Tity Boi AKA 2 Chainz is one half of Playaz Circle along with long time friend Dolla Boy. 2 Chainz played basketball at ASU (Alabama State University) in Montgomery, Alabama. Hailing from the Southside of Atlanta, Playaz Circle came together as a compilation in the late 90’s. They released their debut album, and shortly after that, they were introduced to radio DJ Chris Lova Lova AKA Ludacris through mutual friend Lil' Fate. Unfortunately. shortly after that, 2 Chainz was shot and Dolla was incarcerated. After hearing about their misfortune, Ludacris reached out, offering to sign them. DTP began to form, and 2 Chainz was apart of the label and signed to DTP when Dolla Boy was released.
Throughout his career, Epps received speculation that the name Tity Boi was meant to be derogatory towards women, although he repeatedly denied the accusations,in early 2011 he decided to change his stage name to 2 Chainz as he perceived it to be more "family friendly".

Tomorrow, tomorrow (tomorrow, tomorrow) yea
Tomorrow, tomorrow (tomorrow, tomorrow) talkin' right now
Tomorrow, tomorrow (tomorrow, tomorrow) I'm talkin' right now
Tomorrow, tomorrow (tomorrow, tomorrow) ain't no such thing as tomorrow
Tomorrow, tomorrow (tomorrow, tomorrow) the way we livin' today
Tomorrow, tomorrow (tomorrow, tomorrow) talkin' right now
(2 Chainz!) dreads hang on designer everything
Mr. Comme des Garçons, Mr. Alexander Wang
Mr. Chain, pinky ring, flow insane, ho insane
Man, these shoes I got on, these the hardest I've done seen
It look clean when you pour it; I remix it make it dirty
If she got good head and text me I text back and tell her "hurry"
This that category five when I walk up in the strip club
Throw it high, make you and George Washington head butt
OG's never fed us, now young niggas fed up
Ballin' so hard, I deserve a and one
Baking soda marketing, I'm getting it ain't I? Obviously
You a bitch, you a ho, that's just my philosophy
And I'm known to kick it like the captain of a soccer team
Billie Jean red leather same color Red Lobster
And she brain wash ya, head doctor
I'm be fresh as hell if the Feds watching
I'm be fresh as hell if the Feds watching (yeah)
I'm be fresh as hell if the Feds watching (yeah)

To the top you never been, you might need a respirator
Money on the rise like I'm counting on a elevator
You gon' need a detonator swimming with them barracudas
Put the rocket on that ma'fucka prosecutor
This Armani, this Givenchy, I parachute you

Smoking California weed with California hoes (true!)
Sending flicks to my partners in the state pen
I just got some pants made out off snake skin
See them shades you got on call Ray-Bans
And the shade I got on cost eight bands
I'm be fresh as hell if the Feds watching (yeah)

In 2 Chainz's song "Feds Watching", he talks about his luxurious lifestyle and how he constantly strives to look his best, regardless of who may be watching. The repeated phrase “tomorrow, tomorrow” stresses the notion that in the world of glamour and success, tomorrow is not to be waited for. Everything happens in the present moment, it is all about seizing the day, wearing the best clothes, having the best cars and being with the best people. This is made clear in the lines “ain't no such thing as tomorrow, the way we livin' today”.
2 Chainz brags about his extensive collection of designer clothes, including Comme des Garçons and Alexander Wang, “dreads hang on designer everything”. He also mentions his pinky ring and his amazing flow. When he steps into a strip club, he throws money high, making it look like George Washington is head-butting. Yet, he still keeps it real with his OGs who never fed him, but now the roles have changed and he's feeding the younger generations, “OG's never fed us, now young n***as fed up". He is known for his marketing skills with baking soda and even boasts a little with lines like “And I'm known to kick it like the captain of a soccer team”.
Throughout the song, there is a feeling that 2 Chainz lives life to the fullest, with no regard to the law enforcement. He wants to remain fresh and fly, and keep the Feds in check. In the end, he is not afraid of anything, sending “flicks” of his new garments to his partners in the state pen. The line “I'm be fresh as hell if the Feds watching” is repeated throughout the song and emphasizes that he will always look his best regardless of who is observing him.
