How does the bastard, orphan, son of a whore

Hamilton flinched slightly at his mother being disregarded as a 'whore'. Yes, she was classed as a 'whore', but that was merely because of his mother's previous lover, Johann Michael Lavien. Burr noticed the flinch almost immediately and felt slightly guilty, even if it wasn't him saying these words he still felt guilt.

Go on and on
Grow into more of a phenomenon?

I used to ask myself that every day, Jefferson thought sadly as he remembered seeing the look on Esperanza's face when he visited the woman after her husband's untimely death. It hurt to see her so ad, so heartbroken, yet prepared to look after all of her children and be in poverty. He was trying to give her money for simple necessities like clothes and food, but she refused it. One day you'll accept, Angel, one day.

Watch this obnoxious,

Am I obnoxious?

Arrogant

I'm not arrogant, am I?

Loudmouth bother

Am I really considered a bother?

Laurens, who was sat beside Hamilton, noticed his face change immediately and quickly got Washington's attention who grabbed the man's hand to ground him. Although it was evident it didn't work, Washington refused to let go of the man's hand knowing how his mind worked whenever he was given the chance to just think.

"You're not any of those things, Alexander," Washington murmured into the man's ear before focusing on the show once more. Hamilton wanted to believe him, he truly did, but how could he? If his best friend thought of him that way, who's to say that's not what he's like? He was obnoxious, he was arrogant, and he was a bother to everyone around him. "I mean it, Alexander, you are not obnoxious, you are not arrogant, and your sure as hell are not a bother to anyone here." Hamilton stayed silent but did inch closer to the man to find more of the reassurance he never knew he needed.

Be seated at the right hand of the father
Washington hires Hamilton right on sight
But Hamilton still wants to fight, not write
Now Hamilton's skill with a quill is undeniable
But what do we have in common?
We're reliable with the

Ladies

There are so many to deflower

"Excuse me?" asked Angelica. Burr just shrugged.

Ladies

Looks
Proximity to power

Ladies

They delighted and distracted him

Foreshadowing, Philip thought as he pulled Al closer to him as well after seeing him trying to hide a yawn. That was definitely foreshadowing, like the one from the second song with Laurens.

Martha Washington named her feral tomcat after him

"Not true," Washington chimed as Hamilton's actor spoke.

That's true

Seventeen-eighty

A winter's ball
And the Schuyler sisters are the envy of all
Yo, if you can marry a sister, you're rich, son

Is it a question of if, Burr, or which one?

"Alexander?" Peggy asked, looking at the cocky bastard who refused to look at the three ladies, or the miniature version of his lover beside him. everyone noticed, Washington just giving the man – no, the boy's - hand a gentle squeeze.

Father really took Burr's actor's words to heart, didn't he? Philip thought sadly as he watched his father for a moment before looking at the two sleeping boys on his lap and looking at the screen once more.

Hey
Hey
Hey hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

It was clear, as the next song started, that Hamilton was not in a good position mentally, yet they continued. If he gets worse after this, thought a certain general, I'll try to get him to sleep. Aspen and Washington made eye contact and nodded to each other, knowing what to do if any further songs get to him at all.
