Ladies and gents
Turn up your sound system
To the sound of carlos santana
And the GMB (Surprada)
Ghetto people- from the Refugee Gang
oh Maria Maria
She reminds me of a west side story
Growing up in Spanish Harlem
She's living the life just like a movie star
oh Maria Maria
She fell in love in East L.A.
To the sounds of the guitar, yeah, yeah
Played by Carlos Santana
Stop the looting, stop the shooting
Pick pocking on the corner
See as the rich is getting richer
The poorer is getting poorer
See mi y Maria on the corner
Thinking of ways to make it better
In my mailbox there's an eviction letter
Somebody just said see you later
Ahora vengo mama chula mama chula
Ahora vengo mama chula (east coast)
Ahora vengo mama chula mama chula
Ahora vengo mama chula (west coast )
Maria Maria
She reminds me of a west side story
Growing up in Spanish Harlem
She's living the life just like a movie star
oh Maria Maria
She fell in love in East L.A.
To the sounds of the guitar, yeah, yeah
Played by Carlos Santana
I said a la fella los colores
The streets are getting hotter
There is no water to put out the fire
Mi cosa, la esperanza
Se mira Maria on the corner
Thinking of ways to make it better
Then I looked up in the sky
Hoping of days of paradise
Ahora vengo mama chula mama chula
Ahora vengo mama chula (north side)
Ahora vengo mama chula mama chula
Ahora vengo mama chula (south side)
Ahora vengo mama chula mama chula
Ahora vengo mama chula (world wide)
Ahora vengo mama chula mama chula
Ahora vengo mama chula (open up ur eyes )
Maria you know you're my lover
When the wind blows
I can feel you through the weather
Aand even when we're apart
It feels like we're together, Maria
She reminds me of a west side story
Growing up in Spanish Harlem
She's living the life just like a movie star
oh Maria Maria
She fell in love in East L.A.
To the sounds of the guitar, yeah, yeah
Played by Carlos Santana
Putting them up yo
Carlors Santana with the refugge gang
wite clef jerry my dog Mr santana GMB
