Piquete is a fantastic Puerto Rican slang word that's tricky to translate directly, but it generally means 'swag', 'style', or a confident, sometimes cocky, attitude.
In the song, Daddy Yankee asserts his dominance by saying he's a "fuerza de choque que tumba todos los piquetes" (a shock force that knocks down all the swag/attitude). Learning this word is a key to understanding the cool, confident language you'll often hear in reggaeton music.
This song is the ultimate breakup anthem! Daddy Yankee and Sech are telling someone it is completely, totally, one hundred percent over. The title says it all: "Definitivamente no te quiero ni ver" [Definitely, I don't even want to see you]. They are so done with this person that if they cross paths, the plan is "ni nos conocemos" [we don't know each other]. They're not just breaking up; they're erasing the entire relationship from memory.
But here's the twist that makes the song so good. After saying it's dead and gone, they suggest meeting up "solo una vez más... pa' que lo olvidemos" [just one more time... so we can forget it]. It's that classic 'one last time' idea to get the person out of their system for good. Daddy Yankee also gets in a few great jabs, like when he says, "Tú no me dejaste, no te des los méritos" [You didn't leave me, don't take the credit], which is a pretty bold thing to say during a breakup.
