[Intro: Movie Dialogue]
You gotta be who you are, you can't change it
Now, you’re an American, I'm an American
You like Donna Summer and I like doo-wop
But you're also Mexican, deep inside, and that’s a wonderful thing
You can't be anything if you don't know who you are
Especially if you wanna be a singer
If you wanna be a singer you're gonna have to sing to beat from deep inside here
And you know what's in here? Your heart
You corazón
[Verse 1]
Well first of all, let's get it straight
I'm what you call, a lighter shade
That pretty brown, and I'm proud to say
Haters want you down, but I made my way
[Pre-Chorus]
If you were looking through these eyes
You would see real things that will make you cry (cry)
Sometimes shit gets real crazy
Survive and keep it fly
And I know that the limit it’s not the sky (sky)
Sky’s not the limit baby
[Chorus]
I came from nothin' to somethin’
My papi always wanted me to be what I came to be
A fly West Side girl (So fly, so fly)
And I'm a use what my mama gave me
That's what made me the latina that I had to be
A fly West Side girl (So fly, so fly)
[Verse 2]
Some say I'm cold, cause I speak my mind
That’s just how I roll, it's without me mind
Cause in my town, your streets your life
Through the smiles and frowns
We try to come up right
[Pre-Chorus]
If you were looking through these eyes
You would see real things that will make you cry (cry)
Sometimes shit gets real crazy
Survive and keep it fly
And I know that the limit it's not the sky (sky)
Sky's not the limit baby
[Chorus]
I came from nothin' to somethin'
My papi always wanted me to be what I came to be
A fly West Side girl (So fly, so fly)
And I'm a use what my mama gave me
That's what made me the latina that I had to be
A fly West Side girl (So fly, so fly)
