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".

2 Chainz
I am smokin' on that gas, life should be on Cinemax
Movie, bought my boo bigger tits and a bigger ass
Who he's? Not I, I smoke strong, that Popeye
Louie V's in my archives, black diamonds, apartheid (damn)
Bread up and my top down (down)
On the block with a block out (ugh)
Hit your ass with that bla-kow
Dope enough to go in yo' nostrils (yeah)
I take your girl and kidnap her ('nap her)
Feed her to my mattress (mattress)
A skeleton in my closet (closest)
It's probably one of these dead ass rappers (tell 'em)
It's probably one of these pussy ass niggas (nigga)
Don't try me, I'll pull that trigga (bow)
Got your car note in my cup (cup)
And your rent in my Swisher (tru)
That pussy so good I miss ya
Head game's so vicious (vicious)
And all I get is cheese (cheese)
Like I'm taking pictures
Yeah, I say fuck you, 'less I'm wit' ya
If I take you out of the picture
I know real niggas won't miss ya
No lie, no lie, no lie-ee-i-ee-i
No lie, no lie, no lie-ee-i-ee-i
Real niggas say word
You ain't never told no lie
You ain't never told no lie
Real niggas say word

2 Chainz and Champagne
You want true, that's true enough
Forbes list like every year
My office is my tour bus
She came through, she brought food
She got fucked, she knew wassup
She think I'm the realest out
And I say, "Damn, that makes two of us"
Oh, that look like what's her name
Chances are it is what's her name
And chances are if she was acting up
Then I fucked her once and never fucked again
She could have a Grammy, I still treat her ass like a nominee
Just need to know what that pussy like, so one time it's fine with me
Young as an intern, but money like I built the shit
Streets talking that confirm
Go ask them who just killed shit
Stay keeping my cup full so I'm extra charged like a state tax
Me and Chainz go way back
We don't talk shit, we just say facts
Yes, Lord
I say fuck you, 'less I'm wit' ya
If I take you out of the picture
I know real niggas won't miss ya
No lie, no lie, no lie-ee-i-ee-i
No lie, no lie, no lie-ee-i-ee-i

Name a nigga that want some
I'll out rap his ass, out trap his ass
Put his ass in a plastic bag with his trash ass
Take 'em out, bring 'em in
Them whole things, 2Pac without a nose ring
Thug Life, one wife, a mistress and a girlfriend
I did what they say I wouldn't (tell 'em)
Went where they say I couldn't (tru)
YSL belt buckle
Y'all niggas sure is looking
Y'all niggas sure is lucky
Two chains on my rugby
Left hand on that steering wheel
Right hand on that pussy
Yeah, I say fuck you, 'less I'm wit' ya
If I take you out of the picture

The opening lines of 2 Chainz's song No Lie set the tone for what is to come: a braggadocious, indulgent rap anthem that asserts his dominance in the music industry. The song features Mike WiLL Made-It's futuristic beats, which gives the song a feel of an extraterrestrial race's chant. The lyrics describe his lifestyle and sexual escapades, with him "smokin' on that gas, life should be on Cinemax" and "feedin' [a woman] to my mattress".
He is quick to assert that he is not like other rappers who claim to have powerful pull in certain situations - he tells them "fuck you, 'less I'm wit' ya", declaring that they aren't truly influential. Chainz goes on to assert that he has a powerful presence in the rap game, able to out-rap and out-trap others, and mentions appearing on Forbes' list multiple times. The chorus emphasizes that "real niggas" never lie and only speak the truth.
Overall, No Lie carries a sense of self-championing in a boastful and confident manner, from Chainz's cryptic allusions regarding the mysterious woman he's singing to, to the hyperbole of his dominance as an artist in the music industry.
