Something new inside, a voice saying ‘Alex you’ve gotta fend for yourself!’

He started retreatin' and reading every treatise on the shelf.

There would've been nothing left to do for someone less astute, he would've been dead or destitute without a cent of restitution.

Started working, clerking for his late mother's landlord, trading sugarcane and rum and all the things he can't afford.

SCAMMIN’ for every book he can get his hands on
PLANNIN’ for the future see him now as he stands on

The bow of a ship, heading to a new land.
In New York you can be a new man!

In New York, you can, be a new man.
In New York, you can, be a new man.
In New York, you can, be a new man.
In New York…
JUST YOU WAIT!!!

Alexander Hamilton!

We are waiting in the wings for you! You never back down, you never learn 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
Ooohhh

The ship is in the harbor now, see if you can spot him, another immigrant coming up from the bottom

His enemies destroyed his rep
America forgot him

We fought with him

Me? I died for him

Me? I trusted him

Me? I'm the dam fool that shot him

(it's a dam Percy Jackson thing you wouldn't understand)

(That dam snack bar)
There’s a million things I haven’t done
But just you WAAAAAAAIIIIIIIT

What’s your name, man?
ALEXANDER HAMILTON!!!

Dramatic final chord strike

Seventeen seventy-six…New York city…

Pardon me, are you Aaron Burr, sir?

Well that depends, who’s askin’?

Oh, sure, sir. I’m Alexander Hamilton, I’m at your service, sir…
I have been looking for you

I’m getting nervous

Sir, I heard your name at Princeton; I was seeking an accelerated course of study- when I got sort of out of sorts with a buddy of yours.. I may have punched him it’s a blur, sir… He handles the financials?

You punched the bursar?
Yes…

I wanted to do what you did! Graduate in two, then join the revolution he looked at me like I was stupid I’m not stupid
