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
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, dont forget from whence you came, and
The worlds gonna know your name, whats your name, man
Alexander Hamilton 
We are waiting in the wings for you 
You could never back down
You never learned to take your time
Oh, Alexander Hamilton 
America sings for you
Will they know what you overcame?
Will they know you rewrote the game?
The world will never be the same, Alexander
Youll be back
Soon youll see
Youll remember you belong to me
Youll be back
Time will tell
Youll remember that I served you well
Oceans rise, empires fall
We have seen each other through it all
And when push comes to shove
I will send a fully armed battalion to remind you of my love
Da dada da da
Da dadada dayada
Dada da da dayada
Da dada da da
Da dadada dayada
Dada da da da
I am not throwing away my shot
I am not throwing away my shot
Hey yo, Im just like my country
Im young, scrappy, and hungry
And Im not throwing away my shot
Ima get scholarship to Kings College
I probably shouldnt brag, but dag, I amaze and astonish
The problem is I got a lot of brains, but no polish
I gotta holler just to be heard
With every word, I drop knowledge
I know the action in the street is excitin
But Jesus, between all the bleedin and fightin
Ive been readin and writin
We need to handle our financial situation
Are we a nation of states, whats the state of our nation
Im past patiently waitin! Im passionately smashin every expectation
Every actions an act of creation
Im laughin in the face of casualties and sorrow
For the first time, Im thinkin past tomorrow
And I am not throwin away my shot
I am not throwin away my shot
Hey, yo, Im just like my country
Im young, scrappy, and hungry
And Im not throwin away my shot
I am not throwin away my shot
I am not throwin away my shot
Time to take a shot
Take a shot
And I am not throwing away my
Not throwing away my shot
You will come of age with our young nation
Well bleed and fight for you
Well make it right for you
If we lay a strong enough foundation
Well pass it on to you
Well give the world to you and youll blow us all away
Someday, someday
Yeah youll blow us all away
I wanna be in
The room where it happens
The room where it happens
The room where it happens
I wanna be in
The room where it happens
The room where it happens
The room where it happens
No one really knows how the game is played
The art of the trade
How the sausage gets made
We just assume that it happens
But no one else is in
The room where it happens
I saved every letter you wrote me
From the moment I read them
I knew you were mine
You said you were mine
I thought you were mine
Oh, I cant wait to see you again
Its only a matter of
Time
Will they tell your story
Time
Who lives, who dies, who tells your story
Time
Will they tell your story
Time
Who lives, who dies, who tells your story
