Poquito

Tego Calderón's 'Poquito' is a song that exudes defiance and self-assurance in the face of adversity and envy. The lyrics are a direct response to critics and detractors who question Calderón's success and street credibility. Known for his gritty lyrics and authentic representation of Puerto Rican street culture, Calderón uses 'Poquito' to assert his dominance in the reggaeton scene and to address the negativity directed towards him.

The song's title, 'Poquito,' which translates to 'a little bit' in English, is used ironically to diminish the efforts of his opponents who try to undermine him. Calderón refers to himself as 'El Abayarde,' which is also the title of one of his albums, symbolizing his resilience and ability to sting like a fire ant when provoked. He dismisses the false gangsters and critics, suggesting that their attempts to harm him are insignificant and that he remains unscathed by their attacks. The lyrics also touch on themes of authenticity, as Calderón challenges the genuineness of those who claim to be 'gangsta' and streetwise.

The latter part of the song shifts to a more celebratory tone, with Calderón and other artists like Don Omar, Hector, Tito, and Luny Tunes expressing joy and camaraderie. This section of the song serves as a reminder that despite the challenges, Calderón enjoys his life and success, and he's supported by fellow artists in the reggaeton community. The playful banter among the artists adds a lighthearted element to the track, contrasting the earlier confrontational verses.
