Yo
Konvict
Konvict Music (Tego Calderón)
(Snoop Dogg, Akon) and you know we up front

I see you windin' and grindin' up on the floor
I know you see me lookin' at you and you already know
I wanna love you (love you), you already know

I wanna love you (love you), you already know, girl

Money in the air as mo' fell
Grab you by your coattail
Take you to the motel, ho sale
Don't tell, won't tell
Baby say, "I don't talk Dogg"
Then she told on me, oh well
Take a picture with me, what the flick gon' do?
Baby, stick to me and I'ma stick on you
If you pick me then I'ma pick on you
D-O-double G and I'm here to put this on you
I'm stuck on and yours is right
Rip ridin' the poles and them doors is tight
And I'ma get me a shot 'fo the end of the night
'Cause, and baby your for life

I see you windin' and grindin' up on the floor
I know you see me lookin' at you and you already know
I wanna love you (love you), you already know
I wanna love you (love you), you already know, girl

Shorty, I can see you ain't lonely
Handful of, and they all got cheese
See you looking at me, now what it's gon' be?
Just another tease far as I can see
Tryna get you up out this club
If it means spendin' a couple dubs
Throwin' 'bout 30 stacks in the back
Make it rain like that 'cause I'm far from a scrub
You know my pedigree, ex-dealer used to move 'phetamines
Girl, I spend money like it don't mean nothin'
And besides, I got a thing for you

I see you windin' and grindin' up on the floor (ajá)
I know you see me lookin' at you and you already know ('tá bien)
I wanna love you (love you), you already know (tú sabes)
I wanna love you (love you), you already know, girl (mira, mira)

Ey, te mentí con lo de hacernos jevos, con lo del viejo
Pero, mucho gusto, yo soy Tego (just smoking, just smoking)
Tú te vas pa' encima cuando caminas (¿qué, qué?)
Tú eres mi budín de esquina (uy) (baby, I see you)
Así que no te hagas la bruta y ponte pa' ésta ruta (ponte)
Que llegó Papá Machuca (papá) (yeah)
Te veo mirando
Sé lo que estás pensando (ajá)
Y te noto bellaqueando (uy)
Por ti, yo cambiaría par de día'
Hasta que deposite alguito en tu alcancía (ay Dios)
Quiero ser tu papi, mami
Dame un break, bendito
Que me tiene asfixia'ito (okey)

Girl, and while you're looking at me, I'm ready to hit the Caddy
Right up on the patio, move the patty to the Caddy
Baby, you got a fatty, the type I like to marry
Wanting to just give you everything and that's kinda scary
'Cause I'm lovin' the way you shake your ass
Bouncin', got me tippin' my glass
Normally don't get caught up too fast
But I got a thing for you

I see you windin' and grindin' up on the floor
I know you see me lookin' at you and you already know
I wanna love you (love you), you already know
I wanna love you (love you), you already know, girl (chula, chula)

Ando pensando en pájaro preñao' enchulao'
Me tienes bien emburrao'
En otra vida, te doy par de chamacos
En esta vine a romperte el trapo (ajá)
Na' de pensione', na' de embarazos
Si quiere uno yo trato (yo', yo')
Mamita, yo trato (¿tú tratas?)
(Yo', break it down for 'em real quick Tego)

Yo quiero darte (ayy) tabla (oh)
Mi chula, you know (ayy, oh)
Yo quiero darte (yeah) felpa

You already know, jaja (¿qué fue?)
(Wild, boy)

I see you windin' n' grindin' up on that pole
I can see that you are working the pole with your dance moves

I'm aware that you notice me watching you and you understand what I want

I wanna fuck you, fuck you, you already know
I desire to have sexual intercourse with you and you already know my intentions

I observe that you are not alone, as there are several men around you

So you lookin' at me, now what's it gonna be?
You are staring at me, what are you going to do about it?

Just another tease far as I can see
You're just playing games with me, it seems

Tryin' get you up out this club
I'm attempting to take you away from this establishment

If it means spendin' a couple dubs
I'm willing to pay a couple thousand dollars for that to happen

Throwin' bout thirty stacks in the back
I'm throwing around $30,000 in the back of the club

Make it rain like that 'cause I'm far from a scrub
I can afford to make it rain with cash because I am not a loser

Shhh, não há duas sem três
Quiet, good things come in threes

Quero mais, rewind começa tudo outra vez
I want more, let's rewind and start over again

Esse sorriso na cara denuncia que tu gostas
That smile on your face shows that you like what you see

As unhas são tuas, são minhas as costas
Your nails are yours, but your back is mine

Á vontade, é tudo nosso
Relax, it's all ours

Querida senta, dança este som enquanto beijo esse quarenta
Honey, sit down, dance to this music while I kiss you

Ouço aguinha a cair, ta calor aí dentro
I hear water falling, it's hot in here

Eu vou entrar sem pedir
I'm going to enter without asking for permission

Girl, n' while you're looking at me, I'm ready to hit the caddy
While you are looking at me, I'm prepared to get into the Cadillac

Right up on the patio, move the patty to the caddy
We'll go right up to the patio, and then move to the Cadillac

Baby, you got a fatty, the type I like to marry
Darling, you have a nice butt, the kind I would want to marry

Wantin' to just give you everythin' n' that's kinda scary
I want to give you everything, and that's a little intimidating

Cause I'm lovin' the way you shake your ass
I enjoy how you move your posterior

Bouncin', got me tippin' my glass
You're bouncing, and it's making me tip my drink

Normally don't get caught up too fast, but I got a thing for you
Usually, I don't get attached too quickly, but I am attracted to you

I wanna fuck you, love you, you already know
I want to have sex with you and show you affection, as you are already aware
