36- Dallon Is Cancelled

Start from the beginning
                                    

[edit: since everyone's confuzzled, this song is in the media]

Pattycakes: 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?

Pepewentz: PATRICK I TOLD YOU TO STOP

Tyjo: wait what

spookyjim: I'm so confused

Forehead: OH MY GOD YES

Jacksfilms: 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

Geewhiz: what is this

Forehead: 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

Crankthatfrank: I'm extremely confused

Halsey: are y'all part of a cult without ME

Ben J.: 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

Ben J. added ThomasSandals to the chat.

ThomasSandals: wait what's going on

ThomasSandals: OH MY GOD HAMILTON

ThomasSandals: 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?

Jacksfilms: Alexander Hamilton
My name is Alexander Hamilton
And there's a million things I haven't done
But just you wait, just you wait

Forehead: 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

Dodie!: And Alex got better but his mother went quick

Fronk: well that's just depressing

Pattycakes: Moved in with a cousin, the cousin committed suicide
Left him with nothin' but ruined pride, something new inside voice saying
Alex, you gotta fend for yourself

Jacksfilms: He started retreatin' and readin' every treatise on the shelf

Tyjo: I'm still confused

ThomasSandals: 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

Halsey: WELL DAMN

ThomasSandals: I don't apologize

Ben J.: In New York you can be a new man
In New York you can be a new man
In New York you can be a new man
In New York you can be a new man   
Just you wait

Dodie!: Alexander Hamilton
We are waiting in the wings for you

Tyjo: this is the part I sort of know

Forehead: You could never back down
You never learned to take your time

Pattycakes: Oh, Alexander Hamilton

Jacksfilms: When America sings for you
Will they know what you overcame?
Will they know you rewrote your game?
The world will never be the same, oh

Ben. J.: The ship is in the harbor now
See if you can spot him

Dodie!: Another immigrant comin' up from the bottom

Forehead: His enemies destroyed his rep America forgot him   

ThomasSandals: We fought with him

Pattycakes: Me, I died for him

Dodie!: Me, I trusted him

Jacksfilms: Me, I loved him

Forehead: And me, I'm the damn fool that shot him

Giraffe: oH shit

Geewhiz: *airhorns*

Ben J.: There's a million things I haven't done
But just you wait

Forehead: What's your name, man?

Jacksfilms: ALEXANDER HAMILTON

Tyjo: *applauds*

Forehead: I want to be on broadway

Giraffe: one day :))

ThomasSandals: I don't even know you guys, but I already love you
