I am the quiet little Hispanic girl,
Light skinned
people make fun of me
they say I am not the color I’m supposed to be.
But who cares? It’s me not you!

I am the quiet little Hispanic girl,
That is going through problems
family members are sick.
God just please be with them. I love them so much.
You have to take good care of them.

I am the quiet little Hispanic girl,
once shy but not no more
I speak for myself, for no one else.
I once cared what people said
but like I said, now I speak for myself.

I am the quiet little Hispanic girl,
her life has changed after her dad left when she was young

but this
quiet little Hispanic girl
still loves her dad no matter how life goes.

I am the quiet little Hispanic girl,
That didn’t really go out with her friends,
Mother was scared of me growing up
being a teenager
Made her think about my older sister, how she grew up.
She was young, age 16, got pregnant and became a young mother.

I told my mother she can trust me, I won’t do nothing wrong.
I just want to go out and hang with my friends.

Please mom you got to trust me.

Remember, I am the quiet little Hispanic girl
that you know won’t do wrong.

I am the quiet little Hispanic girl,
Who was once out of the circle
not cool
like the whole clique was
I didn’t have the fashion,
the hair, couldn’t wear make-up come on now,

I am old enough to change,
So I changed my style from ‘70s to 2000s,
From tucked in shirts
to untucked, cuter shirts
From loose same old pants
to tighter, cuter pants
From the shoes I had to wear every year
to Jordan’s and Air-Forces
I plucked my eyebrows, I wear make-up now....

Yes, this is the “REAL” Quiet Little Hispanic Girl.
