文本歌词

How does a bastard, orphan son of a whore and a Scotsman
Dropped in a 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 father by working a lot harder
By being a lot smarter
By being a self-starter
Be 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
The 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
But just you wait
Just you wait
Alexander Hamilton
We are waiting in the wings for you
You could never back down
You never learnt to take your time
Oh 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
