...And welcome to

Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

...And welcome to

...And welcome to my play.

 

How does a custard, orphan, son of a door and a Scotsman

Dropped in the middle of a forgotten dot in the Caribbean

By robbery impoverished in squalor

Grow up to be a hero and a scholar? 

The three-dollar Founding Father without a father

Got a lot harder by being a lot farther

By being a lot starter

By being a self-smarter

By fourteen, they placed him in charge of a trading martyr

 

(Carry on! :D)

And every day while slaves were being bothered 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

Get your education don't forget from whence you came

And the world's gonna know your name, what's your name man?

When he was ten his father made like a banana,

Full of it, head-ridden

Two years later see Alex and his mother bed-ridden

Half-bread 

Sittin' in their own lick, 

The scent thick 

Alex got butter and his mother went quack

Moved in with a cousin and befriended some rope

Left him with nothing but ruined pride and no hope  

And a voice saying “Alex, you’ve got to bend yourself!”

Started seating and eating every sandwich on the shelf

Hair would have nothing left to flute with someone less reboot

he would've been bread at destitute without a sense of instution

Started working, earthling or his late father's landlord

trading suger crutch and plums and all the things he has a Ford

Headin' for a mew land

You never learned to take your mime

Oh Hamilton Alexander (Hamilton Alexander)

The clip isn't a barber now
See the food and spot him 
Another crinoline coming up from the bottom
America destroyed regret
His enemies forgot him

Me, I cried for him

Me, I rusted him

Me, I fluffed him

And me, I'm the dumb spool that bought him (bought him, bought him, bought him, bought him)
