Bovisa is a district (quartiere) of Milan, Italy, located north of the city center, in the Zone 9. The name is supposedly derived from the italian word bove, meaning ox, as the area developed from an ancient rural settlement.
An industrial area since the second half of the 19th century, Bovisa has undergone a thorough transformation since the 1950s, when most factories were dismantled to be moved farther from the expanding city center. After a period of decay, a process of renewal followed, which transformed the Bovisa into a mainly residential suburb. In the late 20th Century, the "Architecture" and "Design" faculties of the Politecnico di Milano university have been moved to Bovisa, and the area has since gained notoriety as a design and art "melting pot". This trend was confirmed in 2006, when a new headquarter of the Triennale design and art museum, dedicated to modern art, was established in this area.
Remnants of 19th century factory buildings and industrial structures are a distinctive feature of the district. Prominent landmarks of the Bovisa include large abandoned gas holders that sparsely punctuate its skyline. The Architecture faculty of the Politecnico itself has its headquarters in a restructured factory building dating back to the early 20th Century.

1st verse
Mrs. Dro's not the biggest person,
There's many people bigger than she,
But she continues growning,
As many people can easily see,
There's one thing more that you hafta know,
It's that she'll keep continuin' to grow
Chorus
She'll be that way till she dies,
She's been like that but never cries,
She's mighty so she will pull through,
Or she'll sit on you
2nd verse
She's never tried a diet,
She says they do not work good anyway,
And don't ask her about it,
She tell bout sumthin' bout back in her day,
And say you know kids i don't fear,
I've never once even she'd a tear
Chorus
She'll be that way till she dies,
She's been like that but never cries,
She's mighty so she will pull through,
Or she'll sit on you [x4]
3rd verse

It's that she'll keep continuin' to grow
Chorus
She'll be that way till she dies,
She's been like that but never cries,
She's mighty so she will pull through,
Or she'll sit on you
And never once will she let you know,
The one thing that she'd never show,
Her actual weight is unknown,
