"Alexander Hamilton" is a song from the musical Hamilton that tells the story of Alexander Hamilton's rise from a poor, orphaned immigrant to a Founding Father of the United States. The song begins with Aaron Burr questioning how Hamilton, a bastard orphan from the Caribbean, could become a hero and scholar. The song then goes on to describe Hamilton's early life and struggles, including his mother's death, his own illness, and his determination to educate himself. The song ends with the company singing about Hamilton's legacy and the impact he had on American history, culminating in Burr asking for Hamilton's name.

So, let me get this straight. This song is about a guy named Alexander Hamilton who basically had everything stacked against him from the beginning. He had a deadbeat dad, a whore for a mom, and was living in the middle of nowhere. But somehow he went from being bedridden to becoming a self-made man. He's like the ultimate hustler. He worked harder, was smarter, and was a self-starter all before he even hit puberty. And, oh yeah, he was in charge of a trading charter at the age of 14. That's like being a CEO before you even start high school! Then a hurricane comes and he’s like "oh you think you can take me down? I'll show you!" He writes the first of many damn good songs about his pain and the world takes notice. People start whispering, “this guy is insane, we need to collect money to send him to the mainland to get him educated, because he's going to be somebody one day." And let's not forget, he's also a ladies' man because he's got all these women saying, "Me? I loved him." But then, of course, his arch-nemesis Burr has to go and shoot him, making him the damn fool that shot him. So after all that, when people ask, "What's your name, man?" He can proudly say, "Alexander Hamilton!"
