What does "ya tu sabes" mean?

Question

i always hear in songs "ya tu sabes" like Pitbull says this in his song Mira Mira and Lenny Martinez from Outlandish says this too. They either say it in the beginning or at the end.

Answer 1

it means "you already know"

ya = already, tu = you, saber = know

Answer 2

Ya is just functioning as an intensifier when the phrase is used colloquially, so it means "You know" or "You know it."

Answer 3

Now you know if at the end and probably as you already know if at the beginning.

Ya can mean now or already (or other things) so we would need the context to say exactly what is meant.

tú; not tu

Mira Mira lyrics provide no context
