Hamilton!
I was thinking...what if we try to write all the lyrics out here, and actually finish it? I don't think the CB has ever completed writing them, so let's give it a shot! (See what I did there? ;) But we will need rules.
1: If you see that a comment was posted but hasn't shown up yet, don't post.
2: If there are bad words, write ****.
3: Have fun!

Yes please? I'll start:
How does a *******, orphan, son of a ***** 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?
~~
Anyone feel free to continue.

I'll keep it going.
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 14
They placed him in charge of a trading charger!
Remember, check that all comments have shown up before you post!

*it's actually trading charter, not trading charger
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

Oops! I think that was a typo. *insert face slap emoji*

Then a hurricane came and
Devastation rained
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?

My name is ALEXANDER HAMILTON.... and there's a million things I haven't done, just you wait, JUST YOU WAIT!

When he was ten his father split, full of it, debt-ridden
Two years later see Alex and his mother ridden!!
Half-dead, sitting in their own sick, the scent thick
And Alex got better but his mother went quick.
(yep, all three of my AEs know Hamilton)
(October 22, 2020 - 8:12 pm)
Moved in with a cousin, the cousin--
(...actually never mind the cousin)
Left him with nothing but ruined pride
something new inside
A voice saying
"Alex, you gotta think for yourself"
(October 22, 2020 - 10:28 pm)
Oh, the cousin.
Darn it I was gonna add lyrics but I have to go to class I promise I'll be on this thread later byeeeee

He started retreatin’ and readin’ 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 *** and all the things he can’t afford
sidenote, the stars are because I’m not sure if that word would be allowed
(October 24, 2020 - 10:29 am)
@Dolphin probably it wouldn't.
Anyways:
Scammin' for
Every book he could get his hands on
plannin' for the future
see him now as he stands on the bow of the ship
heading for a new land.
In New York you can be a new man
(October 24, 2020 - 1:33 pm)
In New York you cab be a new man
In New York
New York
Just you wait
Alexander Hamiltion
Alexander Hamilton
We are waiting in the wings for you
You never back down you never learn to take your time
Oh, Alexander Hamilton
America sings for you
If we know what you overcame
If we know you reworte the game
The world
Will never be the same, Oh
The ship is in the harbor now
See if you can spot him
Another immagrint com'in from the bottom
His enemies destroyed his rep
America forgot him
We fought for him
Me, I died for him
Me, I trusted him
Me, I loved him
And me? I'm the **** fool that shot him
There's a million things I haven't done
But just you wait
Just you wait
What's your name man?
Alexander Hamilton
