Just You Wait...

So. New hyperfocus. I'm in love...

How does a b_____d,

orphan,

son of a w____,

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?

The 10 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 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 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...

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's gonna know your name...- What's your name man?"

Alexander Hamilton.

My name is Alexander Hamilton.

And there's a million thing I haven't done...

But just you wait,

just you wait...
