How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore, and a scotsman dropped in a middle of a forgotten spot in the carribean, grow up to be a hero and a scholar? The ten dollar, founding father without a father got alot farther by working alot harder by being alot smarter by being a self starter, by fourteen, they place him in charge of a trading charter. And everyday, while slaves were being carted away across the waves, he struggled to kept his guard up, inside he was longing for something to be apart of, the brother was ready to beg,steal,borrow or barter. And then the hurricane came and devistation rained, 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 mainlands, get your education, and dont 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. But just you wait. When he was ten, father split full of it debt ridden two years, now 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 would'a been nothing left to do for someone less astute, he would'a been dead or destitute without a cent of restitution, started working! clerking for his later mother's landlord, trading sugar cane and rum and all the things he can't afford! Scammin, for every book he could get his hands on, Plannin! for the future see him now as he stands on the bow of the ship, headed for a new land, in new york you can be a new man! In new york, you can be a new man. In new york you can be a new man. In new york! New york! Just you wait! Alexander Hamilton, we are waiting in the wings for you, you could never back down, you never learn to take your time -oh Alexander Hamilton! When america sings for you, will they know you overcame? will they know you re-wrote the game, the world.. will never be the same! The ship is in the harbor now see if you can spot him, another immigrant comin 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. And me? im the damn fool that shot him! There's a million things i haven't done but just you wait! What's your name man? Alexander hamilton
