Mi Vida Loca

Where did the "Mi Vida Loca" saying come from? I have seen it a lot in chicano culture and on cholas, but not much anywhere else outside of Southern California. I know it was made famous in the 90s from the movie of the same name, but was just trying to find out more background information on the saying.

I don't really know the exact reason of it, but Mi vida loca refers to gang life in general.  Most gang members of Hispanic origin even had a tattoo that represented that and clearly identified them as gang members. Back then the cholo sub culture was so popular, we still get to see people like that from time to time, but it's less now.

By the way, this is the ''Mi vida loca'' tattoo that I was talking abut:
