How does the bastard, orphan,
son of a whore and a Scotsman,
dropped in the middle of a forgotten,
spot in the Carribian by poverished and squalor,
"You did all that?" Laurens asked.
"Yep" Hamilton replied
grow up to be a hero and a scholar,
the ten dollar, founding father without a father,
"They put you on a coin" Washington asked, "I always knew you were something special, son"
"I'm not you son"
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 charder,
"Fourteen?" Jefferson asked in disbelief.
and everyday, while slaves were being carted and slaughtered,
"Booooooo!" John Laurens called.
away across the waves, he struggled and kept his guard up,
inside he was struggling for something to be a part of,
our brother was ready to beg, steal, borrow, or barter,
"Isn't that illegal?" Jefferson asked.
then a hurricane came, devastation reigned,
Our hero 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,
testement to his pain,
well the word got around,
they said, 'this kid is insane, man',
"That's true" Thomas whispered to Maddison.
took up a collection just to send him to the main land,
'get your education,
don't forget from whence you came,
and the worlds gonna know your name,
what's your name man',
Alexander Hamilton,
John, Laffyette, and Hercules cheered
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,
Eliza gave Alexander an appoligetical look.
two years later see Alex and his mother bed ridden,
half dead, sitting in their own sick, the scent thick,
then Alex got better but his mother went quick,
The room fell silent and everyone turned to Alexander. He just waved them away.
Moved in with a cousin, the cousin committed suicide,
Again everyone gave Alexander pittying looks.
left him with ruined pride,
something new inside,
a voice saying 'Alex you got to fend for yourself',
he started retreating and reading every treaty on the self,
there would have been nothing else to do,
for someone else with astute,
he would dead at destitute,
without a scence of restitude,
he started work, clerking for his late mothers landlord,
trading sugar cane and rum and all the things he can't afford,
skaming for every book he could get his hands on,
planning for the future,
see him now as he stands on,
the bow of a ship heading for a new land,
in New York you can be a new man,
"So true" Lafyatte stated.
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(Alexander Hamilton),
We are waiting in the wings for you(waiting in the wings for you),
you never backed down you never learned to take your,
TIME,
"That's for sure." Jefferson said. Everyone else shushed him.
oh, Alexander Hamilton(Alexander Hamilton),
America sings for you,
Will they know what you overcame,
will they know you rewrote the game,
"Now they do" Burr said.
the world will never be the same,
the ship is in the harbor now see if you can spot him(just you wait),
Another immigrant coming up from the bottom,
his enemys destroyed his rep, America forgot him,
"How could we be here if everyone forgot him" Maddison asked. Everyone nodded in agreement.
We fought with him,
"Yeah we did" Hercules shouted along with Lafyette and John.
Me, I died for him,
John spit out his drink, "What" Hamilton scooted over to sit next to John and wrapped his arms around him.
Me, I trusted him,
"I still do" Washington said.
Me, I loved him,
"And I will always" Eliza said, reaching over to pat Alexander's leg, who was still wrapped around Laurens.
And me, I'm the damn fool that shot him,
"What" Burr cried. Washington moved over from the end of the couch to Burrs other side to keep them apart.
theres a million things I haven't done,
"That's for sure" Jefferson said to try and lighten the mood. No one laughted
but just you wait,
what's your name man,
Alexander Hamilton
The wall went dark. Everyone sat in silence.
"I need to use the bathroom" Jefferson said before getting up.
