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".

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Okay, just try it again
When I woke up this morning (morning)
All I could think about was you (you, you, you)
'Cause when I went to sleep last night
All I could think about was you (you, you, you)
Adam and Eve, don't eat that fruit
'Cause I'm the nigga that told them niggas
That told them niggas, 'bout you (you, you, you)
Chuck the deuce, while I'm ridin' through (yeah)
Tity Boi, I might sign a boob (yeah)
Your nigga hatin', tell your nigga that's hatin'
That if he gettin' some paper I might sign him too (oh)
Best believe, I'm just slidin' through
Pull your panties to the side, let me slide through
I can see you niggas from the side view
I'm in and out the pussy, drive through (ow)
White coupe with the white rims
I like to crack the top and let the light in
You know she dark skin, her friend light skin
Put us together, and it's ice cream (ow)
Sandwich it, she can't manage it
I know her man is sick, she can't handle it
She need some time alone, I told her call my phone
And when she call my phone I didn't answer it (ow)
KO, KO, KO, KO (KO, KO, KO, KO)
I'm gonna smoke 'til you niggas can't smoke no more (yeah)
Roll 'til you bitches can't roll no more
KO, KO, KO, KO (KO, KO, knock it out, know it out)
I'm gonna blow 'til you niggas can't blow no more (yeah)
Blow 'til you bitches can't blow no more
KO, KO, KO, KO (KO, let me hit it, let me hit it, knock it out)
I'm gonna smoke 'til you niggas can't smoke no more (yeah)
Roll 'til you bitches can't roll no more
KO, KO, KO, KO (KO, knock it out, let me hit it, let me hit it)
I'm gonna blow 'til you niggas can't blow no more (yeah)
Blow 'til you bitches can't blow no more
Do it
I was in Detroit, Michigan not too long ago
And visiting with some friends of mine
B-I-G
Okay, I'm in motion, I'm rollin' and smoking (boy, boy, boy)
And smoking and rollin' like I'm locomotion
I'm walking outside and I'm causing commotions
Got purp and champagne that's a real nigga potion
I'm burnin' bread, toastin' and joking
'Cause I went from views from my mom's house
To views of the ocean (whoa)
Niggas talk shit, But that's free promotion
I'm living my life like the end is approaching
Man, fuck these niggas with a passion (okay)
I'm gettin' paid from the cradle to the casket (do it)
My grandma said, "boy, you need to read a bible chapter"
'Til I bought her ass a house bigger than the Pastor's
Hallelujah ('Lujah)
Your now fucking with a bad bitch connoisseur ('seur)
My ex-girl said, "man, the fame caught up to ya" (to ya)
Baby, you don't still think about me (what you mean? What you mean?)
Wet dream about me, I swear you use to couldn't wait to KO
KO, KO, KO, KO (boy, B-I-G, boy, Sean Don)
I'm gonna smoke 'til you niggas can't smoke no more (boy, boy)
Roll 'til you bitches can't roll no more (oh yeah)
KO, KO, KO, KO (KO, knock it out)
I'm gonna blow 'til you niggas can't blow no more (boy, boy, boy)
Blow 'til you bitches can't blow no more
KO, KO, KO, KO (KO, let me hit it, let me hit it, knock it out)
I'm gonna smoke 'til you niggas can't smoke no more (yeah)
Roll 'til you bitches can't roll no more
KO, KO, KO, KO (KO, knock it out, let me hit it, let me hit it)
I'm gonna blow 'til you niggas can't blow no more (yeah)
Blow 'til you bitches can't blow no more (boy, boy, boy, boy)
The lyrics to "K.O." by 2 Chainz feat. Big Sean revolve around their hedonistic lifestyles and desires. Both rappers brag about their sexual prowess, wealth, and excessive indulgences in drugs and alcohol. They use hyperbolic language, from the idea of 2 Chainz signing a boob, to Big Sean buying his grandma a house bigger than the pastor's. While the lyrics may seem shallow on the surface, they serve as a commentary on the sensory overload of fame and success, leading to a never-ending cycle of self-gratification.
There's a sense of irony throughout the song, with both rappers acknowledging that their behaviors may not be healthful, but they continue anyway. 2 Chainz references Adam and Eve and the forbidden fruit, then declares that he's going to eat it anyway. Rather than encouraging listeners to follow in their footsteps, the song is a reflection on the excesses that come with fame and wealth.
To conclude, "K.O." is a catchy and provocative song due to its unapologetic celebration of materialism and sexuality. It's essential to look beyond the outrageous lines and observe the meta-commentary on the implications of fame-obsessed culture.
