Major Lazer – Wheres The Daddy (feat. M.I.A.) Lyrics

[Intro: M.I.A.]Major Lazer
Baby
M.I.A.​
I say, “Whe—”
I say, “Whe—”
I say, “Whe—”
I say, “Whe—”

[Chorus: M.I.A.]I say, “Where’s the daddy?”
I say, “Where’s the daddy?”
I say, “Where’s the daddy?”
I say, “Where’s the daddy?” (Baby)
I say, “Where’s the daddy?”
I say, “Where’s the daddy?”
I say, “Where’s the daddy?”
I say, “Where’s the daddy?” (Major Lazer)

[Post-Chorus: M.I.A.]One daddy, daddy, daddy, two daddy, four
Now, boys, tell me what the real daddy’s for?
One daddy, daddy, daddy, two daddy, four
Now, boys, tell me what the real daddy’s for? (Baby)

[Verse 1: M.I.A.]Never really had one, so I will never know, but
If you stick around, maybe you could tell me more
‘Cause somethin’ in the way that you suck to me, lot
Lot of man got trained from when they’re in a cot
Look at stacks of the men growing up in a rut
Filling slots of the badland, cheese blood clot
History re-runs ’cause you still fuck with her
Fuck’s my support for the child when you’re broke?
If you run out to lock me out to drive a truck
Take my boy around, so he doesn’t stay stuck
Look at all the babies growin’ up in the muck
Lookin’ up at the fucked-up men like, “Yuck”
I said look at all the babies growin’ up in the rut
Lookin’ up at the fucked-up men like, “Yuck” (Baby)

[Chorus: M.I.A.]I say, “Where’s the daddy?”
I say, “Where’s the daddy?”
I say, “Where’s the daddy?”
I say, “Where’s the daddy?” (M.I.A.)
I say, “Where’s the daddy?”
I say, “Where’s the daddy?”
I say, “Where’s the daddy?”
I say, “Where’s the daddy?” (Baby)
I say, “Where’s the daddy?”
I say, “Where’s the daddy?”
I say, “Where’s the daddy?”
I say, “Where’s the daddy?” (Major Lazer)
I say, “Where’s the daddy?”
I say, “Where’s the daddy?”
I say, “Where’s the daddy?”
I say, “Where’s the daddy?”

[Verse 2: M.I.A.]You say, “Suck your mother, mother-cunt, cunt-y” all that
I say, “Where’s the daddy Joe, daddy broke and that”
Child support don’t really hit my map
But a waste man hittin’ when I post mad pack
I ain’t gonna raise my son like that
This is a woman’s world and he knows that
I said I ain’t really gonna raise my son like that
‘Cause this is a woman’s world and he knows that
[Chorus: M.I.A.]I say, “Where’s the daddy?”
I say, “Where’s the daddy?”
I say, “Where’s the daddy?”
I say, “Where’s the daddy?” (Major Lazer)
I say, “Where’s the daddy?”
I say, “Where’s the daddy?”(Baby)
I say, “Where’s the daddy?”
I say, “Where’s the daddy?”

[Outro: M.I.A.]When I get back, serve me as a leader (I say, “Where’s the daddy?”)
I say, “Where’s the daddy?”
I say, “Where’s the daddy?”
I say, “Where’s the daddy?”
When I get back, serve me as a leader (I say, “Where’s the daddy?”)
I say, “Where’s the daddy?”
I say, “Where’s the daddy?”
I say, “Where’s the daddy?” (Major Lazer)
When I get back, serve me as a leader (I say, “Where’s the daddy?”)
I say, “Where’s the daddy?”
I say, “Where’s the daddy?”
I say, “Where’s the daddy?”
When I get back, serve me as a leader (Major Lazer)
