My internal clock is set at Manhattan
I face the world with a jaded point of view
Manhattanites are chauvinistic, snobbish, opinionated
And relentlessly focused
Manhattan energy drives our universe
Like the taxies forge the streets
In a frontal assault
Art, history and multiculturalism
Remain the melting *** of stew
Brewed from micro to macro
But always after the brass ring
Always reaching upward
Like the skyscrapers of today and yore
Clamoring to be the tallest in the world
Yet knowing that we already are
Simply because we’re Manhattanites
Faith in our own destiny
We’re Manhattanites after all
And being a Manhattanite
Is all that needs to be said
