Poco A Poco Lyrics in English Ovi , C.R.O, LIT killah, Aleman
Chaperra is a slang term, particularly used in some Latin American contexts, to describe someone who is a hard worker or a hustler. It implies a person who is dedicated and puts in a lot of effort to achieve their goals.
In the song, Ovi uses it to describe the kind of people he surrounds himself with: "Pura gente que trabaja y chaperra" (Pure people who work and hustle). This word is interesting because it's not a standard dictionary term, offering a glimpse into regional slang and the artist's world, emphasizing the theme of hard work and ambition that runs through the lyrics.
"Poco A Poco" ("Little By Little") brings together Ovi, C.R.O, LIT killah, and Alemán over one beat, each rapping about earning everything they have step by step, with nothing handed to them.
Ovi opens with his grandmother's old warning that the streets cut both ways, and traces how he went from having nothing to having it all without ever forgetting where he started. The hook repeats the title as a kind of proof: no shortcuts, just steady work.
Each guest verse adds its own version of the same climb, from sitting on a porch dreaming about what they'd become to guarding a position they had to fight for. Underneath the pride, the song keeps circling back to family, including a brother who passed away and is still watching over them, and parents who worked so their kids could make music instead.
