Navigating Success and Struggles: Tiakola's Journey in 'T.I.A - A COLORS SHOW'
Tiakola's 'T.I.A - A COLORS SHOW' is a raw and introspective exploration of the artist's journey through the music industry and life. The song opens with a confident declaration of his identity, 'T-I-A,' setting the tone for a narrative that oscillates between triumph and tribulation. Tiakola reflects on the pressures and expectations that come with success, acknowledging the sacrifices and the skepticism he faces from others. The repeated phrase 'It's not my fault, Oath's made me do it, bro' suggests a sense of inevitability and destiny in his path, as if his success was preordained despite the challenges.
The lyrics delve into the duality of Tiakola's emotions, where he feels both joy and sadness simultaneously. He questions why he is scrutinized and judged, especially when he doesn't conform to the stereotypical image of success, such as wearing flashy watches and chains. This dichotomy is further emphasized in lines like 'Pourquoi le même jour, j'suis heureux et triste?' (Why on the same day, am I happy and sad?). Tiakola's vulnerability is palpable as he expresses disappointment in the superficial reasons people follow him, preferring to remain oblivious to their true intentions.
Despite the adversities, Tiakola maintains resilience and a positive outlook. He speaks of writing as a form of testimony and catharsis, a way to cope with the stones thrown at him. The recurring line 'Malgré tout c'qu'il s'passe, y a le cœur qui bat mais les couilles sont là' (Despite everything, the heart beats but the balls are there) underscores his determination and courage. Tiakola's journey is not just about personal success but also about staying true to oneself and navigating the complexities of fame and authenticity. The song is a testament to his strength and the importance of mental fortitude in the face of life's challenges.
