Maria Maria - Santana (feat. G&B)

Wyclef:
Ladies and gent's
Turn up your sound systems
To the sound of Carlos Santana
And the G&B (Surprada) Ghetto and Blues
From the refugee camp

Chorus:
Oh Maria Maria
She remin' me of a West Side Story
Growin' up in Spanish Harlem
She's livin' 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

Verse 1:
Stop the lootin', stop the shootin'
Pick pocking 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


Carlos Santana:
Ahora vengo mama chola mama chola
Ahora vengo mama chola (East coast)

Ahora vengo mama chola mama chola
Ahora vengo mama chola (West coast)

Chorus:
Maria Maria
She remin' me of a West Side Story
Growin' up in Spanish Harlem oh, oh
She's livin' 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

Verse 2:
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 the corner
Thinkin' of ways to make it better
Then I looked up in the sky
Hopin' of feel the paradise!

Carlos Santana:
Ahora vengo mama chola mama chola
Ahora vengo mama chola (Northside)
Ahora vengo mama chola mama chola
Ahora vengo mama chola (Southside)
Ahora vengo mama chola mama chola
Ahora vengo mama chola (Worldwide)
Ahora vengo mama chola mama chola
Ahora vengo mama chola (Open up your eyes)

Bridge:
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 still feels like we're together

Chorus:
Maria! Oh Yeah
She remin' me of a West Side Story
Growin' up in Spanish Harlem
She's livin' 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
Carlors Santana with the refugee camp
Wyclef, Jerry Wonder, Mr. santana, G&B
Yo Carlos man, you makin' that guitar cry
