ima get a scholarship to kings college. probably shouldn’t brag but dang I amaze and astonish. the problem is a got a lot of brains but no polish. I try to be heard with every word I drop knowledge

I’m a diamond in the rough , a shiny piece of coal, tryin to reach my goal, my power of speech in unimpeachable

only 19 but my mind is older, these New York City streets gettin colder, I shoulder every burden every disadvantage I’m learned to manage I don’t have a gun to brandish, I walk these streets famished. my plan is to fan this spark into a flame. but “dam” it’s gettin dark so let me spell out my name, I am the AL EX AN D ER we are meant to be a colony that runs independently, meanwhile Britain keep ‘spittin’ on us endlessly. ESSENTIALLY they tax us relentlessly, then king George turn around and runs a spending spree

Eventually you’ll see my ascendancy

I am not throwing away my shot. I am not throwing away my shot. hey yo I’m just like my country I’m young scrappy and hungry but I’m not throwing away my shot. I am not throwing away my shot, I am not throwing away my shot. hey yo I’m just like my country I am young scrappy and hungry but I’m not throwing away my shot. it’s time to take a shot!
