They send me away to find them a fortune

A chest filled with diamonds and gold

The house was awake

With shadows and monsters

The hallways they echoed and groaned

My mind's like a deadly disease

I'm colder than this home

Wait For It - Hamilton (Leslie Odom Jr.)
One of my favorite songs from the musical! Continuing the series I started a while back of finding the notes for the Hamilton songs that contained minimal rap verses in them :)
