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 is gonna know your name
What’s your name, man?
Alexander Hamilton
Can also be an adorable douche bag

I walk these streets famished. The plan is to fan out this spark into flame. But damn, it's getting dark let me spell out my name: I am the A-L-E-X-A-N-D-E-R we are meant to be.

A ten dollar bill. Humorous analogy with benjamins for 100 dollar bills, used in the Saturday Night Live video "Lazy Sunday" by Andy Samburg and Chris Parnell.

A bastard, orphan, son of a whore and a Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot in the Caribbean, by providence, impoverished and squalor, who became a hero and a scholar
Eliza (Hamilton's wife), went on to tell his story. She kept Hamilton in her heart for her whole life even after everything that happened.

a broadway musical about this guy who is never satisfied. he was born in the carribean into a poor family. he was a bastard, orphan, a son of a whore who eventually goes to new york and wants to rise to the top and ‘make a difference.’ he meets this guy aaron burr, who is rly awesome and better than him in every was shape and form. he gifts in the revolutionary war against britain and meets this girl eliza at a ball one day. her sister is madly in love w/ him but it’s whatever. he becomes a politician, gets her preggy, and runs off to only get buried in his work and have an affair with maria reynolds. his son phillip gets shot and dies on his rise to the top. you would think that would slow him down, but he becomes the 1st treasurer of america, so no. he has to take his shot ! btw remember that guy aaron burr? he kills alexander,, the end
friends: can you shut up, what are you singing?!?!!!?!?
me: hamilton, the greatest musical everrrrRrrrrrRrrR
