Best Lyrics by Tiakola Feat. Rema
Tiakola and Rema just dropped a track that feels like a love letter written on a phone screen while scrolling through Insta stories.

Tiakola and Rema just dropped a track that feels like a love letter written on a phone screen while scrolling through Insta stories. The beat is a smooth blend of Afro‑beat grooves and trap hi‑hats, and the lyrics are all about that awkward, all‑or‑nothing feeling you get when someone’s on your mind 24/7. If you’ve ever tried to balance a hectic career with a budding romance, this song is the soundtrack you didn’t know you needed.
Rema’s chorus is a confession wrapped in swagger. He admits, “I know I am a mess, a little drug‑obsessed,” and then flips it into a promise: “I’m tryna be the best ’cause, baby, you deserve it.” The line is both vulnerable and fierce, a reminder that even the most confident front‑man can feel like a broken record when love is involved. The hook’s repetition makes it stick in your head, turning every replay into a small ritual of hope.
Tiakola’s verses switch between French, English, and a sprinkle of Pidgin, creating a linguistic tapestry that mirrors the complexity of modern relationships. He sings, “Tu connais, moi, j'suis busy, tout près ou loin d'ici,” then drops a line in Pidgin: “You go say I dey whine you when I dey call you, ‘My baby’.” This code‑switching isn’t just stylistic; it reflects how love often transcends borders and languages, especially in the diasporic African scene where artists juggle multiple identities.
Both artists paint a picture of relentless ambition. Tiakola raps, “Mon train de vie est rapide mais j'espère que tu l'attends, babé,” while Rema counters with “You go say I dey help when I say, ‘No girl be your mate’.” The tension between career grind and emotional availability is palpable. The song doesn’t offer easy answers; instead, it presents the messy reality that love and hustle can coexist, but only if both parties are willing to compromise.
A recurring theme is self‑improvement for love’s sake. Tiakola declares, “Laisse‑moi être un homme meilleur,” and Rema echoes that sentiment by admitting his flaws and vowing to rise above them. It’s a candid look at how love can be a catalyst for personal growth, even if it means admitting you’re a “little drug‑obsessed” or “mess” in the process. The track becomes a dialogue between two artists, each acknowledging their shortcomings while offering a hopeful future.
In a world where pop culture often glorifies instant gratification, “Best Lyrics” reminds us that real connections require patience and effort. The song’s bilingual lyrics and candid admissions resonate with a generation that values authenticity over perfection. It’s a fresh reminder that vulnerability can be a superpower, especially in the creator economy where personal branding and genuine storytelling go hand‑in‑hand.
The track’s energy is contagious, and its message is clear: love is messy, but that mess can be beautiful if you’re willing to work for it. If you’re still scrolling through your phone, listening to the beat, and wondering if you’re ready to be that “best” for someone, this song is your cue. It’s not just a banger; it’s a call to action for anyone who’s ever felt the tug of love while juggling a busy life.
