Burr 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?
Laurens 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
Jefferson 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
Madison 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
Burr 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?
Hamilton Alexander hamilton My name is alexander hamilton And there's a million things I haven't done But just you wait, just you wait
Eliza When he was ten his father split, full of It, debt-ridden Two years later, see alex and his mother bed-ridden Half-dead sittin in their own sick The scent thick
Company And alex got better but his mother went quick
Washington Moved in with a cousin, the cousin committed suicide Left him with nothin' but ruined pride, something New inside A voice saying
Washington & company Alex, you gotta fend for yourself!
Washington He started retreatin' and readin' every treatise on the Shelf
Burr 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 a new land In new york you can be a new man
Company In new york you can Be a new man! In new york you can Be a new man!
Hamilton Just you wait!
Hamilton Just you wait!
Company In new york you can be a new man! In new york New york!
Hamilton Just you wait!
Company Alexander hamilton We are waiting in the wings for you You could never back down You never learned to take your time! Oh, 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
Burr 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
Mulligan & Lafayette We fought with him
Laurens Me? I died for him
Washington Me? I trusted him
Eliza Me? I loved him
Burr And me? I'm the damn fool that shot him
Hamilton There's a million things I haven't done But just you wait!
Burr What's your name, man?
Company Alexander hamilton!
