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)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Akon’s hit song “I Wanna” featuring Snoop Dogg and Tego Calderón revolve around a man admiring a woman, whom he sees on the dance floor. The man expresses his desire to love the woman and to shower her with money and gifts. Snoop Dogg raps about wanting to take the woman to a motel and spending money on her. Tego Calderón then chimes in with his Spanish lyrics, telling the woman that he wants to give her a good time in bed.


The song’s lyrics are quite suggestive, and they reinforce stereotypes about women, portraying them as objects to be won over and showered with gifts. Nevertheless, the song’s catchy beat and hook made it popular in the mid-2000s, and it remains a party classic to this day.
