Lyrics

Born in the melting pot of NYC
I asked my Mama about my family tree
Where do we come from? Who looks like me?
She said child we're a mixed up family
But I'll break it down so you can see
So you can see

We're Tanganyikan, Puerto Rican
Cuban seeking, Ghetto speaking
In the Virgin Isles
We go back a while
No fakin there's a little Jamaican
So what does that make me?

(chorus)
She said your an Island girl we
Rule the world see
Island girls we rule the world
Island girls we rule the world see
Island girls we rule the world

So that's why I like those cuchifrito things
But my favorite dish is still
Collard greens
And I can dance to most anything
Hip hop, salsa or...
Island swing

(chorus)

(bridge)
And you don't have to cross the ocean
Cause if you can put your hips in motion
Then maybe, baby, baby
Your and island girl like me
Just like me

(chorus + bridge out)
