I've always aspired to be a little bit of everything Try everything once, give everyone a second chance I dreamt of making mountains from milwaukee's molehills And find prosperity and pleasure in the potholes Ask not what your city can do for you but what you can do for your city And I'll give my city a little bit of everything Befriend a little bit of everyone Some see my city as small, but it gives birth to such big dreams such high hopes A state that has given birth to my state of creativity A city that has certified that anything can happen At any second My city is a little bit of everything Dangerous like the streets as the numbers get lower Rambunctious like the fireworks at the lakefront on the 3rd of July Still  like the suburbs of Wauwatosa all the way to Muskego Freezing like Madison mid January Scorching like the city during summertime My city has made me as Poetic as Maya Angelou Brave as Martin Luther King Intelligent as Thurgood Marshall Soulful as that lady that sung the blues **** as Dorothy Dandridge in her red dress Delicate as Diana before she met the Wiz Quiet as Celie Sweet as Suga Arrogant as Ali Humble as Halle Milwaukee, the city that made my dreams.

My City
I've always aspired to be a little bit of everything Try everything once, give everyone a second chance I dreamt of making mountains from milwaukee's molehills And find prosperity and pleasure in the potholes Ask not what your city can do for you but what you can do for your city And I'll give my city a little bit of everything Befriend a little bit of everyone Some see my city as small, but it gives birth to such big dreams such high hopes A state that has given birth to my state of creativity A city that has certified that anything can happen At any second My city is a little bit of everything Dangerous like the streets as the numbers get lower Rambunctious like the fireworks at the lakefront on the 3rd of July Still  like the suburbs of Wauwatosa all the way to Muskego Freezing like Madison mid January Scorching like the city during summertime My city has made me as Poetic as Maya Angelou Brave as Martin Luther King Intelligent as Thurgood Marshall Soulful as that lady that sung the blues **** as Dorothy Dandridge in her red dress Delicate as Diana before she met the Wiz Quiet as Celie Sweet as Suga Arrogant as Ali Humble as Halle Milwaukee, the city that made my dreams.
