What important event from Hamilton's life does this stanza recount? 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?”

Many of his family members passed away, and he saw his future slipping away, but he would not let it.

btw the musical ends with hamilton throwing away his shot and burr not waiting for it like what the heck lol
