Lyrics:

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 )



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



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 and 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
