Alexander Hamilton Lyrics - Artist : Anthem Lights
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? 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 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 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 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 My name is Alexander Hamilton And there's a million things I haven't done Just you wait, just you wait... Alexander Hamilton (Alexander Hamilton) We are waiting in the wings for you (waiting in the wings for you) You could never back 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, oh The ship is in the harbor now See if you can spot him (Just you wait) Another immigrant Comin' up from the bottom His enemies destroyed his rep America forgot him There's a million things I haven't done But just you wait! What's your name, man? Alexander Hamilton! |
