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".

Before all these people lost jobs
Kari couldn't find one
He ain't really ask me for nothin'
It's time rob somethin' (it's time)
People more in tune with their senses than the Bible
'Round here you sold dope or pussy
It's called survival (true)
Middle finger to pigs, 12, feds, and 5-0
Niggas call you when they want somethin'
Just like a side hoe
My mind blown, when I was down niggas was blindfold
Grind mode, still sellin' bags when I was signed though
That's a sign though, I'm a rhyme more, I'm in Cabo (Cabo)
Mike Amiri, Dior like I'm Pop Smoke
On the top floor, listen carefully, this the top floor (top)
I been poppin' over people head like July Fourth (pop it)
Partner died, I didn't cry, guess my tears is dried up
When I was winnin', you wasn't clappin' for me, your hands was tied up (tied)
And I'm tired of all this pain that's inside of me
Talkin' to my demons and they told me that they were proud of me
They wait for you to die
They wait for you to die
They wait for you to die
They wait for you to die
Got them drugs not prescribed, tryna mask what's inside
Be the first one to say, I'm the last of my kind
Yeah, it's two-step aside
Not the one, I'm a vibe
All the rage that's inside
Durin' a plague I survive
I'm God's favorite (yeah)
And when it come to the drip
I'm a navy ship (boom)
I'm with you up in this bitch
Ain't no baby steps (nah)
I jumped over the fence
They wait for you to die
So they can sit reminisce (reminisce)
Yeah
I mean you got some people out here waitin' on you to die)
So they can take your girl (uh, uh)
(They wait for you to die)
The labels waitin' on you to die
(Niggas sit reminisce about you)
Some people waitin' on you to die
(They wait for you to die)
(So they can sit and talk shit about you, uh)
They waitin' on you to die so they can get some your materialistic things
(Wait for you to die)
Ah, you know, you know grandma left me the house, you know
She left me the car (wait for you to die)
You know (uh)
Did they have life insurance? (uh)
Who goin' to pay for the funeral? (uh)
(They wait for you to die)
What you mean you been doin' all that hustlin' and you ain't have nothin' saved up?
So when you die you leave that responsibility to someone else (down)
(They wait for you to die)
You gotta get a GoFundMe account or some shit like that
(They wait for you to die)
You gotta raise money
But see if, see if I don't pay for the funeral (they wait for you to die)
I ain't, I ain't a real nigga no more
You ain't real no more
Man, come on with that shit
(They wait for you to die)
The song "Wait For You To Die" by 2 Chainz highlights the harsh realities of life in the ghetto. In the first verse, 2 Chainz talks about how people have no option but to sell drugs or engage in prostitution to survive. He talks about how the Bible is not very helpful to people who are struggling to survive. The lyrics express the idea that the world is a cruel place, and people are forced to make choices that are not in their best interest.
The chorus "They wait for you to die" is repeated several times throughout the song, highlighting how people are always waiting for someone to fail so they can take advantage of the situation. In the second verse, 2 Chainz talks about how people are waiting for you to die so that they can take the things that you have. He mentions how people wait for you to die so that they can reminisce and talk about you. The lyrics take an introspective turn in the third verse when 2 Chainz talks about his own experiences. He talks about how people didn't clap for him when he was winning, and now they are waiting for him to die.
Overall, the song is a commentary on life's struggles and the nature of people in difficult situations. 2 Chainz highlights how people often prey on the vulnerable and are only interested in them when they can get something out of them. The song is a reminder that in life, you have to be ready to fight for yourself because no one else is going to do it for you.
