Lyrics Maria Maria - Union of Sound

Ladies and gents
Turn up your sound systems
To the sounds of Carlos Santana
In the G&B (Sangrata)
From the ghetto grooves

Oh, Maria, Maria
She remind me of a West Side Story
Growing up in Spanish Harlem
She 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
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
Si 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," yeah

Ahora vengo mamachula, mamachula
Ahora venga mamachula (East Coast)
Ahora vengo mamachula, mamachula
Ahora vengo mamachula (West Coast)

Oh, Maria, Maria
She remind me of a West Side Story
Growing up in Spanish Harlem
She 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
Played by Carlos Santana

I said, la favela, los calores
The streets are getting hotter
There is no water to put out the fire
Mi corta esperanza
Si mira Maria on the corner
Thinking of ways to make it better
Then I looked up in the sky
Hoping the days of paradise

Ahora vengo mamachula, mamachula
Ahora venga mamachula (North side)
Ahora vengo mamachula, mamachula
Ahora vengo mamachula (South side)
Ahora vengo mamachula, mamachula
Ahora venga mamachula (Worldwide)
Ahora vengo mamachula, mamachula
Ahora vengo mamachula

Maria, you know you're my lover
When the wind blows, I can feel you
Through the weather
And even when we are apart
Still feels like we're together

Maria
She remind me of a West Side Story
Growing up in Spanish Harlem
She 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
Played by Carlos Santana
