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 ↴
Got head on the way home
She left her other friends at the club
Got home, and I f***ed her with my J's on
And that's ratchet huh? Yeah
Her a** so big it look like she trying to walk backwards bruh
(Woah bring it back)
Take your a** to the mall after
Spa day, shawty
Kill that p****, pallbearer
You from that RuPaul era
I'm from that hell nah era
Real n****s say true
Real n****s ain't you
I ride around with that yapper on me
Gun clap when my Glock up on me
Surround your a** with so many shots
You'll be claustrophobic
Crib so big a dinosaur can run through that s***
I'm a shark, and you a tuna fish
My paper up, got your girl with her ankles up
Gangster boy
She got her T-shirt and her panties on
She trying to smell my cologne
I can f*** her anywhere I want
I even f*** her on the floor
And that's ratchet huh?
Her a** so big it look like she trying to walk backwards bruh
(Whoa bring it back)
I'm on top like a toupée
You on the side like a toothache
Box your a**, suitcase
I'm real, you ain't
Calamari, crab cakes
My closet the size of your damn place
You lookin' at a star
I wish that they could add space
I'm getting money, fast pace
My hoes gave my cash straight
He can't ball, he castrated
She the opposite of last place
Do it, bust it open, slow it down, Robitussin
My girl got a big a**
Your girl, back pockets touching
I want a dollar, I want everything
Balls out, I let 'em hang
Window shopping for a wedding ring
On a double date with Molly and Mary Jane
And that's ratchet huh?
Her a** so big it look like she trying to walk backwards bruh
If you patch your weed that's ratchet
My last album was classic
Shawty on my dica
Backwards spells acid
She pop a P like a zany
She don't use no hands or no panties
She rock like nose candy
You f*** with me, ain't no plan B
I'm a D boy with a degree
I sold dope in my momma's home
My girl p**** deep (deep)
So right there is my comfort zone
Born alone, die alone
Mud in my styrofoam
She got on top of me like a stage,
I said use my dick as a microphone
"Mainstream Ratchet" by 2 Chainz is a song about celebrating and flaunting one's wealth and status, as 2 Chainz raps about his lavish lifestyle, with expensive cars, grand homes, and even supermodels. The song's title itself is an oxymoron, as the term "ratchet" is usually associated with ghetto and unsophisticated behavior. However, 2 Chainz takes this notion and turns it on its head, making being "ratchet" a new trend and an aspiration for many. The song is a mix of braggadocio and humor, with 2 Chainz rhyming about everything from designer clothing to sexual conquests.
In the first verse, 2 Chainz boasts about picking up a supermodel and having sex with her while still wearing his Jordan sneakers. He also references the size of her ass and describes her trying to walk backward as a result. In the second verse, he raps about his high-rolling lifestyle, with lines like "My closet the size of your damn place" and "You lookin' at a star, I wish that they could add space." The chorus repeats the line "Her ass so big it look like she trying to walk backwards bruh," which has become a popular catchphrase in its own right.
Overall, "Mainstream Ratchet" is a song that revels in excess and extravagance, with 2 Chainz embracing his status as a wealthy rapper and embracing the ratchet lifestyle.

She straddled me as if she was performing on a stage
I said use my dick as a microphone
I encouraged her to use my penis as if it was a microphone
