CALLING ALL HAMILTON
CALLING ALL HAMILTON FANS!!!!!!!!!!
Ok. I have a plan. So on a lot of threads there are peope posting Hamilton finish the lyric stuff, and I just had an amazing idea. What if... we finished the entire musical? So this is basically a huge Hamilton finish the lyrics challenge. We start with the first song and see if we can keep it going to the end.
The Rules are:
1) Keep it clean. Say No to This may be a little tricky, but we can do it.
2) Wait for someone's comment to show up before your post. Unless you really want to. I guess it doesn't really matter.
3) Make sure everyone gets a chance to post. So, don't finish an entire song in one comment basically.
Aaaand I think that's it. Have fun. You may begin.

Yay!
Dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot in the Caribbean,
impoverished in squalor,
grow up to be a hero and a scholar?

This is the best.

I need no words, other than...
...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?
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 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

Then a hurrican came
And devastation reigned
Our man saw his fututre drip drippin' 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 to the main land
Get your education don't forget from whence you came
And the world's gnna know your name
WHATS YOUR NAME MAN???

When he was ten,
His father split, full of it
Debt-ridden
Two years later
See Alex and his mother bed-ridden
Half-dead, sittin in their own sick
The scent thick
(And Alex got better, but his mother went quick.)
Moved in with a cousin,
The cousin commited suicide,
Left him with nothing but ruined pride, something new inside,
A voice saying, Alex, you gotta fend for yourself
He started retreatin, and readin every treatise on the shelf

THERE WOULDA BEEN NOTHING ELSE TO DO FOR SOMEONE LESS ASTUTE
HE WOULDA BEEN DEAD OR DESTITUTE
WITHOUT A CENT A RESTATUTION
STARTED WORKIN' CLERKIN' FOR HIS LATE MOTHER'S LANDLORD
TRADIN' SUGAR CANE 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 ON THE BOW OF A SHIP
HEADIN' FOR A NEW LAND!
(Hehe... Sorry. Hamilton fan girl takeover.)

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
When America sings for you
Will they know what you overcame?
Will they know you rewrote your game?
The world will never be the same, oh
The ship is in the harbor now
See if you can spot him
Another immigrant comin' up from the bottom
His enemies destroyed his rep America forgot him

[Lafayette + Mulligan (I think)]
We fought with him
[Washington]
Me? I trusted him
[Laurens]
Me? I died for him
[Angelica, Eliza, + Mariah]
Me? I loved him
[The fool, Burr]
And me... I'm the d--- fool that shot him!
