Lyric
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
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
Lyric
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
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"
Lyric
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
bedridden
Half-dead
sittin'
in
their
own
sick,
the
scent
thick
Lyric
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,
something
new
inside
A
voice
saying,
"Alex,
you
gotta
fend
for
yourself"
He
started
retreatin;
and
readin'
every
treatise
on
the
shelf
There
would
have
been
nothin'
left
to
do
for
someone
less
astute
He
would've
been
dead
or
destitute
without
a
cent
of
restitution
Started
workin',
clerkin'
for
his
late
mother's
landlord
Tradin'
sugar
cane
and
rum
Lyric
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
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,
Lyric
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?
The
world
will
never
be
the
same,
oh
The
ship
is
in
the
harbor
now
See
if
you
can
spot
him
(just
you
wait)
