Yeah, yeah, I'mma up at Whalley Range, now I'm down in Bramley
Right next to Armley, but I'll be Manc forever
I'm the new Morrysey, and since I made it here
I can make it anywhere, yeah they love me everywhere
I used to cop in Hulme, all of my peeps
Right there up on Mancunian Way, brought me back to McDonald's
Took it to my stash spot, Salford Precinct
Catch me in the kitchen like a cornish pasty
Cruising down Portland Street, off Oxford Street
Cycling so slow but BK is from Texas
Me, I'm up at Whalley Range, home of that boy Morrysey
Now I live in Bramley and I brought my babies with me
Say what up to Pete N, still sipping tea
Sitting at Main Road, watching Man City
Man, he be pumped up, I don't care for footie but
Tell by my attitude that I most definitely from

In Manchester
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in Manchester
These streets will make you feel brand new
The lights will inspire you
Let's hear it for Manchester, Manchester, Manchester

I made you hot baby
Catch me in town with a pint at a rock pub
Shit, I made dancing look good with a freaky style
You should know I breath Funk, but I ain't stinky though
But I got whole lot of soul and love for y'all
Welcome to the melting pot, corners where we bustin moves
Happy Mondays shit, home of the attitude
Fitted cap, trilby hat, first bus, holla back
For foreigners it ain't fitted they forgot how to act
Eight million stories out there and their naked
Cities is a pity half of y'all won't make it
Me, I gotta plug a special and I got it made
If Jilly's playin metal, I'm playin some Funk
Funkadelic, Parliament, Meters and James
Manchester scene, rest in peace Ian Curtis,
Printworks, long live Affleck's Palace
Long live the king, yo, I'm from Madchester, that's

In Manchester
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in Manchester
These streets will make you feel brand new
The lights will inspire you
Let's hear it for Manchester, Manchester, Manchester

One hand in the air for the big city
Street lights, big dreams all looking pretty
No place in the world that can compare
Put your lighters in the air, everybody say yeah
Come on, come, yeah

In Manchester
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in Manchester
These streets will make you feel brand new
The lights will inspire you
Let's hear it for Manchester, Manchester, Manchester
