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 LA
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

The streets are getting hotter
There is no water to put out the fire

Thinking of ways to make it better
Then I looked up in the sky
Hoping of days of paradise
