Maria Maria
She reminds me of a west side story
Growing up in Spanish Harlem
She's living the life jsut like a movie star
Maria Maria
She fell in
love in East L.A.
To the sounds of a guitar,
yeah yeah,
PLayed by Carlos Santana
Stop the looting,
stop the shooting
Pick pocketing 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
Somebody just said see you later
Ahora vengo
mama chola
mama chola *repeat*
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 teh corner
Thinking of ways to make it better
"Maria
Maria" (written by W. Jean, J. Duplessis, C. Santana, K.
