เนื้อเพลง
0:03How does a bastard orphan son of a w***e and a
0:08Scotsman dropped in the middle of a forgotten
0:11Spot in the Caribbean by providence impoverished in squalor
0:16Grow up to be a hero and a scholar
0:19The ten-dollar Founding Father without a father
0:22Got a lot farther by workin' a lot harder
0:25By bein' a lot smarter
0:27By bein' a self-starter
0:29By fourteen they placed him in charge of a trading charter
0:34And every day while slaves were being slaughtered and carted
0:37Away across the waves he struggled and kept his guard up
0:41Inside he was longing for something to be a part of
0:45The brother was ready to beg steal borrow or barter
0:49Then a hurricane came and devastation reigned
0:52Our man saw his future drip drippin' down the drain
0:56Put a pencil to his temple connected it to his brain
1:00And he wrote his first refrain a testament to his pain
1:03Well the word got around they said this kid is insane man
1:08Took up a collection just to send him to the mainland
1:11Get your education don't forget from whence you came and
1:15The world's gonna know your name what's your name man
1:19Alexander Hamilton
1:22My name is Alexander Hamilton
1:26And there's a million things I haven't done
1:29But just you wait just you wait
1:34When he was ten his father split full of it debt-ridden
1:38Two years later see Alex and his mother bed-ridden
1:41Half-dead sittin' in their own sick
1:44The scent thick
1:45And Alex got better but his mother went quick
1:49Moved in with a cousin the cousin committed suicide
1:53Left him with nothin' but ruined pride somethin' new inside
1:57A voice saying
1:58Alex you gotta fend for yourself
2:00He started retreatin' and readin' every treatise on the shelf
2:04There would have been nothin' left to do
2:05For someone less astute
2:07He woulda been dead or destitute
2:09Without a cent of restitution
2:10Started workin' clerkin' for his late mother's landlord
2:14Tradin' sugar cane and rum and all the things he can't afford
2:18Scammin' for every book he can get his hands on
2:21Plannin' for the future see him now as he stands on oooh
2:25The bow of a ship headed for a new land
2:28In New York you can be a new man
2:32In New York you can be a new man just you wait
2:36In New York you can be a new man just you wait
2:39In New York you can be a new man
2:43In New York
2:44New York
2:44Just you wait
2:46Alexander Hamilton Alexander Hamilton
2:50We are waiting in the wings for you waiting in the wings for you
2:53You could never back down
2:55You never learned to take your time
3:00Oh Alexander Hamilton Alexander Hamilton
3:04When America sings for you
3:07Will they know what you overcame
3:10Will they know you rewrote the game
3:14The world will never be the same oh
3:22The ship is in the harbor now see if you can spot him
3:25Just you wait
3:26Another immigrant comin' up from the bottom
3:28Just you wait
3:29His enemies destroyed his rep America forgot him
3:32We fought with him
3:34Me I died for him
3:36Me I trusted him
3:37Me I loved him
3:39And me I'm the damn fool that shot him
3:43There's a million things I haven't done
3:46But just you wait
3:49What's your name man
