Sorry there's no animatic I could do
ACT:1
Aaron 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 and impoverished in squalor
Grow up to be a hero and a scholar
John 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
Thomas Jefferson:
And everyday 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
James Madison:
Then a hurricane came
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's gonna know your name
What's your name man
Alexander Hamilton:
Alexander Hamilton
My name is Alexander Hamilton
There's a million things I haven't done
But just you wait, just you wait
Eliza Hamilton:
When he was ten his father split
Full of it, debt-ridden
Two years later 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
George Washington:
Moved in with the 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 retreated and reading
Every treatise on the shelf
Burr:
There would've been nothing left to Do for someone less astute
He would've been dead or destitute
Without a cent of restitution
Started working
Clerking for his late mother's landlord
Trading sugarcane and rum
And all the things he can't afford
Scamming for every book
He can 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
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
(New York)
Just you wait
Basically everyone:
Alexander Hamilton
(Alexander Hamilton)
We are waiting in the wings for you
(Waiting in the wing for you)
You never backed 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
Woah-oh-oh
Burr:
The ship is in the harbor now
See if you can spot him
(Just you wait)
Another immigrant coming up
From the bottom
His enemies destroyed his rep
America forgot him
Lafayette & Hercules Mulligan:
We, fought with him
Laurens:
Me, I died for him
Washington:
Me, I trusted him
Eliza, Angelica, and Maria
Me, I loved him
Burr:
And me, I'm the damn fool that shot him
There's a million things I haven't done
But just you wait
Burr:
What's your name man?
Everyone:
ALEXANDER HAMILTON!
A/N
I am obsessed with Hamilton so I deleted my old book with lyrics to random songs and changed it to
Hamilton!
So hope you like it
