Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everybody knows this right here
Your mother, your father, yous sister, your brother
Abuela y abuelo, everybody sing along
Latino
Mami el negro, Cubano
Mami el negro, Puertorriqueño
Mami el negro, Dominicano
Mami el negro, Mexicano

Mami el negro esta rabioso
El quiere tu azucar, y tu no se lo das
Esa morena esta sabrosa
Y cuando tu la tocas, ella se vuelve loca
Mami el negro esta rabioso
El quiere tu azucar, y tu no se lo das
Esa morena esta sabrosa
Y cuando tu la tocas, ella se vuelve loca
Mami que sera lo que quiere el negro (a mi que me importa)
Yo lo que quiero es esa loca (dale dale loca)
Mami que sera lo que quiere el negro (a mi que me importa)
Yo lo que quiero es esa loca (dale dale loca)

Let's go
Hey hey, baby give it to me, don't play-play
She was like ok-k-k
Started clapping her ass like ay bey bey, ay bey bey, ay bey bey
She told me that her mom is Latin, her dad Asian
Abuela esta loca, abuelos Hatian
Y yo soy Cubano and I'm impatient
So do me a favor, lets skip conversation
I just wanna taste you ASAP
Take you ASAP to the room ASAP
Zoom zoom ASAP boom boom take that
Oh, I like that
When you fight that

Mami el negro esta rabioso
El quiere tu azucar, y tu no se lo das
Esa morena esta sabrosa
Y cuando tu la tocas, ella se vuelve loca
Mami que sera lo que quiere el negro (a mi que me importa)
Yo lo que quiero es esa loca (dale dale loca)
Mami que sera lo que quiere el negro (a mi que me importa)
Yo lo que quiero es esa loca (dale dale loca)

See you with your heels, sexy ass shirt
I see you with your man
You threw me a smirk
You see me with your girls
You started to flirt
Back of the club, hand up her skirt
Hand full of ass
I'm trying to hold on
Girls gone wild all night long
She had no bra and no thong
One more shot
Baby it's on
She's a wild thing
And she loves to do wild things
So we did the wild thing
I'm a freak but I ain't gon' lie
That thing was fire man, everybody say

Mami el negro esta rabioso
El quiere tu azucar, y tu no se lo das
Esa morena esta sabrosa
Y cuando tu la tocas, ella se vuelve loca
Mami que sera lo que quiere el negro (a mi que me importa)
Yo lo que quiero es esa loca (dale dale loca)
Mami que sera lo que quiere el negro (a mi que me importa)
Yo lo que quiero es esa loca (dale dale loca)

Get nasty, get freaky, you sexy, you fine
Get nasty, get freaky, you sexy, you fine
Go go go go girl
Go go go girl
Go go go girl
Go go go girl
Shake your ass to the beat, shake your ass to the beat
Shake your ass to the beat, shake your ass to the beat

Mami el negro esta rabioso
El quiere tu azucar, y tu no se lo das
Esa morena esta sabrosa
Y cuando tu la tocas, ella se vuelve loca
Mami que sera lo que quiere el negro (a mi que me importa)
Yo lo que quiero es esa loca (dale dale loca)
Mami que sera lo que quiere el negro (a mi que me importa)
Yo lo que quiero es esa loca (dale dale loca)
Take it to the floor now

Yo te doy lo tuyo
Ahora, dame lo mio
Yo te doy lo tuyo
Ahora, dame lo mio
Yo te doy lo tuyo
Ahora, dame lo mio (let's go now)
Yo te doy lo tuyo
Ahora, dame lo mio
Hey hey hey
