  • Maria, Maria
    She reminds 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 LA
    To the sounds of the guitar, yeah, yeah
    Played by Carlos Santana

    Maria, Maria
    She reminds me of a West Side Story
    Growing up in Spanish Harlem
    She living the life just like a movie star
    Maria, Maria

    Stop the looting, stop the shooting
    Pick pocking on the corner
    See as the rich is getting richer
    The poorer is getting poorer
    Se mira Maria on the corner
    Thinking of ways to make it better
    In my mailbox there's an eviction letter
    Signed by the judge, said, "See you later"

    Stop the looting, stop the shooting

    In my mailbox there's an eviction letter
