Maria Maria (Wyclef Remix) Lyrics
(feat. Wyclef Jean)
Intro (Wyclef):
Ladies and gents
Turn up this sound system
To the sound of Carlos Santana
And the GMBs
Ghetto blues from the refugee camp
Hook:
Oh Maria Maria
She reminds me of a westside story
Growing up in Spanish Harlem
She's livin' her life just like a movie star
Oh, Maria Maria
She fell in love in East L.A.
To the sounds of the guitar
Played by Carlos Santan
*guitar plays*
Verse 1:
Stop the looting, stop the shooting
Pick pocking on the corner
See as the rich is getting richer
The poor is getting poorer
Se mira Maria on the corner
Thinkin' of ways to make it better
In my mailbox there's an eviction letter
Somebody just said see you later
Bridge:
Ahora vengo mama chola mama chola
Ahora vengo mama chola (East coast)
Ahora vengo mama chola mama chola
Ahora vengo mama chola (West coast)
Hook:
Oh Maria Maria
She reminds me of a westside story
Growing up in Spanish Harlem
She's livin' her life just like a movie star
Oh, Maria Maria
She fell in love in East L.A.
To the sounds of the guitar
Played by Carlos Santan
*guitar plays*
Verse 2:
I said a la favella los colores
The streets are getting hotter
There is no water
To put out the fire
Mi canto la esperanza
Se mira Maria on the corner
Thinkin' of ways to make it better
Then I looked up in the sky
Hoping of days of paradise
Bridge:

Bridge 2:
Maria you know your my lover
When the wind blows I can feel you through the weather
And even when we are apart
It feels like we are together
Maria, yeah
Hook:
She reminds me of a westside story
Growing up in Spanish Harlem
She's livin' her life just like a movie star
