Mommy's Little Cholo
Manic Hispanic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Drinking 40 ouncers and smoking a dozen bowls
He loves to go out crusing with his homeboys,
He loves to go out and make some noise
He doesn't wanna be a gardnerer
Or a dude diggin' a ditch
He's 20 years old never had a job,
And the wellfare pays his rent
his brothers in the pita
And his sisters on parol
His parents say mijo,
We're praying for your soul
he's mommys little cholo,
He's mommyas little cholo,
Don't wake him in a fit
mommys little chola shoots methadrine,
Momys little chola had sex at 15
All the homegirls thinks she's cool,
She's gonna go out to beauty school
She has no problem with he vatos in the bed
She's got a homeboy his names little ben,
He knocked her up before he went to jail
And she's got no money for his bail
her eyes were like a racoons
She wasn't born with a silver spoon,
Hair sprayed up to the sky,
Teardrop tattoo under her eye
she's mommy's little chola,
She's mommy's little chola,
Don't take her life away
her eyes were like a racoons
She wasn't born with a silver spoon,
Hair sprayed up to the sky,
Teardrop tattoo under her eye
she's mommy's little chola,
She's mommy's little chola,
Don't take her life away
she's mommy's little chola [x4]
The lyrics of Manic Hispanic's "Mommy's Little Cholo" reflects the struggles of rebellious Hispanic youth, who have turned to gang culture as a means of identity, family, and income. The lyrics tell the stories of two young adults, a male and a female, struggling to survive in a world where opportunities for success are slim. The male protagonist, "mommy's little cholo," has dropped out of school, drinks 40 ounces, and smokes marijuana regularly. He lives off of welfare and refuses to work as a gardener or a construction worker. His parents pray for his soul as he cruises the streets with his friends and makes a ruckus in the neighborhood. Similarly, the female protagonist, "mommy's little chola," is a high school dropout who shoots methadone, had sex at 15, and has a homeboy who has gone to jail. She wants to go to beauty school but cannot afford it. Although her life may be full of hardships and challenges, she embraces her identity and refuses to let anyone "take her life away."
The song "Mommy's Little Cholo" offers a glimpse into the struggles and complexities of Hispanic youth culture. It emphasizes the importance of community and the difficulties that come with being disenfranchised and marginalized in American society. The references to gang culture, drug use, and teenage pregnancy highlight some of the negative factors that contribute to the perpetuation of urban poverty in Hispanic communities. The song paints a vivid picture of the lives of Hispanic youth and gives a voice to their struggles and aspirations.
