Santana - Maria Maria

Ladies and gents Turn up this sound system To the sound of Carlos Santana And the GMBs Ghetto blues from the refugee camp Oh Maria Maria She reminds me of a westside story Growing up in Spanish Harlem She's livin' her life just like a movie star Oh, Maria Maria She fell in love in East LA To the sounds of the guitar Played by Carlos Santana Stop the looting, stop the shooting Pick pocking on the corner See as the rich is getting richer The poor is getting poorer Se mira Maria on the corner Thinkin' of ways to make it better In my mailbox there's an eviction letter Somebody just said see you later Ahora vengo mama chola mama chola (East coast / West coast) Oh Maria Maria She reminds me of a westside story Growing up in Spanish Harlem She's livin' her life just like a movie star Oh, Maria Maria She fell in love in East L.A. To the sounds of the guitar Played by Carlos Santana I said a la favella los colores The streets are getting hotter There is no water To put out the fire Mi canto la esperanza Se mira Maria on the corner Thinkin' of ways to make it better Then I looked up in the sky Hoping of days of paradise Ahora vengo mama chola mama chola (North side / South side / World wide / Open up your eyes) Maria you know you're my lover When the wind blows I can feel you through the weather And even when we are apart It feels like we are together Maria, yeah She reminds me of a westside story Growing up in Spanish Harlem She's livin' her life just like a movie star Oh Maria Maria She fell in love in East L.A. To the sounds of the guitar Played by Carlos Santana Put 'em up y'all Carlos Santana with the refugee camp Wyclef Jerry Wonder Mr. Santana GMB Yo, Carlos, man you makin' the guitar cry...
