Ladies and gents
Turn up your sound system to the sound of Carlos Santana
And the G&B (it's the Product)
Ghetto blues from the Refugee Camp
Oh, Maria, Maria
She remind me of a West Side Story
Growing up in Spanish Harlem
She's living the life just like a movie star
Oh, Maria, Maria (ayo, 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 pock'ing on the corner
See as the rich is getting richer
The poor is getting poorer
Se mira Maria on the corner
Thinking of ways to make it better
In my mailbox there's an eviction letter
Signed by the judge, said see you later
Ahora vengo mama chola, mama chola
Ahora vengo mama chola (East coast)
Ahora vengo mama chola, mama chola
Ahora vengo mama chola (West coast)
Maria, Maria
She remind 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.
I said, to the sounds of the guitar, yeah, yeah
Played by Carlos Santana
I said a la favela los colores
The streets are getting hotter
There is no water to put out the fire
Mi contar 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 chola, mama chola
Ahora vengo mama chola (world wide)
Ahora vengo mama chola, mama chola
Ahora vengo mama chola (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 still feels like we're together
Maria, yeah
She remind me of a West Side Story
Growing up in Spanish Harlem
She's living the life just like a movie star
Oh, Maria, Maria
Oh, 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 Wonda
Mr. Santana
G&B
