"Kind of a Big Deal" by Tifa is a bold and empowering anthem that celebrates self-confidence and resilience in the face of criticism and envy. The lyrics in the verses convey a sense of self-assuredness and pride in one's accomplishments. Tifa demands to be treated with respect and asserts her status as a boss in her own right. She flaunts her success and financial independence, emphasizing that she doesn't rely on hype or validation from anyone else to define her worth. The mention of sending detractors into a figurative "big deal hole" signifies her disdain for those who try to bring her down.
The chorus serves as a defiant declaration of her self-worth, asserting that she is indeed a significant and noteworthy individual, and that those who try to undermine her are merely projecting their own insecurities. Tifa challenges anyone who doubts her greatness to reconsider and acknowledge her achievements. The repeated line "you would be me if you could" suggests that her detractors secretly admire her success and wish they could emulate it, highlighting the jealousy and admiration she evokes in others.
The recurring theme in the song of working hard and earning success without compromising one's integrity is emphasized in the second verse. Tifa rejects the idea of taking shortcuts or compromising her values to get ahead, emphasizing her pride in her journey to success. She distinguishes herself from those who only appear successful on social media, affirming that her achievements are real and substantial in the physical world. This serves as a reminder to listeners that true success is built on perseverance and authenticity.
The final verse circles back to the initial themes of self-assuredness and assertiveness, with Tifa once again affirming her position as a boss and a force to be reckoned with. The lyrics reinforce her confidence and determination, making it clear that she will not allow anyone to diminish her accomplishments or undermine her worth. The song as a whole serves as a powerful anthem for self-empowerment and standing strong in the face of adversity, with Tifa embodying a persona of resilience and unapologetic confidence throughout.
