(South side)
Played by Carlos Santana
Stop the lootin', stop the shootin'

Ahora vengo mama chola
Ahora vengo mama chola
(Worldwide)
Put 'em up y'all
Growin' up in Spanish Harlem
Se mira Maria on the corner
Pick pocking on the corner
Oh Maria, Maria
Somebody just said, "See you later"
Thinkin' of ways to make it better
(Open up your eyes)
Ahora vengo mama chola
Oh Maria, Maria
Growin' up in Spanish Harlem
Yeah
Through the weather and even when we're apart
(East Coast)
She remind me of a West Side story
It still feels like we're together
When the wind blows I can feel you
In my mailbox there's an eviction letter
To the sounds of the guitar yeah yeah
Ahora vengo mama chola
Ahora vengo mama chola mama chola
Mr. Santana, GMB
Ahora vengo mama chola mama chola
Growin' up in Spanish Harlem
Then I looked up in the sky
Oh Maria, Maria
Ahora vengo mama chola
Maria, oh yeah
Mi canto la esperanza
Thinkin' of ways to make it better
I said a la favella, los colores
She remind me of a West Side story
Wyclef, Jerry "Wonder"
She livin' a life just like a movie star
Se mira Maria on the corner
Maria, Maria
Oh Maria, Maria
Ahora vengo mama chola mama chola
Carlos Santana with the refugee camp
The poor is getting poorer
(North side)
See as the rich is getting richer
Ahora vengo mama chola mama chola
She fell in love in East L.A.
Maria you know you're my lover
She remind me of a West Side story
In the GMB ghetto blues
From the refugee camps
She livin' a life just like a movie star
She livin' a life just like a movie star
Hopin' the days of paradise
There is no water to put out the fire
Oh, she fell in love in East L.A.
Ahora vengo mama chola mama chola
To the sound of Carlos Santana
