What I knew about Alexander Hamilton

  • Before Hamiltunes dropped:  that white dude on the $10 who got shot by aaron burr lmao i watched got milk commercials
  • After Hamiltunes dropped:  a bastard, orphan, son of a whore and a scotsman dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot in the carribean, by providence impoverished in squalor, grew 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 everyday 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 rained and our man saw his future drip-dripping down the drain; put a pencil to his temple and 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, getcha education, don't forget from whence you came and the world is gonna know your name--what's your name, man? Alexander Hamilton, his name is Alexander Hamilton and there's a million things he hasn't done--but just you wait, just you wait~
