Welcome to Batmania by 03 Villain

Intro

Yeah, check it

Coal Bowl, Batmania

Y'all know what time it is

Verse 1

Back when they called it Batmania

Swanston Street dirt under the boot

Settlers pitched tents where the river bends

Now it's lanes and graffiti roots

My peoples been here since the gold rush days

Through the fog and the Yarra haze

Old town pubs and the backstreet graze

Melbourne grammar in a different phase

Chorus

Welcome to Batmania, welcome to the trap

Where the lanes got stories and the beats just clap

Welcome to Batmania, canvas on the bricks

South of the border where the whole crew kicks

Welcome to Batmania, welcome to the trap

Every corner concrete, every verse a map

Welcome to Batmania, never switchin' sides

From the bay to the north where the tribe resides

Verse 2

Footscray market, spice in the air

Sunrise over the West Gate, standing there

My man from the Dandenongs, my girl from Fitzroy

One mic, one beat, one collective joy

Pass the chalice 'round the circle, take a pull

Sample crackle through the SP-1200, full

9th Wonder drums with that Melbourne soul

Mobbin' through the CBD, we in control

Chorus

Welcome to Batmania, welcome to the trap

Where the lanes got stories and the beats just clap

Welcome to Batmania, canvas on the bricks

South of the border where the whole crew kicks

Welcome to Batmania, welcome to the trap

Every corner concrete, every verse a map

Welcome to Batmania, never switchin' sides

From the bay to the north where the tribe resides

Bridge

Three degrees of separation

Three emcees, three stations

Three perspectives from one foundation

Batmania, hold the conversation

Verse 3

Flinders station clocks, meet me under the dial

Late night trains and the platform style

Tram tracks singin' that electric hymn

Every face tells a story of where they been

Uni kids, old heads, hustlers in between

Graffiti kings and the DJs queen

Brunswick to St Kilda, one long green

Batmania dreams in the in-between

Chorus

Welcome to Batmania, welcome to the trap

Where the lanes got stories and the beats just clap

Welcome to Batmania, canvas on the bricks

South of the border where the whole crew kicks

Welcome to Batmania, welcome to the trap

Every corner concrete, every verse a map

Welcome to Batmania, never switchin' sides

From the bay to the north where the tribe resides

Outro

Yeah

Batmania

Summer and the rain

Posse cut, one take

That's that
