

{great job you got it stuck in my head.}

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 is gonna know your name
What's your name, man?

Ok, Augie, I feel like you should only do one line at a time. It's kind of unfair that you're doing so many.

oh fine but i just like the song.

Yeah, who doesn't?! But you gotta hold back. It's not fair

hey, you got it stuck in my head, now im remembering all the lurics

can you believe RBG died?

Well...you don't have to post them...

Alexander Hamilton

My name is Alexander Hamilton

you got your wish cause gtg

And there’s a million things I haven’t done...

I never said I wanted you gone...all I said was that you should post like 5 lines of the song...

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 sitten in there own sick the stench think. 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 retreatin and readin ever treatise on the shelf

There would have been nothin' left to do for someone less astute
He woulda been dead or destitute without a cent of restitution
Started workin', clerkin' for his late mother's landlord
Tradin' sugar cane and rum and all the 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
The bow of a ship headed for the new land
In New York you can be a new man

((Okay, maybe we should do a little less in one post and stick to 1-3 lines?))

((Ok))

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

Alexander Hamilton

Alexander Hamilton

(new man >In New York, New York. Just you waaaaaaait!< Alexander Hamilton)

We are waiting in the wings for you (waiting in the wings for you)

{boo}

You never back down you never learn to take your tIIIIIIIIME

Oh, Alexander Hamilton

(Alexander Hamilton)
When America sings for you

Will they know what you overcame?

Will they know you re-wrote the gaaaaame

The world will never be the saaaaaaaaaaaaaame!!

The ship is in the harbor now

See if you can spot him

Another Immigrant coming up from the bottom

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
