Daddy Yankee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know who I am
(You ma papi, papi, papi, papi, papi, papi, papi, papi, papi)
Get ready, Da-da-da-da
(You ma papi, papi, papi, papi, papi, papi, papi, papi, papi)
(One, dos, three, cuatro)
Te voy a enseñar a ti ma que fácil es
Saco mi instinto animal
Como un loco criminal
Esto se va por decision unanime
Ti-tírame por atrás que ya me animé
La chica es brat, oh my god
Ella no va para atrás
Pero no vacilé, como el rock tiro el plan con la rápidez
Fui directo pa'l mambo y la castigué
Sin ningún perdón
Me comí el bombón
Dime el Cangri man
En la sábana yo me guillé
Arropado fue que la pillé
Un rato pega'o suda'o con ella guerrille
La pose era salvaje la ensillé
Quien es el rey de tu vida
Ahora dime girl
Who, who, who, who's your daddy?
Who, who, who, who's your daddy?

And keep rockin' it, keep rockin' it, keep rockin' it
And keep movin' it, keep movin' it, keep movin' it,
Sha-sha-sha-sha-sha-shake
Muévelo gi-gi-gi-gi-girl
Chispa en la cintura, dale sáquele

Who's your daddy? Grítalo a esta boca
Tengo una fábrica de cariño bien chocholatosa mas que Willy Wonka
Qué es lo que es la chocha
Quién te lleva de shopping si tú gastas un
Quién te saca a pasear a todas, dímelo ma
A to' el mundo apagamos por el nivel que estamos
Papito como brillamos
Grítalo mai

The song "Who's Your Daddy?" by Daddy Yankee is a reggaeton track that talks about his dominance over the women he encounters. The lyrics are quite explicit and objectifying, as he sings about how easy it is for him to make women feel good and about his sexual exploits with them. He refers to himself as "papi" and encourages the woman he's singing to call him that as well. The chorus constantly repeats the phrase, "Who's your daddy?", as a way for him to assert his power and control over his female counterparts.
The song also includes references to his success and popularity, as he talks about how all of the women want to be with him and how he is the one who is "setting things on fire." The lyrics are quite repetitive, but the beat and melody are catchy and danceable, which is why the song became such a hit when it was released.
Overall, the song promotes sexist and misogynistic attitudes towards women and reinforces gender roles that depict women as submissive and sexually objectified. It speaks to the wider cultural phenomenon of Latin American music that glorifies machismo and patriarchal attitudes towards women.

Este álbum fue producido en 🇺🇸.. La mitad del CD fue en inglés y la otra en español . Por eso Daddy canta en inglés... La hizo recontra linda.. Gran rival para Wisin y Yandel con su CD LOS EXTRATERRESTRES
Alexis⚡
Fue un buen disco el cartel: the big boss hay temas que estan buenos para mi uno de los mejores fue impacto, coraza divina, me quedaria, cambio, ella me levanto, whos your daddy, pero seamos sinceros el disco de los extraterrestres fue otro nivel.... en cuestion de sonidos el disco de WY sonaba de otra dimension , se escuchaba muy adelantado para su epoca🤷🏻♂️
Alejandro Gimenez
Uff en esta época estaban imparables tanto yankee como WyY
En lo personal me quedo con los extraterrestres,pero este álbum tiene sus gemas
Javier miller
Que bueno que exista gente que sepa del genero, ahora todos se olvidan de la carrera de Daddy, se la dan a Don y a Arca
