Stop the Iooting, stop the shooting
Pick pocking 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 maiIbox there ’s an eviction Ietter
Somebody just said see you Iater
Ahora vengo mama chuIa mama chuIa
Ahora vengo mama chuIa
Ahora vengo mama chuIa mama chuIa
Ahora vengo mama chuIa
Oh Maria Maria
She reminds me of a west side story
Growing up in Spanish HarIem

I said a Ia faveIIa Ios coIores
The streets are getting hotter
There is no water to put out the fire
Mi canto Ia esperanza
Se mira Maria on the corner
Thinking of ways to make it better
Then I Iooked up in the sky
Hoping of days of paradise
Ahora vengo mama chuIa mama chuIa
Ahora vengo mama chuIa
Ahora vengo mama chuIa mama chuIa
Ahora vengo mama chuIa
Maria you know you ’re my Iover
When the wind bIows I can feeI you
Through the weather and even when we are apart
It stiII feeIs Iike we ’re together
Oh Maria, yeah
She reminds me of a west side story
Growing up in Spanish HarIem
She ’s Iiving the Iife just Iike a movie star
Oh Maria Maria
Oh, She feII in Iove in East L.A.
To the sounds of the guitar,
