María

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 L.A.

To the sounds of a 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 in getting poorer

See mi y Maria on the corner

Thinking of ways to marke it better

In my mailbox there's an eviction letter

Somebody just

said see you later

The streets are getting hotter

Hoping of days of paradise

When the wind blows I can feel you

Through the weather and even

When we're apart

It feels like we're together Maria yeah

just like a movie star
