Ladies and gents

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

Verse 2:
I said a la favella los colores
The streets are getting hotter
There is no water
To put out the fire

Thinkin' of ways to make it better
Then I looked up in the sky
Hoping of days of paradise

It feels like we are together

Santana is the group featuring Carlos Santana, often considered one of the greatest guitarist of the modern age, who mainly play rock with a latino flavor. Carlos was born in Mexico, in Autlan de la Grana, Jalisco, before his family moved to Tijuana. There he learned about making music from his musician father, who played in a mariachi group, entertaining the tourist trade. Young Carlos's influences were the early bluesmen and the early rockers of the 50s and 60s. Tijuana proved to be his early training ground playing in and out of the cantinas, learning and plying his trade. Even after the family migrated to the United States, he stayed behind, learning and refining his talent.
