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 be 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 is gonna know your name
What's your name man
Alexander Hamilton
