Chicana Yo Soy
Chicana Yo Soy!
Y para Mexico Casi No voy
The Spanish I speak isn’t real
Now I know how natives feel
Chicana yo soy…..
Chicana Yo Soy!
I walk on a thin line of sadness and joy
For my peers don’t understand discipline at home
Which follows me past being fully grown
Chicana yo soy…..
Chicana Yo Soy!
I had to wait until 15 to date a boy
My peers pressured me to do more
The disrespect was felt at my family’s core
Chicana yo soy……
Chicana Yo Soy!
I am too American to be Mexican for my culture
Too Mexican to be American its quite the mental torture
Chicana Yo Soy!
Chicana YO SOY!
Con Orgullo that means pride
My culture is my daily drive
Efficient, hardworking good with rations
Enjoying my life, my culture, my passion
CHICANA YO SOY
