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 90βs. 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".

(Uh, man, um wow)

Lil bitch don't you panic
Got a yard that's so damn big
I ordered thirty hammocks (got it)
Niggas claim they got a tool but never used a hammer (bap, bap)

The lyrics of "Grey Area" are filled with vulgar and lewd lines meant to show off the rapper's capabilities, wealth, and subversion of traditional moral values. The song starts with the rapper, 2 Chainz, boasting about his age and how he is old enough to be someone's father but young enough to sleep with their mother. The second verse is filled with more explicit lines about sleeping with family members, jugging Xanax, and bragging about his drug use. The third verse mentions his success in the music industry, taking care of his taxes, and his sexual conquests with various women.
In many ways, "Grey Area" is a song about excessβexcess in wealth, indulgences, and breaking societal norms. The lyrics evoke a sense of rebellion against the traditional rules of society, highlighting that 2 Chainz is living in the gray area and doing whatever he wants. Despite the lyricsβ seemingly crass and offensive nature, they effectively show 2 Chainzβs nonconformist attitude.
