[AARON BURR]

How a bastard, an orphan, a whore son and a

Scotsman, fallen in the middle of a forgotten

Spot in the Caribbean by providence, impoverished, in misery

Do you believe to be a hero and a scholar?

[JOHN LAURENS]

The founding father of ten dollars without a father

Have much further by working much harder

By being much smarter

Being a self-starter

At the age of fourteen, they placed her in charge of a commercial charter

[THOMAS JEFFERSON]

And every day, while the slaves were slaughtered and taken away

Through the waves, he struggled and kept his guard

Inside, he wanted something to be part of

The brother was ready to beg, steal, borrow or exchange

[JAMES MADISON]

Then a hurricane came, and devastation reigned

Our man saw his future drip in the drain

Put a pencil on his temple, tied it to his brain

And he wrote his first refrain, a testimony of his pain

[Burr]

Well, the word went, they said, "This kid is crazy, dude"

I took a collection just to send it to the mainland

"Get your education, do not forget where you came from, and

The world will know your name. What's your name, man?

[ALEXANDER HAMILTON]

Alexander Hamilton

My name is Alexander Hamilton

And there are a million things I have not done

But you wait, wait ...

[ELIZA HAMILTON]

At the age of ten, his father separated, full of money

Two years later, see Alex and his mother on the bed

Half-death sitting in their own sick, thick smell

[COMPLETE COMPLETE EXCEPT HAMILTON (whisper)]

And Alex got better but his mother went fast

[GEORGE WASHINGTON]

Moved with a cousin, the cousin committed suicide

He left it with the pride of nothing but ruin, something new inside

A voice saying

[WASHINGTON]

"You have to defend yourself." [BUSINESS]

"Alex, you have to get by."

[WASHINGTON]

He began to withdraw and read all the treatises on the shelf

[Burr]

There would be nothing left to do

For someone less clever

He would have been dead or destitute

Without a hundred restitution

Started working, clerkin 'for the owner of his late mother

Tradin 'sugar cane and rum and all the things he can not afford

Scammin 'for each book on which he can take the hand

Plannin 'for the future sees it now as it rises

The bow of a ship made for a new earth

In New York, you can be a new man

[COMPANY]

Scammin '

Plannin '

Oooh ...

[COMPANY]

In New York, you can

Be a new man,

In New York, you can

Be a New Man ... [HAMILTON]

Hold on!

Hold on!

[COMPANY]

In New York, you can be a new man,

[WOMEN]

At New York-

[MEN]

New York-

[Hamilton]

Hold on!

[COMPANY]

Alexander Hamilton

We wait behind the scenes for you

You could never back down

You never learned to take your time!

Oh, Alexander Hamilton

When America Sings for You

Do they know what you have overcome?

Do they know you rewrote the game?

The world will never be the same, oh

[Burr]

The ship is in the port now

See if you can spot it

Another immigrant

Coming from the bottom

His enemies destroyed his representative

America forgets it

[COMPANY]

Alexander Hamilton

Waiting behind the scenes for you

You never learned to take your time!

Oh, Alexander Hamilton

Alexander Hamilton ...

[MULLIGAN / MADISON & LAFAYETTE / JEFFERSON]

We fought with him

[LAURENS / PHILIP]

Me? I died for him

[WASHINGTON]

Me? I trusted him

[ELIZA & ANGELICA & PEGGY / MARIA]

Me? I liked it

[Burr]

And me? I'm the fuck that hit him

[COMPANY]

There are a million things I have not done

But you wait!

[Burr]

What's his name, man?

[COMPANY]

Alexander Hamilton!
