(Verse 1)
I grew up where the wheat meets the sky,
Out on the plains, where the dust don’t lie.
From K-State pride to a New York hustle,
I learned how to work, put muscle on muscle.
With every deal I make, and every risk I take,
I can see the Kansas fields in every trade I make.

(Chorus)
I got a lot of Manhattan in me,
From the farm to the city, I’m here and free.
From hard work and grit to the bright city lights,
I’m doin’ it my way, keepin’ it right.
I’ll keep my boots dirty, my spirit clean,
’Cause I got a lot of Man-hattan in me.

(Verse 2)
I learned resilience, when the crops were down,
Turned every loss into a Wall Street crown.
Financials growin’, just like those Kansas fields,
With a farmer’s heart, I got more than just skills.
Collaboration taught me, I don’t ride alone,
With every friend I make, I’m buildin’ my throne.

(Chorus)
I got a lot of Manhattan in me,
From the farm to the city, I’m here and free.
From hard work and grit to the bright city lights,
I’m doin’ it my way, keepin’ it right.
I’ll keep my boots dirty, my spirit clean,
’Cause I got a lot of Man-hattan in me.

(Bridge)
I know my roots, but I’ve learned to fly,
On the wings of ambition that money can’t buy.
I keep my ethics strong, my integrity pure,
With a Kansas work ethic, success is sure.
I’m humble but hungry, grounded but bold,
With K-State values, I’m strikin’ gold.

(Verse 3)
I innovate with every step I take,
I’m always lookin’ for a new way to break.
With strategic thinkin’, I plan my day,
Like plantin’ seeds, I earn my pay.
Risk management? Hell, that’s my game,
From the farm to Wall Street, it’s all the same.

(Chorus)
I got a lot of Manhattan in me,
From the farm to the city, I’m here and free.
From hard work and grit to the bright city lights,
I’m doin’ it my way, keepin’ it right.
I’ll keep my boots dirty, my spirit clean,
’Cause I got a lot of Man-hattan in me.

(Outro)
So when they ask where I come from, I’ll say,
“I’m a Kansas boy, but I found my way.
Through every dollar earned, every deal that’s made,
I keep my roots, and I’m not afraid to trade.”
I got a lot of Man-hattan in me,
And that’s how I’ll always be.
